I liked them for all those reasons (flexible placement vs. stock, multiple ways to attach items)
If you are going to haul SUPs and you were hoping to put padding on them - you might want to see if it will fit. My Kuat quick release mounts for my fly rod holder just couldn’t get around them...
So far it just appears to be marketing spin without any actual follow up. Here is a catalog of aftermarket accessories that you can overpay your dealer for when they become available in 5-10 years.
I do like the OEM mats for every day use but have found that even if I kick off snow (and mud which I don’t care as much about) I get enough water on them that when I drive hills the water finds its way to the carpet. I will try the suggested camp towel first.

I am curious if those who have had steel bumpers in the past have run into rust problems.
