Found a good solution. $1.58 black mat from K-mart. looks good too, like it belongs there. And at a couple bucks i can replace it as often as needed, tho it seems like it'll be durable. Now i just gotta figure out a way to make it stay in place. (velcro doen't stick to the honda mat)

 

theres a guy on ebay who makes custom fit clear mats... bit pricey.. but they fit perfect.

 

Take a can of Tuff Stuff and lather that shit into the carpet.
Your gonna be there scrubbing for a while but the shit and grime and grease and dirt and if you smoke and spill some buds on the carpet it will pick that up also.

Its pretty useful on the interior roof panel.
Gets alot of dirt out also.
It cost me like 6 bucks at Pep Boys and you get two cans for that price.

 

Actually, they did have the same mat as i got in clear. But i just thought the black would look better. Plus this is not a honda shaped mat, it's just a little square one that covers just the area where your feet touch. I think it's about as good as it can be to my eye and will do the job perfectly. As i said, it's just a matter of figuring out how to make it stay in place.



It's a new car, so i wasn't actually asking how to clean it, but how to keep the mat on the drivers side clean and keep it from wearing out where my feet touch w/o having to clean it every few days. This mat is the perfect solution for me since it addresses the wear factor, and i hopefully won't have to worry about cleaning much now.

 

well i plan on using my OEM mats.. with the custom cut clear ones over at least the drivers... it wont move.

 

Whatever works for ya. For me tho, i don't like the idea of a clear mat covering the entire mat. So the little black "patch" works for me. Somehow it actually looks good to my eye, plus it leaves the majority of mat uncovered. That doesn't matter tho as far as getting dirty because it's where your feel rest that is the area that gets ruined. I don't mind some dirt and having to clean it. But with my civic mat i could still clean it till it looked new except where my feet rest. And there it's just worn out and the dirt is permanenty embedded. Thats all i'm trying to avoid, and thats the area the little mat covers.

 

maybe getting it steam cleaned?? with some laundry detergent??
