I honestly don't know why so many people put floormats on floormats. Just put them in the washing machine with some oxyclean every 6 months and they come out looking brand new. Once they get worn in a few years jsut replace them. They cost about 60 bucks. All these fany floor mats cost more than that. So your using a floormat to protect your floor mat and its more inspesive than the floor mat your protecting?!?

Its just like those clear plastic 3m paint protection. They cost hundreds of dollars while a front bumper paint job cost the same if not cheaper. So in 5 years or so once you got a bunch of nicks on your bumper or scratchs. Just get it repainted.

Do you know what salt does to carpet? I will post a pic of what happens after a long winter to the floormats. They are completeley destroyed by salt lol. No amount of oxyclean will fix them either, which is why if you get a rubber mat, it will protect the carpet from salt/sand for the most part.

salt...hmmmm, I'm a little South for that. But yesterday, I was at a demolition derby out in the sticks. Smarter minds might say I shouldn't have been there, but there was cow sh#$ everywhere in the spectator parking.

I'd rather hose it off than get it in the carpet.

Oh yeah, the spectators were the reason I was going, btw. Just what you'd think. I got my money's worth.

Instead of spending $100 on line, I just got back from AutoZone with some really THIN ones...but at least the ridges won't wear thru (it don't got none). Really thin. $12 for 4.
