How dirty does your carpet or floorboard get?

While a lot of vehicles come with factory mats already installed, these mats probably won’t meet your expectations.

Are Custom Car Mats Really Worth It?

Most OEM floor mats aren’t designed well – they are often an afterthought by the vehicle manufacturer.They are also usually rather expensive, especially when considering the quality you get.

But custom car mats are very affordable and they tend to do the job much better.

In most cases, these mats come with high edges, enabling them to work like trays and contain all the dirt.

 

🏆They have better fitment

While OEM floor mats are designed and manufactured by the same manufacturers as the vehicle, they normally come in a universal or semi-universal fit. One thing about universally fitting mats is that they are designed to fit multiple vehicles at once, which will prevent them from having a perfect fit to your specific vehicle.

But custom car mats are custom-molded and configured to fit the vehicle’s footwell perfectly. Take, for instance, Witamats. The floor mat is laser measured and made to follow the contours of the vehicle’s floor and have a seamless look.

You can see in the photo above, the Witamats hugs every part of the floor pan, from the bumps to the hump in the middle. Custom fit floor mats will fit your vehicle like a glove, they are specifically designed for your vehicle, not anyone else’s.

🏆They are better quality

The quality of OEM floor mats really depends on what the dealer sells you. When you buy a vehicle, most dealers try to sell you extra accessories like floor mats, window tint, pinstriping, etc.

They know you are already spending a lot of money on your vehicle, and are probably willing to spend a few more dollars for extra accessories.

The problem is, usually these floor mats are way overpriced and are a lesser quality than you can get from an aftermarket mat.

Custom car mats are designed by companies that specialize in floor mats. The quality is usually significantly better than factory mats, and come with longer warranties.

Witamats’ double-layer mat even come with a lifetime warranty.

🏆They contain messes better

Factory mats usually don’t perform as well as custom car mats. This is because in most cases they are not engineered with the features like channeling, or raised edges, to contain dirt and provide maximum protection to your carpet.

Custom car mats are specifically engineered the aim of protecting your carpets. They have more advanced surface channels and higher edges that ensure all the messes remain on the floor mat until you intentionally pour them out.

Most OEM mats have shallow channels and flat edges. Good examples of high-performance custom mats are Witamats.

🏆They are available in more colors

Most OEM car liners are only made in two color options, that is black and grey. Very few go beyond that and this limits your options.

Just like there are a variety of designs to choose from in custom mats, so are there many colors.

This allows you to pick the right color option to match other parts of your vehicle’s interior. For example, if you have a sports car with red interior, you can use a set of red mats to match your vehicle. To design your unique combination, check out the Witamats.
