Weathertech floor mats are well worth the expense. Perfect fit.
The Subaru all-weather floor mats are junk now. I've been using the factory rubber mats on multiple Subarus ever since I had a 99 2.5RS and they were great. The coverage on the new ones is severely limited and as shown in this video, all the dust, dirt, and debris collects all around them, especially up and behind the pedals. They used to be nice and thick and heavy with deep grooves to catch debris. Now they are quite thin and flimsy. They are very easy to remove and clean but TuxMat and / or Weather Tech mats give you way more complete coverage and actually keep your carpets clean.
Agreed, but I still find with TM and WT that their driver's side floor mats do not cover nearly high enough up & to the right of the gas pedal.
I agree with the new Subaru all weather floor mats being junk. The passenger side front mat never stays put and thus is useless. The ones in the back as well as the drivers side allow for too much stuff to get past them. To be honest, have not tried weather tech or any other mat, but something has to be better than these.
I experienced this with my 2015 impreza, so I went with TuxMats for my 2020 outback. I LOVE the way they cover up the sides way higher and since they're not just pure rubber, they're not prone to warping or cracking. I have much cleaner carpets than I did with the subaru mats.
The cargo mat and seat back protectors I still think the OEM are best because of fit. I got the wheel covers and those only work with the OEM.
@@Django44 I just got tuxmats for my outback and the driver's side goes up as high as it can because of the dash.
@@mandar66 Me too. I have the Tux Mats all throughout the front and rear seats. The protection is far superior to the OEM rubber and I really like the look. The fit is not 1000% perfect, especially in the back but with all the velcro and clips they give you, it's fairly seamless to tie it all in.
The OEM mats in the rear cargo area are great. I've never seen the offerings from TuxMat or WT back there but I have all the OEM stuff: seat back protectors, wheel well covers, and cargo mat and have zero issues with any of them.
I recommend the Subaru Pet Rear Door Protectors as well. We have them and love how the thick, semi-rigid panels protect the doors from scratches by our dogs and also prevent them from accidently activating the windows or door lock.
Hey Subaru - make these plastic liners taller and cheaper. We should have a choice of carpet or plastic. There should be no need to pay for something that doesn’t fit the lifestyle of the customer. Especially that S makes outdoor cars 😂❤
I would love to see the whole floor to be plastic, not carpet 😂❤
I would add a full glass screen protector for the Infotainment center. The screen protector costs 20 bucks on Amazon, (several brans to choose from and easy to install and looks great). Replacing the screen through Subaru if it cracks, scratches or stains costs 1500 bucks. Easy decision.
I replaced all floor mats with tuxmats, they cover all the exposed fabric. Best money spent on the car so far.
Heard so much about them, I wish they were selling worldwide.
I'm ok with Subaru mats, but quite often in snowy weather snow does get to carpet below mats, especially in second row, so I wish I had better floor mats.
I have them in my OBW, love them!!!
I'm about to get my next Subie, after a 40 year hiatus from my last Brat. This was helpful in fine- tuning my purchase choices.
Pretty pumped about this.
The front all-weather floor liners supplied by Subaru are not very good. The passenger side in my 2024 Outback does not stay in place. Probably an easy fix though.
There is, buy the Weathertech liners.
The slipping front passenger mat has been going on since ‘16, probably up and down the lineup. I’ve got a Forester and an Impreza, both ’16s, and the front mats slip too. Either new owners haven’t noticed by the 90-day mark or they keep forgetting to report it on their 90-day ownership survey.
Buying an aftermarket one shouldn’t be the answer, especially since it’s been a complaint since ‘16.
TuxMats are superior! The coverage is amazing and they are just as easy to clean.
A rain visor is a nice accessory
Another great pet accessory is the cover for the back seat. My dog is a back seat rider and I buckle her in with a car harness. The back seat cover is great for those occasions when she tracks mud and sand into the car or she gets a bit car sick. I have a Kurgo one in my Crosstrek and it doesn't quite fit, so I'm thinking of getting the Subaru one instead.
Also my favorite car harness for dogs is the Ruffwear. I have a big Bernedoodle and it fits her great. Very easy to use.
