Personally I wouldn't mess with one as it would make things a bit more difficult to get in the trunk. Plus you would probably still end up with scratches along the sides assuming you haul anything in the back.

The scratches are annoying, and I really feel Honda dropped the ball on it as I ended up with scratches the very first night I had the truck because of sliding some stuff around. In the end though after I wiped off some tears I have continued to slide and haul things around and just learned to deal with it. Granted a bed mat would help a lot, but I don't feel it would be worth the hassle of the trunk, and plus with how easy the truck scratches I think you would still end up with some no matter what you do.

The bed is made out of a synthetic material so you don't have to worry about rust or nothing. The scratches are just a stupid cosmetic issue most of us have learned to live with.

 

Oh and with that said for the truck bed, I did get one of those liners for my trunk and have been quite happy with it.. Makes it easier to cleanup the trunk since most things will stay on the mat so you can just lift it out and shake it clean.

 

wow I looked at all the pics for this product, looks really nice appears to fit very well seems a little pricey but if i did not have a bed matt already I would have bought this for my ridge.

 

There are several threads over the past few years on bed mats.

here's one from 2007.

I just bought the Elemmats off of a ROC member. I really like them and it makes it a heck of lot easier to keep the trunk clean. They are very heavy duty also. These will keep the scatches out of the trunk hands down. Good luck with your purchase and choice.

 

I have the trunk Elemmat liners and like 'em. Keeps stuff back there quiet and makes the trunk easier to clean.

I don't like the bed scratches either, but anything impeding access to the trunk (use it all the time) would be a pain.

Anyone found a good touch up for the bed?

After reading over all of the posts in the earlier threads about the elemmats and the protecta liners, I am still leaning towards the full set of elemmats, at least the trunk liners and the bed liner, not so sure on the tailgate protector as of yet. I don't mind buying quality one bit, even at a higher cost. I'm going to do a little more research before I pull the trigger on anything yet, keep the opinions coming if you've got them! Thanks.

 

Just used my Elemmat yesterday. Went to the Home Depot to pick up landscaping materials. Keeps everything in place and is very durable.

 

I've got the entire set in my RL and they fit and work great.
