Hey guys, just wanted to post this thread because i wanted to know if the mats that you can get through scion are any good. My g/f's friend has a xB and has the mats and speaks that they are crap. I just wanted to get everyone else's opinion on them. If they are crap though what do you suggest i get, b/c i need something that will last me through winter. 1's that the cloth on them wont bunch up into ***** and make it impossible to vacuum them when your trying to clean your car.

thanks a lot guys.

 

I have the OEM mats for my tC. They are very nice.

 

I have them, and I like them a lot. They are good because, you can take out the carpet so it doesnt get destroyed in the winter. I also never had a problem vaccumming them as well. They are probably worth it, especially if you get a good deal on ebay and such.

 

I was ____ed when they came with my car and I couldn't do anything about it... now, a month alter, I called my dealer and apologized about making a big deal about it. They are well worth it.

 

aight cool, thx guys, cause the mats i have now...have you ever had mats that the cloth on them like thins out and then clumps up all on itself and just makes it impossible to vacuum? well thats what i have and thats what i want to avoid. If i had pictures i'd show you guys but i dont. I'm sure you all know what i mean anyway.

 

Hey CosmicScion,
Thanks for making this a topic.. seems silly at first but you know, I just got my tC on Friday and didn't get the mats since they were an extra $150 and I was planning on doing everything aftermarket. By Sunday however, after picking just a few crumbs of dirt out of my carpet (new car obsessive-compulsive personality is a reasonable defense, right?), I realized I'd just take the mats if I could get them online for cheap. I found them for $113 from some online official dealer.

Then I called my dealer about something unreleated and mentioned to him I wanted some floormats, he said the dealership sold the 4pack dual mats for only $100. wtf? Why is the option standard at $150 but 3 days later the dealer sells the same thing for $100? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about this just surprised. I'll be picking them up tomorrow.

I like 'em. I too was going OCD on the carpet part of the mats but finally just took the inserts out and only put them in for shows.

 

^ that's exactly what I do!

 

I actually got the mats and trunk mat somehow without paying for them. I didn't even lowball the dealer into giving them to me. They were in the car, but not on the invoice so I was happy.

 

 

They have them here for $79.50

Wow, that's cheap.

 

Ever since I got my tC, that's always been the price... the $80-ish price.

I think it used to be ~$75

 

50 bucks for install

 

I'll do it for $25, don't get ripped off!

 

Hey, thanks for the tip on getting them for $80, I always love having options. I looked at the shipping though and even for the no-frills UPS Ground, it'd still come out at $88.26. So, I'll just spring the extra ten bucks and pick them up tomorrow from my dealer.. again, I'm being paranoid about the dirt on my virgin carpet atm. ;)

 

they should match trdsparks! show your dealer how much it is there and you should be set!! let us know!

 

Ooo, what a great idea. I'll see if they go for it.

 

haha thanks for all the insite on the mats. I'll definately try showing my dealer what i can get em at to avoid the shipping. again thanks for the help.

 

Ok, I snagged my mats today from the dealership and though I casually mentioned that TRD was selling them for $80 online, the guy said back, "Was that with shipping?" My reply of course was, "No, it was about $88 with shipping." to which he said, "Ah, yeah." and apparently that was the end.

I shrugged and gladly paid the $105 (that's with tax and all) and put them in. Though I'm torn on whether or not I should leave out the carpet inserts for more showy times or just leave them in since I really dunno if I'll ever "show" her off anyway.