Don't go with Subaru floor mats. The fronts let dirt behind them. Weather tech or something like it are much better and keep your vehicle cleaner
Weather Tech's new floor mats are WAY better than anything Subaru offers. Use velcro for the seat back protectors. Those straps look ridiculous. The "studs"needed to hook up the cargo net aren't normally installed. Unless you have the dealer install them, you'll have to drill holes in your car. And something he didn't cover are the splash guards or mud flaps. Forget the ones Subaru offers. They're too short. Everything just gets flung underneath them. Again, Weather Tech is better.
Tux Mats are FAR superior to OEM or even Weather Tech. They're not pure rubber, so they don't warp or crack.
The studs are a simple install. Takes less then 5 minutes. It's just plastic you have to drill. Cutting the templet took me longer.
My husband and I really enjoyed your video. I don't know how to put my favourites into my contacts. Can you share a video on the Subaru phone?
Merci Alex ! Toujours intéressant
Auto dimming side mirrors are an item I wish I bought installed. They were a bit finicky to add myself but ultimately it's been great having them.
I wish I got those instead of the useless wireless charger that was barely charging my phone and would just heat it up.
I had the auto dimming mirrors in my Saab so I knew I needed them. Easy to change out once the first side was installed. I agree that the charger is unless, particularly if you have the phone in a case.
Thanks, love your dog! I immediately switched to weathertechs and RuffTough dog crates for my Forester.
The hitch receiver also has a 7 pin?? I didn't know that! I'm going to have to take another look at mine...
Alex you are the best in the business and have helped me more times than you know. But oh my please clean your car❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗 only saying it with love ☺️
Thank you! It definitely needs it, I'll give you that! 😂
@@alexpmo Hi Alex thanks for the response. I have a 2022 Subaru Forester and I am so OCD with my car. Would you believe there isn't a piece of lint anywhere. Looks like it just came out of the show room ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰 just love my car❤️❤️
Do you know anything about a Class Action Suite against Subaru - regarding the Outback 2020-2021 years regarding eyesight malfunction? I have a 2020. Just read some short blurb… need to know more.
I am wating on one for the CCU. Mine since new thought it was 2044.... after the software recall update it would not take any updates. Had 3 dealers try to update it underwarenty no go. Now it's out of warenty. SoA never would cover changing out the CCU. Now it's out of warenty and it crashes every 4 hours while driving.
@@Wrang15 I would have thought the warranty would have to be extended until they fix the issue.
@@mmsnbc9118 not that I know of.
I got the all weather mats, the rear cargo mat, and the trailer hitch. I need that rear bumper cover thingy! I noticed mine is scratching up after only a few weeks.
Great job, thanks, I just told my friend about your site as she too now owns a Subaru
Wish the front passenger floor liner had hooks to keep it in place like the drivers side. Get tired of having to keep sliding it back every time someone gets in or gets out.
I’d put reflective strips on the bike rack.
I can't believe they expect you to drill into your vehicle if you want to install the cargo net yourself. They should have included the knobs at the factory.
The problem with the rear seat protectors is that they strap on around the posts of the head rests. Since I NEVER have anyone in my back seat (I always keep the headrests in the car just in case), I take them off for better rear window visibility. Then the rear seat protectors can't be used.
When I bought the rear seat protector they came with velcro and a double sided tape. And I just stick them on the back of the seats. I don't even need the strap that goes around the head rest. Maybe try this if it helps :)
The Subaru rubber floor liners are crap. Mine fell apart after 12 months.
Get after market ones.
What I've done so far to make my '21 Outback Touring XT just a little bit better and more livable on a daily basis:
1.) Autostop Eliminator.
2.) Neatly wrapped the Driver Focus sensor in matte vinyl. The flashing red sensor was driving me absolutely bonkers at night.
3.) A cheap, fake carbon fiber cover for the piano black around the shifter from Amazon, painted matte black.
4.) Weathertech liners.
5.) Just arrived, but not installed- rear sway bar reinforcements and a CVT anti-wobble insert from Anderson Design Fabrication. Will be tackling those this weekend.
6.) Replaced the trash Yokohamas with a set of Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3s.
These mods have taken a very good car and made it even better. Next up with be an STI flexible front strut tower brace and MAYBE a Perrin pitch stop mount.
The real "5 have must accessories" , the recommendations in the vid were just too basic 😆
purchased a second spacer cup holder since off the lot it only has one spacer.
