Floor Mats!

The carpet in my driver’s foot well wasn’t in great condition when I bought the car and a year of delivering pizzas didn’t do it any favors. Thought I’d throw in some floor mats in to save it from further damage.

After searching around a while for different options, I settled on a set of OEM all-weather mats. They’re half the price of Weather Tech mats and fit well. Each of those oval divots has a rubber spike on the bottom to keep the mats in place, which I expect will do a great job of keeping the mats stationary.

I like mine, I just wish the rears stayed in place. Damn kids keep kicking them under the front seats.

I’ve been looking at a cheapo set from advance (super econo cheap, we’re talking $10) for the winter time in my car. Fitted proper mats always look so much better

I definitely think it was worth $90 for a nice set. They’re so much better than the $40 universal set the used car dealer put in my car.

I found an OEM set for my Abarth on ebay. Having the scorpion on the rubber is a nice touch

OEM/dealer accesssories are sometimes overpriced junk compared to aftermarket solutions, but the Mazda rubber floormats are REALLY nice. I bought a set for my MS6 back when it was new, and they have been worth every dollar. Not only do they have the correct fit for the car, but they are nice heavy thick rubber with a lip around the edge to catch melted snow. After 11 winters of use they have held up great.

The only aftermarket options I found that seemed of equal quality were from WeatherTech, but their liners seemed a bit overboard to me and a lot of people had difficulty keeping them in place. For half the price, the OEM mats seemed like the obvious option.
