I like the floor 81-85 floor mats I got from Mazdatrix, very good fit, and my first set lasted over twenty five years, I'm on on my second set now. They come in Burgundy, Tan, Black and Charcoal.

Thanks those look great. $50 for shipping seems a little steep! Anyone find something that fits like OEM for less?

There was a guy on the fb groups who was selling them. Not sure of quality and fit/finish but multiple owners purchased from him and I have not seen/heard of anyone complaining. ymmv

It's been a long time since I ordered anything from Mazdatrix, and you right their shipping rates will take your breath away. Won't be recommending them again anytime soon.

The "Tan" from mazdatrix is more like dark brown, not tan by todays definition.

Thanks, those look pretty decent. What is the difference between essex and cutpile?

$85 with tax and shipping for the cheaper set.

I just took a look at these at RockAuto because of this thread. The more expensive ones are much thicker and definitely have either a felt or a vinyl edge on them. Also the expensive ones mention something about having different company logos licensed, but I didn't pursue trying to get one sewn in. I think the more expensive ones are significantly nicer than the increase in price, based on the pictures. Also there are many more colors available in the expensive ones.

FWIW, has anybody found a set of cocoa mats that look good? They're super expensive but I wonder if they fit properly in our little cars.

Hi,
It was a long time ago, I bought from some company that described their product as OEM fit, custom made, or something like that. When I got the mats, they were just generic, so I took a photograph of my worn mats next to theirs to prove their bunk, and they told me to make a pattern of my mats using stiff paper or cardboard, and send it to them. I did that, and so they made mats that fit.
I'm just tossing that out as an option, FWIW.

I'm also considering ordering a set of the ACC mats and was wondering if anyone had a picture of the mats.

My brother got me these ACC Essex floor mats (P/N 9585180) from Rock Auto for Christmas. They fit pretty well, this is the 1016A red color.

They appear to fit very well. The red is very vibrant and the edging looks nice.