I recently found your channel while researching the Outback Wilderness. We just bought an Ascent for my wife, and that’s when I learned about the Outback Wilderness Your reviews have really sold me on the Outback Wilderness, and now I’m debating whether to purchase a 2025 now, or waiting until spring for the 2026. Do you have any timeline to when Subaru might announce the changes to the 2026, or what the changes will be? Keep up the great videos. Thank you
Can you put a trailer hitch on a2024 suburu forester sport?
Well, don’t I feel smart? I ordered my 2022 Crosstrek with all these accessories except the Thule bike rack. The only disappointment was the hitch had to be installed after vehicle delivery, and the part was back ordered. It took three months to get it. Maybe that was part of the supply chain issues back then, though.
Not crazy about towing with a CVT transmission.
Most people use this hitch for the bike racks but you can tow with them. With limitations of course. Anywhere from 1500-3500 lbs towing capabilities depending on the model and engine.
@@alexpmofull size spare also
@@alexpmo very true about the bike racks👍
@@alexpmo unfortunately the dealership can't install the 7pin hitch wiring for the Forrester Wilderness, so you can't use the full towing capacity without aftermarket addon
Once your over 1k per Subaru you have to use a trailer with brakes. Its a Pain to install a 7 pin and stick brakes on some trailers. My state law is trailers over 3k have to have brakes, so sub 3k gvw trailers are sold without brakes.
On the cargo net, for my 2023 Outback Limited, I had to drill holes and install the mounts. There was a web site that I was supposed to go to to get the installation instructions along with a template to show you where to drill, but the template wasn't there. I ended up getting a copy of the template from the dealer when I took it in for an oil change.
I bought a 2024 Legacy. They sold me a trailer hitch but had to return my money. They said Subaru does not offer a hitch for the legacy.
Oh, that’s odd! You’d think a dealer would know it’s not set up for towing. I can see people using it to mount a bike rack but technically it’s not set up for towing anything.
@@alexpmo I am sorry, but are you telling me that a Legacy cannot be used for towing. That was a specific requirement when I bought this car. Before this I had a Ford Focus that I towed with and kept it for 220,000 miles.
I keep moving my side cargo nets from my older cars when I get a new one, not sure if they even make them anymore!
WEATHER TECH went into MY NEW FORESTER 🙌 as unfortunately the Subaru stock ones R NOT very good at all let alone the coverage BUT considering the AMAZING VALUE & GREAT CAR they produce so thats what matters MOST 4 myself....so get yiur WEATHER TECH....then B dang LUCKY U own a SUBARU ❤🎉 as I AM 😊🎉❤
I was thinking about, when I buy my new Subaru, I would go from the dealership to the Diamond coat store and an undercoat place (Krown). Any comments/recommendations?
Where do you put dashcams in Subaru's.
I put mine just below the black shaded area behind the rear-view mirror. Just make sure that the camera doesn't interfere with your Eye-Sight cameras. You can easily test that.
Thanks for sharing! Cool shirt! I'm like... obsessed with wildlife photography!
Is there any company that sells a NON GLARE matte finished protector for the radio/display center on a 2024 outback touring
I got one for my Outback 2023. From the company called SCREENPROTECH. I got the Anti-Glare Film and I love it. You just have to take some time to install it.
Just a note: The Anti-Glare film makes your screen a bit blurry/fuzzy. It gets a bit better after a week or so, but just to warn you and save you a freak out :D I got used to it after a week or two :)
@@MarionFreyburger yes, there are companies on Amazon that sell them. Haven’t personally used them though so can’t speak on the quality
@@barcelona19981 thanks for the product info.
@@barcelona19981 thanks for the product info.
I just got an IPad screen protector and put it on my 2024 cross trek
I bought the 2” hitch for the bike rack. It didn’t come with a hitch cover/plug. Is it supposed to or is it up to the dealer?
@@maryparson1224 as far as I know it should come with it. It can be purchased separately if not
The Subaru mats do not have a big enough lip. I immediately switched to Weathertech. I put the bumper guard on my 2024 Outback Limited XT. My 2019 Outback Premium came with the bumper guard. You would think the 2024 Limited trim level would have came with it. An accessory I also bought for both of my Outbacks was the OEM door trim. Bought online from Subaru for $100 less than my local dealership. Paid them $50 to install it. As always thanks for the GREAT VIDEOS!
A quick search on Amazon and I found A few inexpensive upgrades that brought my 2015 Outback a little more up to date.
