Floor mats

Floor mats
I like to protect the factory mats and carpet, so I typically toss in some aftermarket floor mats. I figured I would give these a try because they're dirt cheap and if they sucked, no biggie.
Well, I was surprised how nice they are and how perfectly they fit. These are about the same price as a set of lame ones from the auto parts store but they cover the entire floor, look fantastic, and have little pockets for phones and such.
Anyway, thought I would share if anyone is looking for some use and abuse floor mats. I'll post pics of them in my car later today.

Looking forward to photos and your review. I paid an extra $100 for the Sienna Tan Nubuck Edged carpet mats when I ordered my 2021 model and the one on the drivers side is already showing wear from where my heel contacts the carpeting. And this is only after 8000 miles and I typically wear only shoes with rubber heels like tennis shoes or Sperry Topsiders.
What material are they made from and where did you order them from ?

I ordered them directly from their site.

They cover the entire floor and up the sides of the tunnel and door buckets.

Thanks Cgo, they certainly cover everything. I think I prefer carpeting and when it comes time to replace my OEM mats I'm going to look for a set that has a heel insert to prevent the kind of wear that I am seeing now.
I forget the vendor, but there was a thread a couple of years ago here about one that offered high quality floor mats and a hatch mat. Does anyone remember who that was ?

If you are experiencing wear similar to @Dwight Frye (just in the heel area), you could retain your present mats and install a heel pad. These are available in several sizes and colors, in case you want them to blend with or contrast with your interior decor.
We have used the brand below on a few Daily Drivers over the years and they work GREAT.

It is worth noting that you need to use a proper automotive adhesive, like for headliners, (which they also sell). Craft-store adhesives do not stand up to the heat of auto interiors.

I have custom cocomats in my car - very classy and durable option. I am pretty sure I'll never wear them out in my lifetime. I posted on them here -

Not cheap. Worth every penny.

Lots of options out there, but I thought these were cool because they cover the entire bucket, sills, console, etc.
Yeah, those sound proof panels do look a lot like the premium diamond pleat interior in the Jag. Lol

I bought the same ones and, for the most part, like them. They are dirt cheap (<$50) and I think will need replacing within a year or so, but they look pretty slick. I'm not thrilled with how they meet the door sill. I keep trying to come up with a way to secure it so there isnt a gap.
But yes, they look good, perform well and are cheap enough to abuse and not care about.
