Hey guys i was thinking about getting these floor mats they seem to be really quality. I was wondering if anyone has gotten these and could tell me about them. I just didn't want to ruin the factory floor mats. Also if there are any other brands that people have that they would recommend I would be glad to hear them..Thanks

Factory floor mats suck, esp for the price. Got my basic floor mats from Costco, only $20. May not fit as precisely as the factory ones, but does the job. Also got the sheepskin seat covers. For winter, will probably get the rubber winter floor mats from Costco for another $20. Sure beats the price of the factory mats.

Went to Home Depot or you local hardward store and purchased carpet runner it has raised panels and rubber backing. Also come gray that matches factory carpet great. Used to factory mat as templates for parterns they fit purfectly over the factory mats when I go to shows I just remove them and ny factory mast still look brand new Cost $20.00

Has anybody used the weather techs? Are they really "better" than the ones you can buy at Wal-mart? And if so, how?

I currently have stock carpeted ones and they keep getting ____ty after I surf with water and sand. I can only imagine how they will look when winter hits!!

Just ordered a full set of Weather techs. Ouch! Way pricey. These puppies better be worth it.

i have the weathertech on my xa. believe it or not but i bought them originally back in 1990 for my '89 mercedes 300e and have done their duty for most of my cars. they last and very durable. you can tell because each front mat is very heavy. they have no crack and not worn.

yes they are expensive but have served well on most of my car for 16 years!!!!

They were one of the first things I got for my box. They're pretty heavy duty. I'd recommend them. I don't know how winters are by you, but rubber mats are a must for Chicago winters.

Agreed...

SO metro and burstaneurysm, do you guys have Weathertechs or just plain rubber?

Jhhnn

I've owned weathertechs in the past, and they really are very good at containing muck and gravel, and are almost indestructible.

Arguably the best utility floormats available. I'd say the choice between them and the cheaper imitations comes down to how well you want them to fit, and how long you plan on keeping the car. If that's a long time, then get the weathertechs and never look back...

I have the WeatherTech ones... They were just over 100 bucks. The quality is immediately noticable, very heavy rubber.

I got my weather teachs the other day. The fronts are good. The Driver side is not long enough to protect the rug from my clutch, but that was expected.

The rear mats were a bit disappointing. I knew I would need to cut them, but they still dont fit. the one side is kinda flipped up.

Not sure they were worth 111$.

BozzMan

how well do the fronts fit? are they a custom fit or just close?

burstaneurysm

They aren't custom, but they're pretty close.
