Are custom-fit floor liners worth it over universal mats?

For most owners, yes. Across owner-forum threads and specialist subreddits like r/crv and r/f150, the consensus is that laser-scanned custom liners (WeatherTech, LASFIT, Husky) cover more of the footwell sidewalls and stay in place better than trim-to-fit universal mats. Universal mats remain a reasonable budget option for older vehicles or secondary cars where you don't want to spend $200+.
