GD carpet floor mats
I know most people were disappointed with the all weather floor mats mostly due to them burning a hole through the driver side mat. My heel kept getting snagged on mine because of the hole so I decided to look into some new floor mats.
I didn't want to spend more than $100 on new floor mats and really didn't feel like dishing out $200 for the Weather Techs either.
Found these on ebay for less than $50 with free shipping. I searched through ebay for at least an hour and couldn't find another floor mat that had the built in locking mechanism, other than OEM Hondas and the Weather Techs, but even then the WeatherTechs don't really lock in place. They are just kind of placed on top.
So I thought I'd share some photos of my find. These have a pretty solid construction for the price and I don't think I will be burning a hole through this one any time soon lol! What can I say, I am impressed with these. My old Civic had carpet mats and I've always liked the look of them. The rear mats have a built in velcro tab to help it stay in place which is a nice bonus. Also, the embroidered Japanese flag adds cool points. They are also available in red.
Picture of my dog for shits and giggles. She's an English Cream Golden Retriever.

Looks like they fit well enough. Did the tabs line up from the old oem ones on the drivers side, or are those just the holes? Opens up some options for us GE folks in the aftermarket (if you aren't too picky about them being an exact fit.)

To answer your question, the mats pretty much fit exactly like my all weathers. The passenger side is just a tad bit smaller in length, maybe 1/2" compared to my all weathers.

Good find. I have ran the Weater Techs this past winter here in Wisconsin, not liking them. Needed to add some absorbent material padding at the front because of them being short under the pedals...AND most of all, shoe tread would pickup the edge of the mat during shifts. I like my stock carpet mats (GE
), but needed a good bucket mat for our winters. And yes, Weather Techs do not lock down (so called DigitalFit) that's why I'd consider a second set of carpet mats for that price.

Sorry, I'm abit confused. Which one are you not recommending, the $50 ebay mat or the WeatherTechs? I'm about to purchase the WeatherTech DigitalFits soon, so yeah.
