FR-S Stock Carpet Mats - anyone else's doing this?
2 Attachment(s)
I've had my FR-S for just over a month an I noticed my carpet on the driver's side where my left foot rests when not depressing the clutch pedal is starting to "fuzz". Not a big issue, just kind of surprised its not more durable. Attachment 13488Attachment 13489

yeah that's pretty normal for all my cars...i'm surprised though that it's happening after only a month.
|
Same issue here after a few weeks. I just put the rubber mat down on the driver side and will switch to the carpet mat if/when I ever sell the car.
|
I've already planned on replacing the carpet so eh.
Once the rainy season starts (and lasts for 10 months) I will get I will the rubberized floor mat on the drivers side. |
i'm also waiting for weathertech to come out with prodcuts for our cars. once that comes out, hopefully before winter, the carpets coming out!
|
i put weather rubber mat on top of the stock car mat :D

Yeah I did the new product request for weathertech also. Hopefully they'll release them before winter. Anyone heard if/when Scion or Subaru will release rubber mats for our cars?
|
Mine is the same after 2000mi :(
The floormats in my other cars are much more durable. Even my 96 Lexus floormats are in better shape. |
lol .. mine did it in the first week .. 300? miles
|
oh man that sucks.. i didnt want to mess mine up so i just placed rubber mats over them, easier to keep clean as well

Didn't you get the rubber floor mats from scion?

There is a warning about only having one set of mats in there at a time. If you put the rubber ones in, you should remove the cloth ones. |
I installed my rubber mats while the car was still on the delivery floor at the dealer so my carpet mats are perfect
|
Wait wat!? Scion themselves have rubber mats? ooohhh gonna have to revisit dealer.

Don't think Scion USA sells them, they are included with the car in Canada (all 2012+ Toyota/Lexus/Scion models come with both sets of mats in Canada).

Scion doesn't have rubber mats yet, so I picked up a universal set at the local auto parts store before I grabbed my car. The dealer mentioned the "oh god don't use two floor mats" thing too, and I think it's bull--the carpet mats are attached by the little hooks, so they're not sliding anywhere, and the rubber mat will slide just as easily on the car's normal carpeting as on the carpet mat.
|
Mine aren't to the fuzzy stage yet, but the carpet is crushing down pretty good in the same spot after 3300 miles. I took the carpet mat out on the driver's side last weekend, and put the rubber mat in it's place. The Scion rubber mats are pretty thin and cheap, but should be ok for 3 season use, or someone who doesn't see much snow. I posted the part number for the Scion mats a while back, but if anyone wants it, I'll post it again.

Damn that's too soon.

I would wait for WeatherTech or Husky Liners etc to make a set of All Weather Mats for our cars. Ever since the recalls, Toyota's rubber mats pretty much suck. They no longer have the nice, deep lip that contains all the slop. They no longer have that nice deep lip because they need to do what they can to protect people from themselves, by stacking floor mats. The old design of their mats had about 3/4 - 1" deep lip all around the mat to contain the slop, which was also the reason they trapped gas pedals when they slid under the gas pedal. The gas pedal would become trapped at WOT and sent the driver's into a panic that they forgot how to operate the car and turn it off, slam on the brakes, or throw it in neutral. Most, if not all of the issues were with Autos because if someone ran into an issue with a manual, just depress the clutch.

And that's why I drive a manual :)
I agree a giant loose rubber mat can be dangerous if stuck, the one I use is the small piece that pp put on the back not the full size piece. |

don't be suprised,it's by far not the best quality carpet. |
I'm thinking about going this route...
