Wow, these are nice. I think these shots have convinced me to pull the trigger.

Awesome! You can't go wrong with these mats and I definitely think they are worth the price. They provide about the same coverage as the Husky liners but have a more premium look and feel.

Mine were purchased here: 3D Floor Liners for Honda Fit 2009+ | Auto Distributor Direct

These are also sold by etrailer.com and I've had good experience buying from them in the past.

Always like the looks of those mats but I did not see them last year until after I got my Husky mats. If I decide to replace them I definitely am going to look at these, but I think my Husky will last longer then the car. Good luck and nice birthday present. Happy birthday.

I have those mats and i wore the driver side out in about 5 months. They look good thou. my heel rests on the heel padding and regular driving wore the heel pad out. don't know how husky liner holds up, but i was expecting more from these 3d liners.

Those mats look good compared to others I've seen. They blend in nice.

This the second winter with my Husky liners in my car and my wife's car. Besides my driver side looking a little dirty there is no signs of wear.

I read in other threads about folks having issues with the heel pad, but also about the great warranty and customer service with returns/exchanges. Hopefully these hold up longer than 5 months! Will update with any issues.

This happened to me as well. There's a manufacturing issue they addressed: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ml#post1208439

So far the replacement has been fine.

They'll replace it without question. Contact U-ACE by phone and ask for Kylie. U Ace, Inc

Thanks for the info about warranty/replacement mats. It's only been a couple weeks so we'll see how these hold up!

I just looked at the pics in your thread about these mats over in the GE8 gen discussion section and noticed that your mats are a little different than mine. For the driver mat, mine look like they are designed to use the factory hooks whereas the ones you have just have bumps over the hooks. Maybe they did a redesign of some sort?

Also, the Sport model appears to not come with a plastic foot pad on top of the factory carpeting. The base has the plastic pad but I guess Honda didn't put one in the Sport since it comes with floor mats? Just an interesting observation

Just noticed that about the hooks. Interesting. How's the driver side fit, particularly right side of the mat? Most everyone has reported a slight gap there. Your pics don't show that. Thanks.

It's interesting - the fit on the driver's side is great (even on the right side) with no real gap to speak of. On the passenger's side, it is less flush with the trim below the door sill.

Hey thanks for the info. I just called them and they said to send it back and they will ship out a new one.

Resurrecting this thread, but I had a second warranty replacement and this time Joe sent me the revised liners. They look just like yours, with the provisions for the factory clips. They fit so much better, particularly on the driver's side. They definitely revised the fitment of the liners to address the gaps.

In the third pic you can definitely see they fixed the gap issue on the right side.

Nice, thanks for that.

Only thing I don't like is that I wouldn't be able to see my aftermarket dead pedal otherwise this is a quality mat
