Horrible Acura TL-Front Rubber Mats
Just venting.....Acura really dropped the ball here, such a horrible design on the front rubber mats with the TL logo on it... ..Every one complains about slipping as they get into the car. Even when I am getting into the drivers seat I slip some times.....don't know if this has been discussed.....finally pulled the trigger on some RED Loyd's costume cut rubber mats......have used them on 4 other vehicles before and have been very satisfied with their quality.....

Has any one done anything different on their front OEM rubber mats to make them more grippy???

My OEM rubber mats aren't slick at all. Guessing yours got all shined up which made them slick. The only time mine are slick is after I clean and cover then in 303...which I then wipe with a dry cloth and they aren't slick anymore.

If you feel the need to replace them however, go with Weathertecs.

they have wall around them and act like a tray instead of a mat, however they cost $220 for a whole set compare to $89-$110 for OEM all weather mat.

I did notice a lot less chafing, if that is what you are implying.
