Those with the WeatherTech floor mats, how do you like them?

Is the surface grippy enough to keep your heel planted where you want it?

Unless they get super wet or you are wearing dress shoes, yes.

They are one of the best purchases I have made honestly for the ease of cleaning and they are even better now that we have actual rain again.

I have to park in the dirt at my place, so I am constantly tracking in mud and sand. My stock mats are filthy all of the time as a result.

I am thinking about finally ordering a set of these, just not sure why I didn't do it sooner.

Same here. My driveway is next to mud. I finally got them when my drain plug for the heater clogged and they got moldy. Plus my driverside was wearing a hole through it from my heal.

I got mine from Jet.com for the cheapest price since they usually have a 20% off coupon floating around

I got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 instead because I think they look better and have been very happy with them. I don't have any issues with my heel slipping but I also have big fat feet which may help.

Really like mine, one of my very first purchases for the BRZ. Bought a set for the RS before I even had the car lol. The only thing I didn't like about them is how they don't cover the dead pedal all the way. No biggie, just looked weird having a (literally) half worn dead pedal when I took them out.

Never had a problem with grip, although I'm wearing sneakers 90% of the time.

How do you like these? Do they cover the dead pedal all the way? I ran into these when shopping for mats for the RS but ended up sticking with the weather techs. The fronts were good but rears were kinda disappointing (not the same thick stiff material as the fronts).

Those look pretty slick! Also it looks like they cover the dead pedal all the way.

Looks like the texture is a bit rougher/stickier than the Weather Techs as well.

I wanna put on my flat black Toyota badges and then put on either of these license plate frames (can't decide). Is that weird?

Why not. Everything else on the car says Subaru

[Clipdat]

But which one?!

Unfortunately the top couple of inches of the dead pedal stick up the mat. From my seating position the bottom of the dash is lined up perfectly to block the part of the dead pedal that is uncovered. Not that I'm normally looking down there when I'm driving so I guess that doesn't really matter.


I plan on being at the beginning part of tonight's Dublin meet if either of you come by and want to see them. I finally have a sweet mod that someone wants to see

[Clipdat]

I'm sick so I'm not coming out but can you post up a pic of how much it covers the dead pedal?

Its not about looks for me but how it'll feel on my foot. For me I only really rest the top half of my foot on the dead pedal, precisely the area on the Weather Techs that are uncovered.

That's what I was leaning toward anyway, thank you for the vote of confidence.

Need something boxer related since I took off my Proud of BOXER vinyl that was on the year window.
