Advice for front floor mats

[Preston_D_Allen]

I’m a new mustang owner with a 2012 S197 and I’m looking for advice on best quality, price, and fit for front floor mats (preferably rubber floor mats)

Weather tech is pretty good. I've had them for 9 years.

Agreed. I’ve had them in mine for about 15+ as well.

WeatherTech in all my vehicles..

Just make sure the driver's side floor mat has the 2 x hole anchors. One day, my driver's side floor mat was covered in crap/ debris... so I removed it, and shook it out. Started raining, so stuffed it back in there asap....with out engaging the 2 x holes. 2 weeks later, when coming home, I mashed it for fun, and the damned throttle was stuck wide open in 2nd gear on my 2010 auto, with small Roush M90 blower + LT's. I barely made the T bone corner...and ended up on my neighbours from lawn, with 2 x huge ruts the entire width of his property, in a huge 70' arc....and just missed the tree in his front yard by 7". Took my toe off the gas pedal, but it was still wide open. Had my work boots on, with heel still on the floor mat. Finally got it under control. Scared the shit outa me. 6 k rpm in 2nd gear...and < 40' from the main road out front.

The driver's side floor mat had shifted forward. With gas mashed, and boots on, the edge of the floor mat engaged the lower portion of the gas pedal, pinning it. With heel on the floor mat, mat stayed put. Once foot onto the brake pedal, rpm dropped. And here's me, trying to do a 90 deg, from my side street. I was lucky. Normally there is 1-2 vehicles parked in front of his home....that and folks walk with their dogs / kids / baby buggy's on his side of the street. At 50-60 mph, I woulda wiped em out.

So much for Ford's.....'57 point safety inspection' from the week before. Now you know why those 2 x holes are there. I bought the new mats from AM....and they are notched where the gas pedal is...and also on left side where the foot rest is.

Yep, the WeatherTechs I have do have the holes. They are the plastic/rubber liners that catch stuff, not a rubber floormat.

Weather Tech is the best.

Oh god. That is a great story! I can see myself trying to explain to all the neighbors that it was my floor mats fault.

WeatherTech on all of my cars too. All anchors are hooked!
