Husky Floor Mats: To Protect & Serve

One of the most competitive product categories in the world of automotive accessories is floor mats. It’s not so much even a bitter competition between brands, it’s more of a race to see which company can convince the floor mat buying public that it is not worth their time to go with a generic name for their mats. Because after all, that’s the real battle floor mat manufacturers are faced with: Indifference. There are many drivers (perhaps millions and millions and millions of them) who do not pay a ton of attention to the floors of their vehicles unless something happens to it. And to compound the situation when they look for floor mats, most of the time they are looking at places like Sears and AutoZone for cheaper replacement mats. How does one name-brand outshine another when the majority of consumers who can use their product are otherwise indifferent to their quality? 

Husky Liners doesn’t even worry about that, as this floor mat manufacturer keeps it simple. Husky offers a versatile lineup of different floor mats and cargo liners for every contemporary vehicle on the road. Husky gets through to consumers because the brand doesn’t over-market their product. Husky Liners Car Liners and Floor Mats are made for one key reason – to provide outstanding protection for the inside of your car. That’s it, there isn’t a whole lot more to say. You won’t find countless ads and an overuse of terms to describe their floor mats. Instead, what you will find is a description of how each different type of mat works, what it is made of, and if it’s a fit for your car, truck, or SUV (chances are, it is).



Another key aspect to Husky is their application of cargo liners. Husky Liners Cargo Liners have become an extremely popular item for SUV drivers in recent years. The reason is because unlike floor mats, cargo liners are responsible for keeping a vast amount of space clean and protected. The problem is other floor mat companies that produce cargo liners all seem to have a common problem – their liners ride up on the sides and near the hatch of the vehicle. This is a problem because not only does it create space, but it can also play in role in the shifting of cargo during travel. Husky Cargo Liners don’t have this issue due to the brand’s patented “Form-fit Edge”, which is actually designed (and custom-fit to each specific vehicle) to provide a close perimeter around the cargo area as opposed to just cover it. These cargo liners have certainly made their presence felt inside the floor mat industry and there is no sign of them slowing down anytime soon.

Husky Liners car floor mats are becoming very popular with luxury car drivers. For years and years, luxury car owners preferred custom carpet mats as opposed to rubberized floor mats. That would make sense, since the idea for a luxury car is to have comfort and elegance, to promote an upscale appearance. But what those of us in the automotive world are learning is that more and more luxury car buyers have shown a higher interest in protection than softer comfort. That is why Husky Liners Weatherbeater Floor Mats are now recognized as one of the most widely-used car floor mats around. The reasoning behind this is very simple. Husky Liners WeatherBeater Floor Mats are laser-scanned to ensure an absolutely precise OEM-quality fit for every make/model. And since they are designed with Husky’s own special rubberized compound, these drivers know they can depend on the level of security these mats provide for their vehicle’s carpet. At this point, many in the luxury car buying public would rather have sturdy protection and clean floors than a soft, cushy surface to rest their feet.

Husky Liners Car Liners is an interesting brand responsible for producing elite-quality floor mats for every driver’s needs. It really doesn’t make a difference if you drive a big, tough Ford F-350 or cruise around in a Chrysler 300, your interior floor is not a place you want to become a disaster. Leave it to Husky Liners – they will take care of your car, truck, or SUV with interior protection you will be proud of.

DC Sports Promises High Performance Quality & Results

DC Sports is an interesting company. Founded by twin brothers Darrell and Darrick Contreras, DC during its inception was akin to a mad scientist’s lab. Not that it was all experimental, because the parts the Contreras brothers were trying to improve upon were already in existence (by and large). What made the early days of DC so unique is that both Darrell and Darrick were highly intelligent, motivated individuals. The reason this is unique is pretty easy – when passion is the ambition there can be no failure. This wasn’t a startup with dollars in its eyes and a bubble to burst. The Contreras siblings had a mission, and that was to develop high-performance parts for sports compact cars that would make a difference both on the track and on the street. But in order for that to happen, Darrick and Darrell had to know what they were doing and moreover, prove it to others.

Once enough buzz was generated, DC started building a following and their level of respect within the industry began to grow. The pivotal moment for DC Sports was in 1987, when they were approached by American Honda to design and build a header for the 1988 Honda CRX competition car. The header was a hit, the company was formed, and next thing they knew, DC was developing additional products for other models in the Honda lineup. It’s a different story, an interesting one. Which makes where DC Sports stands in the auto industry today even more compelling.

Nowadays, DC Sports is one of the big boys when it comes to high performance parts and accessories. The eclectic mix of drivers into DC Sports gear is like going to a Chili Peppers concert – you see people of all backgrounds there. But with that being said, DC Sports is known for churning out performance car accessories geared more towards a competitive segment. After all, soccer moms aren’t usually on the market for strut bars or cold air intake systems. But there is more than one reason DC Sports has such a solid reputation (being under the Pilot Automotive banner doesn’t hurt, certainly). DC doesn’t skimp. They don’t manufacture products out of “metal” or double-welded aluminum. For all of their products that require meaningful structural fortitude, DC Sports goes with stainless steel. Look at their lineup of headers. All of their headers and exhaust workups use stainless steel and are CNC-machined. That may not seem like a big deal, you may even expect it out of that kind of product line, but consider this: There are plenty of foreign companies pulling the proverbial wool over consumer’s eyes with cheap metal exhausts spray-painted with chrome. It happens all the time.



But as much as we can talk about the type of materials the company uses to construct their lineup, it all comes down to how their gear actually performs. DC Sports exhaust headers are among the leaders for competitive drivers and serious customizers to the point where there is almost a cult. Drivers are loyal to the DC Sports and that is quite a compliment given the amount of competition the brand has. And it’s not just exhaust headers. DC Sports Strut Bars and Chassis Braces are also perennial hot items. The best part is, none of this is a coincidence. When you have a company constantly attempting to improve upon what it already does as good or better than everyone else you are always going to see results.

At UltraRev, we hear from drivers all over the globe. We keep our ears to the ground to see what people like, what they are talking about, and who they trust. Pilot Automotive and DC Sports seem to always pop up. That is why we are happy to carry their products. DC Sports performance car accessories like exhaust headers, mufflers, strut bars, and cold air intake systems are an important fabric to the driving public (especially all the racers out there). If hitting the road with greater intensity is your goal and you want sincere quality to back it up, UltraRev has the DC Sports performance parts to get you where you want to go.
