    Just wanted to get some feedback about the 2. I have a weathertech in my other vehicle. I have the old husky liner in the other vehicle. WeatherTech digifit in my other vehicle fits my fronts like a glove but the rear, there was about 1/2 to 1 in. sidie to side movement. The WT has a higher lip, more stiff rubber like material and pliable than my old husky liner -more on a plastic material with less height on the edge/lip which I don't like. Husky Liner has now come up with the weatherbeater which it claims to be made of heavy duty rubber. Has anyone tried the Husky Liner Weatherbeater? They are less expensive than the WT. $95 for a set front and rear.

    I had a set of WeatherTech for about two months. And then they started to fail. Got them to warranty the set and then sold the replacement set. Got some Husky Liners. Cheaper and better quality. After six months, no problems.

    Yes, Weatherbeater. I don't have any pictures. Just look on ebay "husky liner weatherbeater". I got the beige/tan color. No problems.

    I couldn't believe how crappy the WeatherTech were. I was very disappointed.

    With the Husky Liners, you never hear me complain. For me, its not about price, its about quality.

    Paid over $200 for just the front and rear for my CRV.:( Does it have a raised edge or lip same or higher than the WT? Does the husky WB go farther under the front seats for the rear liners? With my WT for my CRV, I've noticed that the rear liners does not go farther under the front seats. :(

    Husky for the front and rear. WT for the cargo area. 100% happy with this combo.

    The Gen II version, which I have is nearly identical to the Gen III version.

    Everything looks nearly the same (see the PapaGallo pics).

    I use the tan carpet in the cargo (from Toyota, with "Prius" embroidered across the center). About $40 on eBay.

    I paid under $100 for the front and rear set.

    Have a '12 Prius III. I want to order the Husky mats for my car but they do not show a 2012 Prius only a 2011. I know Toyota changed the position of the locking holes for the mats so the 2011 is different then the 2012 models. The Husky does not use the locking holes so that would not matter. Is the cut-out or shape of the 2012 floor pan the same as a 2011? Can I use a 2011 Husky mat in a 2012?

    I went with the Weather Tech in the front because of the hook holes. Put the Husky in the cargo area, everything GREAT!

    Just bought the HuskyLiners, front, back and trunk in grey from StreetsSide. Great price, good color, great product, tight fit. I ordered on a Sunday, gave me confirm and tracking info and they arrive on Wednesday. Just watch out of the sharp nubs as you reach into the box and every time you dump the grit off of them!! (You'll eventually learn) I read all the WeatherTech vs Husky battles and own 2 sets of WeatherTech. The design flaw in the WeatherTech is the anchor holes that do allow some moisture to leak thru and the sides are not as high as the Husky product. I like the way the Husky liner has a high dead pedal cover, no holes and the nubs (generally) hold them in place. The gas filler release is now exposed. The material is not quite is heavy as the WT and I like that as the WT has taken a weird set on a couple of the corners therefore over time does not fit as tight. Either way both good products, but I couldn't beat the price of $155! After all, the Prius is still a CAR. Join the just drive it tour! PS. The trunk liner is SO worth it. Protects from corner to corner so you can put that greasy gas can in the back for your neighbor's gas hog....

    Need to sell my 5 day old OEM weather mats before I buy the cargo liners. Saw some pictures of the cargo liner from one of the members here and looks great. My front and rears will be here tomorrow per FedEx tracking number. :)

    I save the oem mats for trade in time. You will get way more for your trade in value than what you get by selling them.Then you can sell the used linners.

    Got my WB installed today. No need to take out the anchors. Just turn the anchors around backward and works just fine with no problems.
