Hole in floor mat from aggresive driving! - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisSedan · 10-01-2009, 12:29 AM

So i managed to burn a hole in my floor mat from my heel from agressive driving. I was looking at finding a metal heel plate and the only one i could find is made by momo while looking very nice it cost 99 dollars. And for about 70 i can get a whole new floor mat set.

Another option i was looking at finding a company that makes really high quality floor mats.

Anyone else experience this problem and if you did get custom floor mats who did you use?

Its getting to the point that under the floor mat the carpet is showing signs of minor wear also.

Its only been little over a year but i may end up just changing out to some fresh floor mats. The passanger side has a stain from having spilled motor oil on it and now is frayed cause i ran it through the washing machine which just made it worse. (dont ask)

Just make sure you can hook it up some place so it doesn't slip under the clutch pedal if you drive MT!

Mine is wearing out as well. I have long feet so I don't actually physically move my right foot when I switch from brake to gas I just leave my heel on the mat. Mine is showing an indentation and will start to fray soon I'm sure.
