Default floormats

I did search so I apologize if im reposting. Im trying to find the floormats that allow you to remove the carpet and leave the rubber. They are shown in the picture here. I can find them for an 04 but not an 09. I was curious if they would still fit. The pegs look like they should fit but im just being extra careful. Dont want to waste any money. Thanks in advance

They will fit from my knowledge. My buddy has an 04, and I've got an 07. No difference in floor mats. The 2010 I test drove had metal scion logos, but the hooks were in the same place. Hope that helps.

They've been discontinued, I've called a a couple of dealerships about them, I even called one in Cali that had them listed online. 2007 was the last year for them, reason why you won't see it listed any year after. I had them for my '07, had I known about this I would've kept them before trading the car in.

The floor mats on the site you linked are not going to be the all weather mats described. I called them at the number on the site and was told they have been discontinued about 3 years ago. The part number links to the regular carpeted mats, that's why the price is so low. I remember paying $171(list price) when I got them before. If you don't want the carpeted mats, I'd cancel the order if you already have placed it.

Thanks for the quick response and for checking on that for me. This site is great. So basically I just ordered the normal ones with the metal scion logos on them? if thats the case im fine. Im done lookin for them especially if they have already been discontinued. thanks again

If you try to look them up on the Accessories under the years 2008 and up they are not listed, that's why you have to search for them in the 2005-2007 years on the parts sites, check it. Either way, wherever I've called I get the same discontinued and no longer carry reply. If you wouldn't mind telling me the dealership you got your car from, you can PM that if you don't want to post it, I'll call them and ask about it.

The tC floormats have holes that go into hooks in the ground so floormats getting jammed and causing the accelerator to get stuck isnt even really a valid excuse.

i agree with you, those hooks are massive and they don't come out easily at all! best idea toyota has ever had for floor mats, 2 in 1, i would hope an aftermarket company would come up with this idea

agreed, i really like those mats but I have tried just about everywhere, and when I bought my 09 it didn't have any and in NE you definitely need them. If anyone has any im willing to pay good money for them. For now ill settle for the ones with the metal logos

Only the fronts are cool. The back ones are just crappy carpet ones so you'll be fine just getting the front 2.
