Of course, this begs the question....

Any good floor mats recommendations?

Honda is having the mats manufactured cheap because dealers have told them customers don't want to buy accessory mats, instead they want them included new with the car. Honda offered a high quality accessory mat with the last generation Accord and they were a total flop. So in short, don't count on any high quality carpet mats in the future. My suggestion? Go all season.

Seems I have watched them go down the drain over the years. My del Sol mats were really nice even had what felt like a metal plate in them. My 02 Si's didn't have the plate but seemed pretty decent. My ridgeline had rubber so no complaints there. Now my 08 has thin foam backed mats. the Si logo is cool though.

Weather Tech Floor Liners are the absolute best thing you can get. A little pricey but worth the investment.They are pretty rigid and act like big dishes. They clean up really quickly and water beads right off. They were the first thing that I got.
