Re: Colorite carpet shields? (belmor)

Yes, I bought a set, which sits in my garage right now. How big are your feet? Mine are size 14 and already had a problem fitting by the pedals. The driver side insert took away about 1.5" inches of clearance down there. With the insert, my right foot was pushed so far over to the left that it was actually hitting the brake pedal AND the accelerator at the same time.
I literally had to drive with my tiptoes. On that note, I would not suggest this product to anyone that wants to drive comfortably.

:iagree: All the above I found to be correct including the "cheap carpet" comment in Matt Black's link. On the flip side, I'm not as big as Cardshark so I don't have his problem. :jester However, my carpet is "just like new" under the insert and installed in the car for a number of years So, like so many topics, it is just a matter of choice.
