Automobile accessories, kits, and methods of use. An automobile accessory is a heel guard that can be applied to a floor and/or a floor mat within an interior of an automobile such as a car, a truck, a van, a bus, and the like. The heel guard may be secured to the floor and/or the floor mat to provide a layer of protection between the driver's shoe or foot and the floor and/or floor mat. The heel guard prevents damage to these surfaces due to friction produced by movement of the driver's foot during operation of the foot pedals of the automobile.