LED interior lighting kit
Puddle lights that display the Outback name with mountains
A simple plastic divider for the center console
And a tough hard plastic bumper Cover with simple peel.and stick attachment method
I like the net, I'll have to look into that one.
Thanks for the video, well done.
The cargo net is awesome for putting grocery bags in. Can’t believe they make bike racks without lights.
I am unclear why would anyone ever trade in or sell an Outback? I switched from Toyota and drove 3 of those 250+, the Subaru better get at least that or I will be very disappointed
Off topic, but here goes. I have a '24 Subaru Crosstrek Sport and began having issues with the front window auto-return not working. My dealer said the sensor in the door panel is quite sensitive and that it was my aftermarket window tinting causing the issue. This ever happen to you, Alex?
Haven't heard of the window tinting interfering. I've had aftermarket tint on mine going on two years now and haven't had any issues with it. The sensor can also be reset by rolling the window down and then rolling it back up. But when you roll it back up, continue holding the switch up for 4-5 seconds. That should reset it!
@@alexpmo Awesome, Alex...thanks!
I replaced the all-weather floor liners in my 2024 Outback with WeatherTech liners. While I appreciate the ones that came with the Subaru, the WeatherTech liners cover much more area and rise higher all around. As a result, I have much less debris spillover than that shown here. The Subaru’s are better than floor mats, but the WeatherTech takes the trophy for the all-weather design, IMHO.
Hi Alex, I have a video suggestion: we have a 2024 Wilderness Outback. Would you please make a video of all the headlight possibilities? There are two dials and I am unsure what all the options are. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you🚙
Alex - really appreciate your posts. I have a 2023 OB limited. Is there a way to just have the attractive DRL on without having the main head lights on. Seems to hat you can’t with the newer models. Thanks, Andy in SLC, Utah
Great video. I have everything except the cargo net which I should get because I’ve almost lost a few things when opening the hatch!! Also I just learned from someone that just bought a 2024 Forester. She ordered a ‘25 Forester but they don’t make a hitch for that and because of the foot thing that opens it, would be in the way of the hitch? I have an Outback with the hand wave opening feature which I really like.
My 2020 Outback came with the Subaru all-weather floor mats installed by the dealer, as well as the carpeted mats in their plastic bags (where they still are.) I immediately switched to WeatherTech. They are superior to the factory offering in almost every regard. The factory cargo area mat I left in place. It's serviceable, if not ideal.
Great video Alex. Quick question if you dont mind. I have a 2022 Prius and recently got a flat which was annoying since the car does not have a spare. Would you know if owners are buying a donut tire and would it fit neatly under the carpeting hatch? I appreciate any insight. Thanks again!
Hi Alex, I have a Forester (picked up 11/2023) and I only recently received my Bike Rack and had everything installed. ATM I am leaving it on the car, but reversing causes a permanent alarm. Do you have a suggested to mute the reverse alarm?
I have to agree with others, the new so-called all-weather mats are too flimsy, I replaced all the mats and cargo liner with the 'Smartliner Maxliners since I didn't feel like paying for the Weather-Techs. They are much thicker, excellent coverage, and look good!
I just bought a 2022 Outback limited XT and although generally I love it I’m having a problem with the infotainment system and I’m reading that many people are having the same problem. The audio will sometimes make a really loud bass noise (I mean like I thought something had exploded near me) and then the sound just stops and there is no audio (inducing warning chimes) the only way to get it back is to shut the car off for 10-15 minutes (just turning the screen off doesn’t work) any ideas about what to do for that problem
Both my 2016 Legacy and my 2023 Ascent were ordered by the dealer from the factory with the All Weather floor mats (Or they were part of a "Popular Package") as they are on the window sticker. The carpet mats are under a bed never having been used. When I lived in Illinois I ended up getting Weathertech floor liners for the Legacy because I found the All Weather mats inadequate during the winter. I had 3 kids in back, and the uncovered carpet on the tunnel would get crusty from road salt brough in on shoes which was not the case with one piece WeatherTech mat covering the whole floor. It also did a better job for the driver going up on the left foot rest and underneath the accelerator pedal. The all weather are fine for my Ascent as I rarely drive in snow. I wish the Ascent just included the trailer hitch from the factory as standard - I was considering it just to have it until I learned what the dealer would charge to install it. I tried to see if it was something I could do, but removing the bumper cover on a brand new vehicle was not something I wanted to do. I only got the rear seat protectors for the back of the third row in the Ascent - I don't think they look that good and would not want them visible on the back of the captains chairs. It's fine when they are in the cargo area. They weren't mentioned but getting cross bars and a Thule cargo box are nice to have with the Ascent so you can hold 6 or 7 people and their luggage. I also covered the cross bars with cut foam pool noodles and moved a king size metal head board. I also got an aftermarket cargo net on Amazon which was 1/2 the price and seems as good as the Subaru net.
