I found some on eBay, these are the ones I have, it's not all weathe though, it's carpet material.
Floor Mats

I bought mine from College Hills Honda when they were cheaper, but I would shop around. Its cheaper from actual Honda parts dealers online even with shipping.

Oh yeah, those are the high wall mats, they were an option you could get.

As others have said, those are the optional high wall floor mats. The red one should come standard with the car. I ordered the high wall floor mats the first week to protect the red carpet better. I just put the high wall floor mats over the red floor mats, so I'm double matted

I just looked and the OE tire now goes for over $300 Holy cow - It was in the low $200 last year!

Just a heads up. Your speedometer will not be as accurate with 275/35s. Will likely be off by about 3 to 4 mph due to the size increase.
So when the speedometer shows 80, you’re actually going 84mph. If not a big deal, fine. But I’m the OCD guy and would need to recalibrate my Speedo if I did larger tires.

And how is the speedometer recalibrated if I may ask?

There’s no “speedometer healer” made for this platform, but this below linked thread states you can do it via a custom tune on the Hondata FlashPro.

I had a custom dakota speedometer adjustment unit for my si which had aftermarket gears. I'm sure he could get something to adjust it actually.

I'll just remember to go 4 mph slower lol

The unit was cool. It tapped right into the signal wire from the speed sensor in the transmission. You could connect to it via Bluetooth and adjust on the fly. I had it ran into the cabin and tucked it under my dash.

OEM PS4S can be purchased directly from Honda for around $200 per tire. They last a long time on the street.

Honda part number: 42751-MIC-174

If you ever go that route, please do post pictures and feedback. Since the stock OE tires are pretty much at normal prices now and are no longer "super cheap", my excuses to stick with it has gone away. I may try 275/30 on my next set.

How long do stock tires last? Im almost at 20k miles.
Next fun thing I have to do is oil change. I want to do it myself but did that on my FG2 once then said ef this lol

It varies all over the places. Most says they don't last very long, but some says they're able to eck out over 25k. If you're at 20k and still have plenty of tread life left, I would suspect it must have been replaced at one point? My car is approaching 8k and the front still have about 6/32 of tread depth remaining.

I'll measure the tread depth too. You may be right on the tire change.

Mine are at ~10k miles on them and I'm about halfway through them. Like xmetal said, the mileage people get out of them varies but I think 20k is the average.
