Yes, I am very frugal (read: cheap) and opted not to get the $145 floor mats set from the dealer. The thin-ness, size and quality of the stock mats just didn't justify the $145 price tag.

I just picked up a pretty sweet 4 piece set from Walmart. "Premium, Durable rubber and velour capet with non-slip backing" (71051 BLACK) for ~$20. The carpet on these mats are THICK. Not to mention the back seat rugs aren't little squares. They actually fill up the whole back seat floor area.

Now, I am looking to get the cargo carpet for the trunk. I haven't got the chance to see the stock ones in person. Does anyone have a picture of the trunk mat that they can share?

How's the quality, thickness and size?

Does it fit the whole trunk/cargo area (custom shaped)?

...or am I better off getting a generic rectangular one from Target?

I was thinking about picking one up from McGeorge's for $32. Just wanted some opinions.

 

I dont have one yet so I can tell u. Where are u in the Bay? Maybe we can get a meet going.

 

I would suggest getting the one from McGeorges. It says scion on it. The thickness is average. It is a basic mat. Nothing too special but it does fit the hatch area because it has the same shape.
You did know that if you had ordered the mats with your car they are covered under the warranty. Several people have worn them out and had them replaced. Just something to think about.

 

stock cargo mat is thicker than floor mat inserts..also has cut outs for the tie-down buckles and scion logo..pretty basic...cheap way to go would be to measure cargo area and go to a carpet store and buy a piece of durable carpet..then cut it yourself..i'm doing this for the floor mats while i have the carpet section out for the winter..going to buy a piece of black heavy traffic carpet for a few bucks and use the stocks as stencils.

 

Sounds good.

I think I'll get the factory cargo mat.

Hmmm... are they still giving away those $50 gift cards for financing through TFS? How long does it take to get it?

 

the current trunk is already carpeted, it's really not necessary to get another carpet for that.

 

The cargo cover is nice to get if you have pets or haul stuff from time to time. It fits over the top of the rear seat (under the headrests) so it covers the entire area. I just take it off and shake it out when it gets dirty.

 

i think he is talking about the cargo mat..not cover..pretty sure the cover is standard on all tC's

 

I don't think the cargo cover is standard. And if it is, I surely got ripped off. Heck, I was told the cargo net and floor mats were standard. Sure weren't standard when I bought my car.

 

the cover is standard.....mat isn't....

 

This is what I used to put on top of my OEM floor mats. Purchased from Wally World (Wal-Mart). These are the door mats that you use in front of the entry door of your house.

 

haha nice man..not even the ones for a car

 

Oh, got it. I was thinking of the cargo LINER. too many terms.
