Default Mats?

I really wish I would have gotten the tC floormats when I ordered my car last week. But unfortunately, I didn't see paying that much for mats, plus, I had already added like every other option and it was getting hella' expensive. Now, I'm stuck looking for mats that fit perfectly. Anyone know where I can get some that look pretty good with BSP? Also, I'd like to find a mat for the hatch area too. =)

Thanks a bunch! <3

The OEM mats are really nice... they are expensive, but if you've seen them, you can almost understand why. The front at 2 pieces, a carpeted top piece and then a rubber all-weather bottom. The rear are just regular carpet though.

They're pretty nice. You can get the set cheaper online if you want to as well. TRDSparks has them for $80 (minus the cargo mat in the trunk):

Get the carpeted Rubbermaid ones from target! they are only like $25 and a really good alternative to the stock mats. They are all black and you can trim them to fit. Trust me just go check them out, you have nothing to lose. I don't usually shop at target but im glad I did.

Bandit... whatever you want for it, seriously.

And there isn't a Target around here. The closest one is 2 hours away. I looked at Wal-Mart, and there was nothing there that I liked. I've also looked online, and I really like the original ones, and 80 bucks isn't THAT bad I don't guess. I may cave and buy them.

For those of you with your tC's already-- have you found that carpet or rubber mats work best? It gets pretty rainy around here, so I'm debating on whether carpet would even work at all.

That sucks there no target near you, your totally missing out. Im telling you, it matches the tC's interior carpet perfectly and aesthetic wise its looks really nice. Ill try to post pictures asap. plus its made by Rubbermaid, the best rubber company ever. Best of all its like 1/4 the price of the stock mats.

about the carpet issue, You can take the carpets out obviously...I went to home depot and went to their "this carpet is cheap but will last you until the end of time" section and bought like 6 feet for 13 bucks and just traced around my black carpet, cut it to fit and stuck em in and still have enough for about 2 more pairs. looks nice when you're done thanks to the edging, plus if you wanted to bring a ceratin color into your interior...thats the easy way to do it!

i'm in the same boat. i didn't want the tC carpets from the get go. i got my eyes caught on some carpets on ebay. they got an aluminum heel plate on the driver side. it's a 5 peice set for under 40 with shipping. i'm just not sure how good the carpet quality is, so i'm hesitant on getting them. has anyone got those b4?

for suck a cheap price i'm afraid it'll be some really cheap and thin carpet that moves like card board...
