Wow nice to see some review of 3D mat glory. This is the car mat I want to buy but unfortunately not available for my car. I just bought kamatto because of the lower price. Wanted to buy dodomat at first but I didn’t want to spend more money in case 3dmats come out with my model in 6-12 months time. Luckily I didn’t after reading the above review about the heel pad.
Kamatto ok, fit also ok. The stitching around the mat seems senget sikit on some of the mats but acceptable. No smell. Didnt slide around and I lay them on top of my original mats. Feels like hard plastic material but not that hard.
I wish can find TPE bucket style mats from China but can’t find RHD version.

Never bought any named brand mat. Dodomat, Trapo, etc.
Used coil mat for years. Got bad experience with it. One day i was cleaning my car after rainy season so naturally the mats was damp than usual. So i took out the mats and put it under the harsh sun light for half and hour like that. When i went back, surprisingly i saw few mini cockroaches came out from the mat crevices. Fucking hell i straight threw it away, went to nearest Mr DIY and bought myself cheapo cut-yourself-to-fit universal rubber mat for less than RM50. Never look back since then. Practical and durable AF.
Waiting for new car right now. Honestly not really keen on spending few hundreds ringgit on premium mat although it looks really good. Doesn't offer anything new. Better spend it on dashcam or whatever.

Am newbie on car mats. Do you overlay the new 3rd party mat like Trapo on existing car mat OR remove existing car mat and only use the new 3rd party car mat?

Depending on your budget & requirement. For me if for cheap local cars, i will just go for normal cheap mat from Kamatto or Trapo Eco series. Higher range like SUV/Premium sedan rides - Enzo or Trapo Classic series Trapo got 1 advantage is driver side got extra padding for shoes/feet to lay on, compare to Kamatto & Enzo just mat only.

Trapo mats are designed to fit into your car without existing floor mat. They come with velcro strips at the corners. Over time as u remove to clean and reinstall, you will find your car floor carpet to have Carpet hairs coming out as the Velcro will pull it. The trapo hex is better as it comes with many mini Velcro throughout the bottom part which are less harsh on the car floor. I had a Mazda 3 and the trapo mats also have those nubs that fit into your existing car floor nubs to hold it in place. They design it to correctly fit your car.

Saw dodo and trapo but didn't like dual layers. Prefer simple, one layer so I don't have to clean twice and maintain to many things. Went for 3D Mats Kagu series. In terms of texture, it's like a piece of cardboard, doesnt change shape. IT's a perfect fit to your car. I will put the Kagu Mat on top of my original mat provided by manufacturer and still fits perfectly and doesn't move. It's waterproof, so during rainy days, the water doesn't sip through. Also, fairly easy to clean especially dust and dirt. Quite durable, the mat still looking brand new after 2 years.

I'm also curious on how the expensive car mat fares nowadays. I got my Trapo mat when they first started in the early days. There is no velco below but some kind of spiked netting to grab on the carpet below. Mat still moves a bit but better than nothing.
But one thing I'm not sure if it still happens for the recent version, my car always parked under the hot sun so the interior can get very hot until some of my plastic cards can get deformed. So, since the top of the mat is made out of foam like material, it kinda shrinks a bit under the heat after a long time. The bottom layer which is the net like plastic material which doesn't shrink easily. This ended up the whole mat curved upwards a bit like a u-shape. Still works fine but doesn't look very pretty at the edge of the mat though.

Bro, is it worth to get the basic model Eco for Trapo mat ? QUOTE(EnergyAnalyst @ Nov 9 2023, 11:35 AM) Been using 3 sets from Trapo for 3 cars so far, I would say it is worth my money overall. Modern cars have better fit, older car get less coverage because of the way older car floors are designed

I can't recall which series I have bought but all I am saying is 2 purchases I am happy customer, one time only satisfactory because it was previous gen for an older car, and the fitting for 1st gen for older car not so perfect because of the smaller floor area for older car whereby the edges are always "uncoverable" because of the way they protrude

QUOTE(constant_weight @ Mar 29 2022, 01:02 PM) I don't think they are considered high end car mat? Trapo and Dodomat are relatively cheap, only 200+, most good rubber mat without plastic smell like Ecomat are around this price also. Even more expensive Trapo Hex also 400+ only. High end mat is like 3D Mat. They are easy to take care. The sands mostly trapped, it is very effective. I don't really wash, simply pour the sands away. It is easier to clean than the curly hair rubber mat that little stones tends to get stuck. The drawback is the dirts will be exposed, whereas curly hair rubber mat hide the dirts even if you don't clean them for a year. Carpet mat is very hard to take care in Malaysia especially rainy days. Had to agree on this.. its quite expensive but you get what you pay.. easy to clean, durable, lightweight, and most of all its follow the floor curve..

I am using 3D KAGU mat and overall I am satisfied. Fits great on my Bezza and easy to clean. The only complain I have is the mat length is kinda short and did not fully cover to the front of foot rest.
