Why Choose Floor Modification
The Zeekr 009 comes with fabric carpet, which feels acceptable but presents several practical issues. Owners report difficulties cleaning up spilled drinks during business pickups, and sand and mud from rainy weather easily penetrate the fiber layers. More importantly, fabric carpet is prone to mold in southern China's humid climate, with one Guangzhou owner sharing their experience of carpet mold on a forum.
Floor modification offers two main benefits: durability and ease of cleaning, as aviation aluminium or high-strength composite materials are waterproof and stain-resistant; and an upgraded appearance that adds prestige during business receptions.
Comparison of Floor Materials
There are several mainstream floor materials available:
- Aviation aluminium floor: Strong metallic texture, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, good thermal conductivity; downside is the cold touch in winter
- High-strength composite floor: Similar to SPC flooring, excellent waterproof performance, comfortable underfoot, but slightly less wear-resistant than metal
- Solid wood floor: Best natural texture, but heavy weight makes it unsuitable for frequent in-and-out business scenarios
This Shanghai owner ultimately chose aviation aluminium floor, reasoning that since the Zeekr 009 rear floor sees frequent passenger traffic, durability was the top priority.
Modification Process
The modification is divided into three main steps:
Step one is removing the old carpet, which requires stripping the rear seats and seatbelt buckles; step two is floor cutting and trial fitting, requiring precise trimming based on actual interior dimensions; step three is securing and restoring, using dedicated clips and sound-dampening pads to ensure no rattling during driving.
The entire process is completed by a professional modification shop, with labor costs around 800 yuan and material costs ranging from 3,000 to 6000 yuan depending on the brand.
Cost Breakdown
Cost breakdown for aviation aluminium floor modification on the Zeekr 009:
- Materials: 3800 yuan (domestic brand basic model)
- Sound insulation cotton + moisture barrier: 600 yuan
- Labor: 800 yuan
- Total: 5200 yuan
If choosing a professional brand like Sang Shi Li Ya, material costs increase by approximately 20%, but workmanship and after-sales service are more reliable.
User Experience
After the modification, the owner reports the most obvious change is how much easier cleaning became. Spilled drinks can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, unlike before when it required repeated vacuuming. Additionally, the metallic sheen of the aviation aluminium floor genuinely elevates the interior's upscale feel, with generally positive feedback from clients during business receptions.
One point to note is that the metal floor does feel quite cold when getting in during winter, so pairing it with floor mats is recommended.
FAQ
