What IS that module / hump under the passenger side floor? I did not peel the carpet back far enough because I didn't want to have to fight to put it back.

A cool thing to do when its all wet muddy or snowy is:
Take out your floor mats, flip them over and put them on the opposite sides of the car
The oposite side is rubber and the knobbys that keep them from sliding around will hold a LOT of mud. & its easy to hose off.
Just a suggestion in the interm if your planning to get different mats.

I know this is an old thread but I'm really interested in getting some diamond plate floor mats. I remember the first time I saw the diamond plate floor mats. It was at HIN and I saw a killer WRX with it. I think it's a great mod cuz not only does it look good but it's much easier to get sand from the beach off of it.
So if anyone has any follow up from looking into getting some fabricated or if there are some existing ones that would fit please leave the info.
A quick note... I think it has been mentioned before... metal isn't so good when your shoes are wet and slippery or muddy and, uh, slippery.
Anyway, just a note. I know many people don't care about use-ability and go straight to appearance. Metal may look kinda cool, but may be kinda dangerous, too.
Just something to think about. :cool:
Thanks for the input Dallas. I figure come winter time I will either remove the diamond plate or put my all weather mats over them. So the only concern would be extreme rainy days or weeks like we in the midwest are currently enduring. I plan on it being more of a summertime mod.
That is the weirdest thing I have ever heard about. Metal mats??? I don't even want to think what might happen in an accident.
Pep Boys has Metal looking floormats. They come in Red or Blue ans I think Silver. They actually look like metal. But, they are not for me...maybe somebody else
I've had the diamond plate floor mats in two different cars. They looked sweet, but rain, slush, ect are bad, your feet slip off the gas and brake as there is nowhere to dry your feet off. I do like the look though!
I'll just treat my VX like the rare supercar it is and only drive it on nice sunny days. Here in Michigan that means maybe 3 weeks out of the year.
I found this but of course no VX listing.

Not all mods and accesories are for everyone. If you don't like something that's great we all have our own tastes. But I don't see any reason to be a dick about it.
WOW! Lets try to keep this civilized. Nothing wrong with having a little fun... personally, I can't speak for anyone else on this board, but I was more concern about your safety, but if this MOD IS for YOU, then go ahead, you don't have to listen to anyone at all, just go with your instincts...
Life is too short to live angry!
sorry ........ not trying to be offensive ....
.
just trying to keep it light ....... have some fun ..........
.
blame it on the comment:
'Here in Michigan that means maybe 3 weeks out of the year' ....
reminds me of Western PA weather .......
.
and speaking of metal ...... or diamond plate ........ I am actually familiar with diamond plate *floors* ..... not mats, but the actual floors .... years ago, we had a few jeeps and a Scout that had diamond plate floor plates installed .............
.
funny how things have changed - I don't think any of those Jeeps or the Scout ever had a floor mat .... rubber or carpet ...... did they even use carpet floor mats in the 60's ? ..........
floor mats? who needs floor mats?
mats are just extra weight....
