I spoke to a rep and they said as of now they have no plans to make the WeatherTech Floor Liners for the manual (front), and no plans for the rear Floor Liners either.

They told me to just fill out the Application Request form ---> Application Request Form


I guess if enough people express interest in these products they might manufacture them.
I've already emailed them, and hope more of us do. This is a product I will definitely buy when it is available, unless I find a better solution before then. Hurry up WeatherTech...

I posted to their online request and invited the representative to visit fitfreak.net to determine demand.

I would love to see a floorliner for both sides with coverage over the hump and back around the magic seat support.

I love those JDM floor mats with the hump cover too bad they wont fit our left hand drive cars. (or do they by switching sides?) unsure


Good idea on telling Weather Tech (McNeil) to check out fitfreak.
I mentioned to them that this was the 1st yr of production for the GE8 model, and that this model will probably remain generally the same for 3-4 yrs, so they will certainly lose a lot of possible sales.

Maybe they will make them a yr or two later since there will be more GE8 owners, and more of a demand.

The Mugen Sports Mats comes with center mats and should be released this spring in the US. I'm using the all season oem mats, but I might buy these!

The JDM rear should fit. Come to think of it the fronts might work as well, just switch sides?



Yeah I love those Mugen floor mats... been eyeing them for a little while now, but the $$$ is kinda steep. Might get them later to match the JDM shift knob, boot, and steering wheel I was thinking of getting.

Exclamation

Folks ... every one, email McNeil Automotive. They will listen if enough of us ask for these mats. I did already, and got a response the next day that they are monitoring how many Fit's are out there, etc. I have the Floor Liners for my Odyssey, and they are absolutely the best thing I have ever seen out there to keep the snow, muck, dirt, etc. of Ohio out of that vehicle. The Honda all wx mats are flimsy in comparison.

I had a feeling that some minor mod would make the liners work. Thanks for confirming it. It was originally mentioned in this thread ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...available.html that the liners wouldn't work on the MT.


So, if a little mod would work on the front liners, I think I will get them once the whole set is available, and just file down the front drivers.
