Review: 3D Maxpider Floor Mats - Verdict - WIN

This is interesting, what is this thing? Isn't it rubber? Why do you say the weathertech is massive? Looks like the same size.

 

Can you post closer pics? Does it look like carbon fiber or just woven like one? I like the look of it but don't want it to look like I'm doing a carbon fiber theme.

 

Looks pretty good

 

Apologies for digging up this old thread but did OP buy the Black or Grey model?

 

So black is more of a dark grey? (If my eyes are interpreting it correctly)

 

Hi Chris, thank you for sharing this! I'm looking to get this to replace my Husky WBs.
From your pictures, it doesn't look like the part underneath the accelerator is covered.
Is it just me or is that so? If so, do you have any concerns about it getting dirty underneath (from water leakage)?

 

I have the same mats on my 2010 prius and was also disappointed the area under the accelerator is not covered. Probably over reaction to the whole stuck gas pedal/mat issue a few years back.

I've noticed some debris/leaves have fallen onto the uncovered area so I'm sure if you don't wipe/knock the snow off first, some water can get behind that area too.

Drips however look like they may fall onto the mat considering the angle of the floor at that part of the foot well.

We'll see how it goes after this winter since it's my first with this car.

 

That's very sad to hear! That may be a deal-breaker for me.
I wish they covered that area up. The cover itself looks so good compared to other mats.

 

Thanks for sharing all the previous comments. I just found these mats on Amazon.com. I was intrigued by their claim that they also provide some Sound Insulation from road noise. Any feedback on that? Anyone who has these notice any reduction in road noise with the three layers? Finally, do crumbs and gravel get caught in the cross hatch pattern and are they still holding up nicely?

 

I found a MAXpider version with looped carpet. I may get those as our weather and mud are not real severe here, and you can still take them out and hose them down if needed, then let them dry out completely.

 

Thought I'd update my post regarding the uncovered accelerator pedal on prius gen 3 mats.

Winter has been rough. Lots of salt crusties in the mat and I can see even more debris like rock salt or sand has fallen onto the uncovered area. It's nothing a quick vacuum will take care of. Liquid wise, I don't see any salt or water accumulation on the uncovered area so my hypothesis that any snow melt drips back on to the maxpider mats was correct.

Overall I'm very happy with the mats. They're not slippery when wet. My one concern is that when the mat is water logged, it pools at the rear near the mat hook holes. I suspect salty water has drained through those holes and I won't find out until it's warm and clean enough to pull the mats out of the car.
