I have the tuxmat floor mats, rear seat cover, and trunk tray. They are really great. However ...

The driver side tuxmat. While I was able to get it to sit pretty flush against the firewall and not interfere with the clutch travel, The rubber reinforced portion catches on my left heel as the clutch comes out. This is unacceptable. I am experimenting with using various tapes to smooth over the rubber mats so that the shoe doesn't catch but what I ended up doing for now is using 3D brand mat for the driver side ONLY and then using tuxmat everywhere else. I talk about it here
Assuming you installed it correctly, this is a non-starter. You pay $200 for floor mats, only to have to jerry-rig it to achieve complete functionality? Have you contacted TuxMats about this?

Everyone on this thread should buy TuxMats for their cars lol. All imma say about that.
Sorry, can't do it. More power to those that like them but I can't get onboard with the look; too busy for the FL5 interior. The OEM highwall carpets offer enough protection for my needs.

Same. I can't do all weather mats of any kind, not in this car.

I enjoy my set and it sets flush and well. I got it through Amazon, But if you have an issue contact or return it through where you got it from.

I was able to source a used set of red mats locally from someone who sold their FL5 and still have my red mats BNIB!

I would agree, For now I can endure it with the TuxMat with the family, but when solo, I'll drive it in all of it's glory! (Meaning pulling the TuxMat's out and putting in a set of Red OEM mats :p)

Maybe it’s because i small small feet lol my heel never touch the mat or the floor when I engage the clutch. That does suck though!

I have the same issue but not all the time. Depends on the sneakers I wear. Size 10/10.5 for reference.

Today I installed the UK/JDM market door pattern projectors, but I have no pictures to provide because neither one seems to work. Looks like I've got a fun problem-solving session ahead of me.

Fortunately, everything that worked before I installed the projectors still works. This is a huge relief since the car threw just about every error code imaginable when I reconnected the battery and drove it around the block (hill start, brake system, lane keep assist, TPMS, adaptive cruise, steering assist... probably others that I don't remember, it was a lot). These all went away once I turned the car off then back on again. Phew.
