Default Floor mats

I followed the advice I've seen on the forums here and opted not to get floor mats with the 2006 XA I got last week. Well, now I want to know where everyone that didn't like Scion's is getting theirs from. Links would be greatly appreciated.

I want to get something that will fit well in the XA and also will kind of match its look. I know there have got to be other people on this board with third party floor mats.

Mine has Weather Tech mats front and rear over the factory mats. Fit isn't too great on the passenger side mat, but it only leaves a small strip exposed on one side. Each mat holds lots of snow, mud, and / or water, though, and they provide great protection for the carpet.

If you are going without the factory mats, though, you have to be careful not to tear up the carpet. In my last car, I had the same mats and all of the sliding caused the car's carpet to mess up in some places. Still, it's far better then just letting everything from your boots all over the car.

One word: walmart

Picked up a set that fit quite well and are super cheap. Deep grooves to pick up the junk, etc. The plastic is soft enough to cut and customize (had to shave off a corner in the rear).

I believe they also sell the same ones at sears.

Where did you get your Weather Tech mats from? I'm not familiar with any of the stores that sell it on the Web and I'd like to buy from some place that is reputable.

Check out www.weathertech.com. As far as I know, they are the sole sellers/distributors of Weather Tech products.

i'm on my third set of factory mats at 10k. everytime they wear holes under the clutch pedal i take them back and make them replace them. i plan on doing so until i feel i've got my money's worth of those cheap things. i only got them for the logos. not worth the $120 they cost.

yeah there's a 3 year/36,000mile warranty on the whole car. you also can upgrade that to a 6 year/ 100,000 mile warranty for i think it was $720. that's what i did cause i got pretty much every accessory they had.
