Ok, my 3 sets of weathertech mats arrived today and I put them in...I like them! They make the van look more..."durable" I guess you'd say. Kinda like all that cladding that goes around Frontiers and the Chey Avalanche (which my brother is buying!). I just can't get him away from those American cars. ;-P

Anyway, I cut the 3rd set ('3' lines in) and they fit nice and snug now. A couple of questions:

1) I put them over the existing floor mats but I can see the edges of the mats. Should I take out the Honda mats? I know there was some discussion awhile back that mayb you'd get a couple of micro-decibels less of road noise..

2) I used one side I cut for the famous "Chuck-Dead-Pedal". Anything special you did Chuck? It 'kind-of' fits up against the back of the parking brake but Honda didn't really design that area very smoothly between this bolt & the floor so its not perfectly flat/smooth.

Anyway, lemme sneak out & see if I can't take a couple of quick pics so youse can what I'm talking about.

About..hmmm...1 1/2 weeks. I'll have to check the exact date I ordered them. I also ordered them from Roadworks. Here's a pic

PS. That digital camera sure makes the carpet look 'dirty'. Trust me though; the interior is still "brand-new". We just removed the dealer mats tonight when we put the weathertechs in.

Wow!

As usual; nice job Chuck! It makes me envious just looking at it for a dead pedal. I'm like you; I feel so much more in control of a vehicle when I can push on something with my left foot too.

Guess I'll see what I can put together; your ideas are pretty solid; I'll probably copy 90% of your work.