Super glad that the info on the dual deploy of the cargo net is helping! Extra bonus is that when I have both nets deployed, there's just enough room between the vertical one and the tailgate of my Forester to place my grocery shopping and trap it in. (I'm usually shopping for one. More than that, it probably would work.) I've been getting to LEX for work and keep thinking I'm in the right town to say hi but realize I'm not.
I wish the passenger side had the holes in the mats
I have a 2018 outback limited I did upgrade to the weathertech floor mats, I do have the back seat cargo covers the cargo net is extremely nice I wish I had that one, I do have the bumper cover, I also have the subaru hitch it's a great add on I bought the 3.6 I wanted just a bit more power over my old 2.5
I didn’t get a bumper cover for my forester touring it had a small scratch so I got a bumper cover off eBay. It is a definite need if you are carrying stuff in the back.👍
I would like to have a snorkel for the Forester, I have a 2022 and sometimes I feel afraid to go through rivers. I want one to develop specific for the Forester and not a generic one or created in a workshop.
My 23 WRX all weather floor, seat back, & trunk mats are garbage. They are better than nothing but not even close to the quality of Weathertech I’ve had in other vehicles.
I also recommend the hood protector. I have no chips on my hood after a year of driving including in snow
The little accent light above the wireless charger in crosstrek, is there a way to turn that off??
Can you tell me how to turn off Rear Automatic Braking? My driveway slopes down, and about half the time I back out, the stupid 2023 Outback slams on the brakes as I approach the bottom of the drive -- I fear whiplash injury! Thanks!
Here's a short video to show you how to turn it off. The example in the video is with a Forester but the on/off switch is in the same spot on the touch screen. Just put it in reverse to see the screen and tab on "RAB" th-cam.com/users/shortsNlxnZeAFL0s?si=x575b9NTPD7Kt_9i
@@alexpmo That worked! Just sent you a little tip... Thanks Much!
I agree. The mats are flimsy. Weather tech is worth the money
I purchased custom made canvas seat cover for my forester to help protect the seat from spills, etc. Only problem is they get hot during ther summer, cold during winter and also loose items tend to slide about.
Too bad no more STI , current WRX 🤮 suckssss .
I got my Mom 20 Forester, I usually buy accessories
What is the the percentage of tint on your Subaru?
@@Bigstevesmb 20%
Thanks
Hello Alex - I have a question - hope you can help me - I have a 2024 Crosstrek and I put in about 9000 miles so far - I have been noticing that the gears are changing as if I was driving a stick shift - I know that mode is available by shifting the lever to the left - but its happening while the car is on automatic - is that a mal function? thanks
@@Kaimo1 the CVT transmission mimics gears even when in auto mode. You can also still use the paddle shifters intermittently while in auto. It upshifts for you unlike manual mode, which doesn’t.
Thank you _ I love my Crosstrek car and I am glad with your answer
@@Kaimo1 That how the Subaru "Lineartronic" CVT works. It has simulated gear shifting. It's kind of strange but it sounds like it's functioning as intended
@Kaimo1 I have noticed the same on my 2024 crosstrek
I appreciate this, but can somebody please send a link about the exact cargo mat that Alex is using? It is very confusing to try to find this on Amazon I looked in the comments but I didn’t see one so my apologies if it is there
These are OEM Subaru accessories so they won't be available on Amazon. You can get them at any Subaru retailer or online. Simply google the year, make, model, and "OEM cargo mats" That should help you find them!
Always great videos and infomation! Thanks! German Shorthaired Pointers Rule!
She's a handful but we love her!
