Does anyone have the All season mats?

How good are they? The dealer didn't have any so I couldn't get them for free and I bet they cost an arm and a leg. Are they comprable to Pants Savers? I had something like Pants Savers in My Prelude and they did a pretty good job.

I bought Weather Tech all season mats and I love them. I had to do a tiny amount of trimming by the throttle since it is now hinged at the bottom. But not they fit great and they seem to be of good quality.

Where'd you get those? Crappy Tire?

Actually the acura mats are not too pricy I think I paid about 110. They are very good quality and fit perfectly. Contrary to the pevious gen you get all four instead of just the fronts. What is really expensive are the wheel locks $55, but an absolute necessity since the rims on this car raise a lot of attention.

I have the Acura ones also and they are great and fit perfectly Anyone in snow country would really appreciate the trunk tray also as it protects the entire base of the trunk.

Yeah, I got the locks but since I know snow is around the corner I'd like to get winter mats as well. How deep is the mat? Will it hold alot of water?

They aren`t as deep as some of the expensive ones, but they`ll definitely do the job and like Vtechbrain said, they fit perfect.

Another vote for the Acura all-weather mats. The fit perfectly and match the ebony interior well. I didn't have to cut them to get them to fit. It's been raining here the last few days and water seems to stay on the mat rather than spilling onto the carpet.

I have seen the Acura mats and I wanted something a bit deeper and more durable. The weather tech ones are advertised in all the auto magazines and Sherway Acura sells them in Toronto. And, in fact, there were less expensive than the Acura mats. The cutting was really easy and tidy.

How much? The deeper the better.

Denix, as far as I'm concerned all all-season mats are ugly, but if you live anywhere where it snows there simply isn't another option. Concerning the depth of the acura mats they are not the deepest but they will certainly hold enouh slush and water for one trip to the local ski hill.

I love mine. I know the parts guy at my local dealer so I got a good price. $105 total. I knew that other mats were out there but I wanted a factory look.

I got one from dealer

I got it from dealr, which was part of deal... and...
it looks fine with my Ebony interior but gets dirty easily.

Since it's Rubber u can just rinse it out with water but..
I think it's better to use the carpet which is kinda hard to clean once it get dirty

I had the mats thrown in as well when I purchased the car. They do fit great and when I was removing the cloth mats that came with the car I'd say both sets of mats are extremely thin. Seems like acura cheaped out on the mats. Oh well... the car's still great.

I bought black mats from Canadian Tire yesterday. They look pretty deep and they have this one section where there is a sponge to suck up water.

$30 each.

The interior I have selected is parchment, I feel the black mats would not match. Therefore I went the cheap route. $20 for clear mats at Walmart that have grooves that will hold water. During the winter months I use the plastic mats and in the spring and summer I remove them. After five years i end up buying another set of Acura floor mats.

I've got the Acura all-seasons. I like them and bought them from the dealer. They've been doing a very good job, no snow yet, but plenty of rain. I have the same color combo as bollywood21 and feel they match slendidly- matches the dashboard.

Bollywood: I'm looking to replace my SUV next year. Why did you decide on the MDX? Did you look at the Honda Pilot?

Someone posted some pics with parchment or camel interior with the all season mats. I have to say it does match the black on the dash and on the car doors works well with the floor mats

I have a 2001 MDX. The Pilot didn't come out until 2002. I still would have chosen the MDX because of the aerodynamic body and nicer interior. The 04 MDXs have dual exhausts, looks sharp!!!

mats

I have the all season mats and I'm a little disappointed with them. I love the perfect fit but the ridges are not deep enough to trap sand, etc... Once these wear out, I'll but deeper mats and cut to fit.

I only had to modify the driver's side mat to get around the gas pedal.....otherwise I really like the mats I got.

Just got my new Acura all weather mats and they are sweet. They are a perfect fit with not ghetto cutting-to-fit. They are plenty deep enough and see no problems. We are getting our first snow storm here in NJ so i will have the real test this weekend. Will relpy with results after storm on both mats and handling in snow.

I've already used them in snow and they are great. In fact I am going to use them all year round and the carpets will look new. Besides nobody even looks at them once the car starts talking.

Small update on acura mats. Good news, all passenger mats are very good. Bad news, The driver's mat pretty much sucks. Unfortunately our beloved lower hinged accelerator creates a wonderfull area for water to collect. Furthermore, the mat tends to drain to that area too! Unfortunately, I dont see a good fix for the problem since raising the border of the mat in that area could theoretically interfere with the operation of the pedal. Iv'e had to take a wet vac to it twice so far!

Is anyone using the all-weather mats without the included OEM cloth mats?

I know the instructions say to not use them simultaneously, but I haven't figured out why they don't want you using them together.

For what it's worth, I use them together and they don't seem to cause any problems (except it makes the driver's side mat harder to remove from the clips).
