Rear Floor Mats
 

how do you guys feel about the rear floor mats? ...do you like them? do you hate them? are you indifferent to them? did you remove them for weight reduction?

they are not as cool as the front floor mats because they don't have the fr-s emblem but i like to have the peace of mind knowing that they are there

I collect them - when I get enough I will carpet my garage!

Seriously these are the most useless excuse for a dealer add-on ever.

I keep them there just incase I try and fit a dismembered body back there. I find the best way is to cut the legs clean off. The mat helps catch and left over blood that may drip so cleanup is a breeze

i heard if you upgrade to the weathertech floor mats then it makes the clean up even simpler but it's pricey

If you decide on a delete please post a DIY so we don't have to explain how to do it 1,000 times.

Oh come on dude you know perfectly well that with the seat folded down you don't even need to dismember the bodies.

haha @ the diy request^

On a more serious note, I replaced mine with the 3DMaxpider mats. They actually cover more of the floor and saved me once already when my dog puked off the side of the back seat.

Well I meant a mat delete but that works as well.

Since I never drive more than 2 ppl in my car, plus I took my rear seat off..
So, I take them away for easier vacuum.

I rarely have people back there but left them in so it is easier to clean. I would rather take them out and shake off all the cigarette ashes than vacuum them up.

The new thread material has gotten pretty thin. We're discussing rear mats now.

What happened to the days of Visconti tunes starting fires. Torque dips. Crickets. Port-Direct injection. Sound tube. This FI is better than that FI. Break in necessary? Manual vs. Auto. Weak paint. Holes in rear fender. Can I run reg gas? Bunny Rabbit. Stance. I crashed and lived to start a thread. Etc. Etc.

Just playing. Please continue.

I no longer have the car, but I do remember those rear mats were easy to remove and clean. Can't comment on any dismembered bodies.

That requires a video...

I have seen a few videos in the back seat of cars but none involved mat removal.

Those still get resurrected from time to time when somebody wants to either say "Me too" or pick a fight with somebody that hasn't been here for 3 or more years.

Weight reduction?? Yeah, these bad boys will really take their toll on ETs!!! ;-)

:sigh: ........another slow day in FX86 land ... ??

What kind of mileage do you get when you take these out?:popcorn:

actually the handling dynamics of the car changes...like being a few PSI low on your tires...gas mileage might improve by .1

I keep those mats in the trunk. Left there, they help keep other things from sliding around somewhat.


Well, actually things put in trunk seem to FLY around in this car, rather than slide around. Could possibly be a result of my driving style.


I've seen cars in which people leave things top of dash. Such things would not make it around the first corner in my car. Must be there are some who've never been taught that corners are made for accelerating.

Chuck em in the garage. They make passable kneeling pads.

i feel ya

i don't have any drinks in my car....they might fall out of the cup holders...groceries are obviously buckled up (didn't buckle up a bag of sugar...let's just say the bag exploded in my back seat)

Same for dangly air freshener packs on the rear view mirror. That would get old very quickly.

Someone stole my rear floor mats :(

Dark haired man, recently lost eyebrows?

Well the brochure is very clear on how to go about it even right down to how to wrap the body. Although it does appear you have to decapitate them. It is nice that they even indicted where to place the handbags though.


I also just noticed that apparently you are also supposed to bind the hands of your passenger in front of them. Not sure how well that will go over with the live ones.

Mummys always have handbags.

That is how you can tell them apart from the Daddys!

I still have my eyebrows... even if I am on record as saying I collect these.