Great video Alex! From the Forester perspective I always get: Subaru Sun Shield which folds nicely and is made to fit. Not just for sun, people can’t see anything inside of interest. Yes Subaru OEM Hitch! Front hood deflector. Side window deflectors so you can crack windows and not get rain and snow inside (learned about them while living in Wisconsin). Rear seat protectors. Cargo Cover and rear Cargo Net. After delivery I get the windows tinted (aftermarket) as here in New Mexico they keep my Crystal Green Silica Premium Forster quite cool for the pup and passengers, and no interstate tan on long summer road trips. Not “equipment” per se but the upgraded My Subaru for $5 a month is a great value! Cheers, Michael Albuquerque NM USA,
Thanks Michael!
bike rack 👍👍👍
Alex. I think you covered this but c@n I disabled my extra fob to leave in car for a spare? I just purchased a 2025 forester sport. This trim also has the programmable hatch to gain access?
Yes! Just have to put it in sleep mode first. On the key fob, just click the lock and double click unlock button at the same time. Then to wake it back up just click any button
Is that a Wilderness? What exactly is the an Onyx? Thanks.
The wilderness is the more off-road version. It gets the all-terrain tires, small lift in the suspension, standard turbo engine, heavier duty roof rails, and a few other odds and ends. The onyx is basically just the upgraded premium trim with startex (synthetic leather interior) instead of the cloth like in the premium. The onyx also gets an appearance upgrade with the black window frames, mirrors, wheels, and badges. You have the option for the turbo in the Onyx too but mine is the standard 2.5 non-turbo.
@@alexpmo thanks. Great explanation. Nice ride.
Hi Alex, 2 time Crosstrek Limited owner here. First (2020) had the rear bumper guard. 2024 doesn't. Should i order the guard, can I install this or is this a dealer install only? Enjoying your videos for years. You are a great ambassador for Subaru. All the best! "The JJ", SW Penna.
The dealer can install it for your but they will likely charge labor for it. I've installed many myself and it's easy to install, but also easy to mess up if you don't get it lined up perfectly. I need to do a video showing how it's done!
@@alexpmo Thanks, Alex, for the speedy reply.
I like the single speed gravel bike. Do you remember in 2008 when Fuji made the Subaru bicycle?
Didn’t know they did that!
@@alexpmo as a matter of fact, over the years many bicycle manufacturer brands re-branded their bicycles as a “sales pitch” to Subaru and used to display them in their show rooms to help sell their accessories.
A Subaru salesmen with a VW in the garage. My, my. Why doesn't Subaru sell their cars with the hitch from the factory? I read that you have to buy them separate and have them installed. Do not like the plug facing down, if for some reason it comes out, you not only don't have lights, but you will mess up the plug dragging on the ground.
@@earlribaudo4807 yes lol, vw kid at heart. At least with the older mk4 gen.
Not sure why they don’t sell them with the hitch but my guess is because of cost. If they sold it with it, it would increase the cost. Although the majority of people want it, those who don’t would be forced into paying more for something they may never use.
@@alexpmo Maybe they should on higher trim levels like Limited or Touring? I recommended that on a survey I took after purchasing my '23 Ascent Limited with Tech Pkg. The incremental cost to install it on the line while it is being assembled would have to be minimal compared to at the dealership where they need to do things like removing and reattaching bumper covers for the Ascent.
👍👍👍👍👍
The weather mats are a step better than what Subaru used to have, but someone must be doing some research because mostSubaru owners will go to WeatherTech since they have a much higher side that actually keeps out more elements and salt off of the carpet. I wish that subaru had their weather mats more like that.
@@martinr8278 I like the older Subaru rubber mats way better than the new ones. Either way, the ones Subaru sells now are basically useless in comparison to WeatherTech or TuxMat.
My recently purchased Outback came with Weathertech liners.
Huh. I've owned 5 Subies (4 new, 1 used) over the years. Some of this is BS, none of this is of any value whatsoever in the terms of "need". Adios
What video? It's frozen
Man your car is filthy. And what’s up with the VW in the garage as the second car? Finally all those floor mat accessories should be free, I got mine thrown in at no charge - lots of cars sitting in dealer inventory…,,,,
Alex, I see by your shirt that you are a member of a Nature Preserve and Protect Club. I am an avid hunter and think your shirt is going to cause some customers to turn around and leave. I completely understand you have the freedom to wear what you like. If I purchased a vehicle from your dealership, it would not be from you.
Weathertech are the best floor liners. I have them in my Subaru Outback and my Toyota Tacoma .
Screw subaru.
