Default Budget car mats?

So my S came with Honda beige/grey mats with red piping. I've always said they would go straight away, yet here I am a year later with them still in my car!

I have red interior so thinking black mats with red piping. Ebay is a mine field though! So many "fitted" mats for sale for as little as £10 a set lol!

My budget is about £50 and I only need the front two as nobody can see under my seats right!! I also don't want plastic heel pads!

Thanks for any advice

for a little extra you can get a set of S2K Tuning mats.

I'd either go for 'Muz' style or 4 piece as I like having the cross member covered to stop any wear on the carpet.

All well and good saying get S2K Tuning ones but I still think all of those ones have rubber heel pads on them. I've seen a couple of prototypes for a carpet pad but not sure if they've gone into production yet. Not sure why there's a reluctance to just leave the pad off completely akin to OEM but it's their choice.

The best I've seen so far is the recent thread where they made their own and took them to a local carpet place to get the piping run around the edge done

I bought some from ebay for 18 quid and they're fine for me. The fit is good, and with some velcro tape they stay in place fine.

We are running a chunky carpet heel pad option now if you don't want the PVC heel mat. Hope that helps

These are the ones I bought, bear in mind they are cheaper than the likes of Muz and S2K tuning, so the carpet probably wont be as thick etc.

I've had them about a year now, I'm going to give the car a hoover tomorrow so I'll take some pictures of them so you can assess what 12months worth of wear and tear looks like...


The S2K Tuning ones with the carpet heel pad look much better then the PVC, I might upgrade to a set of those at some point...

Thanks guys. S2K tuning is sending over some pics of his carpet heel pad version.

If not i'll go for the set Scottland recommended after seeing his wear and tear pics Do they have holes in the drivers side like OEM?
