Question about these mats:

I drive in snow/rain as well, I'm thinking my heels/feet may slip around in that weather if they get wet? Would suck to have my foot slip while getting into the car or miss a shift.

This is true....they are meant for track use or in SoCal where rain is bewildering. I've seen people laminate the track matt with a thick clear rubberized material to avoid the slipping, but for the track, the smoothness of the aluminum is essential to move your feet (heels) around just a little to hit those downshifts.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds logical. They are really cool looking though...

But, looks like I'll be going with weathertech!
