Diamond Plates on U13s

Quick question about Diamond Plates. I'm thinking about putting them in mu U13. Are they pretty much easier to clean and remove?

Are you thinking like diamond plate floormats? If so, they're not fun in a daily driver, but for a show car, they're pretty trick. For a daily, they scratch easily, which is no good, and really don't offer much in the way of traction. If they scratch, they're difficult to polish because of the raised tread pattern.

If you're only going to rock them at shows and meets, and not when you're driving, I say go for it.

I have diamond plate floormats in my daily driver. Its not as bad as everyone is making it seem. They look really good

how bad do they look after they get all scratched up? i still want em. it'd go with my polished aluminum on black and c/f interior theme real good. otherwise its black rubber all the way.

I got mine from a member on here and mine don't look that bad. Here are some pictures.
