Replace Weathertech Mat Graphic

Anyone have a solution for this. I can have 100 "M" dome stickers made for $500... Anyone seen anything around?
Winter is closer than you think!

Are you referring to the sticker on the WeatherTech Digital Floor Liners? If so I'm interested in what it would look like.

Thinking something generic like this. But sized correctly.

Thoughts?

I'm definitely in for this. I've looked extensively and haven't found anything. The graphic you've proposed is precisely what I was hoping to find.

I'm interested. My last vehicle which was an STi had the sticker replaced with an actual one that matched the rear badge. When I say sticker I mean it was same thickness as the WeatherTech one too. Very OEM like.

I found these on aliexpess. The original "Weathertech" dome is 115mm x 30mm

You would see the black behind but most is covered. Just a thought!

^^ Those aren't too bad; I'd rather have "///M2" than just the /// or ///M
I know other companies produce these things to fill that stupid logo spot on Weathertech mats for other cars (my brother had some for his Subaru).

That said, I'm kind of upset with the Weathertech mats. The lip on the back edge is not sufficiently high to hold melted snow in there when accelerating. I end up getting salty water in the holes to the left of the seat rail, I think from where it has sloshed out of the Weathertech mat.

One trick I use is to unscrew the accelerator from the floor in late fall and lay a 12" square of plastic underneath then screw it back. This way the snow and salt that comes off your boots when you drive does get into the carpet near the pedal. I find it almost impossible to get the salt out of the carpet around the pedal....I have it all too wet vacs, steam cleaners etc. You might also try this trick in other areas...

One more thing...having lived and driven in snow for almost 40 years. I would say that if snow is getting in your car you are not "kicking off" properly. Sit down and wack you feet together outside the car and then put your feet in....We learn that early in Canada!

I definitely don't kick off as much as I should, usually because I'm freezing my ass off and/or the snow has re-frozen to my boots and no longer wants to fall off.

I like the idea around the gas pedal. I had salt around the bottom of the carpet as well as some on the weird plastic scuff pad thing on the carpet to the right of the pedal. 50-50 mix of hot water and white vinegar in a spray bottle makes quick work of road salt, but it stinks to hell while you're doing it and for a few days after. Do the vinegar mix and blot up.

My problem is at the BACK of the mat though. to the left of the driver's seat.

Not an issue for me as I will be driving the Taco in those conditions but,

+1 for kicking the snow off before you swing your feet in.

No reasonable amount of lip on back of the floor mat is going to stop the water on hard acceleration if it is "sloshing around" in the floor mat.

Final Artwork.

Should get in 10 days. Will post pics.

I'm not into making money on this will sell for $5 each plus shipping. I'm thinking that they will go in a regular envelope. So max $2 for postage....hopefully.

I’m in, let me know when they’re available. I don’t even have the mats yet but will be getting them in the fall.

How does everyone like theirs?

Will they be as thick as the OEM WeatherTech ones?
