    Great mod, thank you OP and template makers!

    Purchased this for $42:
    Nitrile Commercial Grade Rubber Sheet, Black, 60A, 0.093" x 36" x 48"
    Visit the Rubber-Cal Store. NBR rubber with high resistances to oils, ozone, moisture, impacts, and abrasion.
    $40 Nitrile Commercial Grade Rubber Sheet, Black, 60A, 0.093" x 36" x 48"
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6NMTT4J

    Printed template on plotter paper at copy shop for $6 each x 2 each.
    Template takes up about 16" x 42"
    Gave it to my QA/QC team for inspection.
    Lightly sprayed 3M adhesive and smoothed out on sheet.
    Cut out with new blade on utility knife. The rubber offers just enough resistance to smoothly fair the curves freehand very easily. Scissors were much harder to use.
    I have an old belt-hole punch for holes, too small. Reamed with 5/16 drill bit.
    Of a cheap assortment of plastic autobody fasteners, one style was a reasonable fit. I liked the two-piece inserts more than the one-piece friction.
    I added two more fasteners up top, easy to eyeball and push a centerpunch through the rubber.

    Here is my finished product. Used some Home Depot BBQ mat for the liner and the push tabs recommended by OP.
    Thanks for the templates!! @Shveet

    Finally got around to adding my Rad Runber splash guards in. Wipe them down heavily with Fluid Film before installing based off the manufacturer suggestion.
