I bought these and they have been great. Heavy lip around the perimeter keep any water etc. off the floor.

I had those but they kept creeping up on me and %$cking with my gas pedal. SCARY!!!!! They dont have clips/holes in the back like the factory. Pissed me off.

I literally threw them out and bought OEM rubber ones.

They were too thick. Much thicker than the OEM. The clips are too shallow for the thick mats. They barely fit under the seat in the space between the clip and the seat to begin with. That space is TIGHT.

It looks like I had a brain spasm. I thought I bought the mats at Weathertech but it turns out it was license plate covers I bought from them. The all season mats I have are the OEM's that I purchased from Ray Laks Acura. My mistake.

Looking at a closeup of the Weathertech mats, it looks like they have the holes needed for the hooks.

OEM.

I have used the same set for nearly 300,000 miles and they are still perfect. I wore though the brake pedal cover, but the mats are fine! They are heavy duty and don't move around on you.

Are you moving to colder climates?

I don't have snow here in Florida, but we have plenty of sand and the OEM mats make life so much easier.

Wow, sorry for this thread jack but FN P90: you have almost 300k miles on your 05 RL?

Back on topic: I have the original OEM mats and they work good for me and I live in Upstate NY where they use salt to melt the snow in the winter but I have to vacuum them regularly.
