Hi everyone, I recently bought a set of 3D MAXpider mats. I searched but didn't see a thread about them so I thought a quick "review" might be worthwhile for those considering them.
I wasn't very happy with the factory carpet mats so I went looking for something a little more durable with better protection. I hadn't heard of "3D MAXpider" before but the pictures looked nice and I found some decent reviews for other vehicles so decided to give them a shot. I bought them from Walmart since I figured returns would be easy if I didn't like them. I'll definitely be keeping them though. I saw some full sets but couldn't find the full set in black so ordered the front and rear separately. Here are the product links if anyone is interested.

First, I really like the way they look. They have a "carbon fiber-esque" look to them that matches the interior accents of the Si very well. I just got them so we'll see how they hold up over time but based on looks alone I'm very satisfied. I had Husky Liners in a previous vehicle and the "shiny" material they're made from didn't look as nice to me. From pictures the Weathertechs look like they're made from more of a "matte" material which would have been fine but I wanted something that would cover the entire dead pedal area.
The underside of the mats is very thick and the material grips very well.
I've linked the pictures below to the original size versions so you can click them to view the full size images.
Driver's side mat, fits perfectly. Has ridges where your heel goes, I guess to help keep it in place.
View towards the pedals, you can see that it covers the entire dead pedal area
Closeup to show that works with the factory twist "locks".
I'm not crazy about the huge "3D" logo but it looks like it can be removed. My plan is order a couple of replacement "Si" badges and see if I can fit them in this spot somehow.
You can also get a better idea of the "carbon fiber-esque" pattern in this shot.
Front passenger seat
This is the mat behind the driver's seat
The rear is a three piece set instead of one large piece
Closeup of the "hump" piece. Since it's a separate piece I was little worried that it wouldn't stay put. I tucked it down underneath the mats next to it and it's actually in there pretty snug. I don't think it will go anywhere but we'll see once the kids get in and out a few times.
