Is it me or is that the hardest ******* thing to find to complete your car? I've been searching for a year for some grey floormats with no luck. I'm ready to fly to Japan and start tearing the junkyards apart there! Those custom made mats look like crap.

Go to your dealer ask if by some chance they have them. If your lucky they will.

That's a really strange thing to hear. Did you have a bad experience with Malloy or something?

I have the stock mats. I purchased the car from the first owner and he took decent care of them. However there was a small spot on the drivers side where the drivers heel had worn through. I wanted to prevent it from getting worse.

I took a set of mats out of an explorer. I snagged the drivers side/passanger side and the rear mat. I put the mat in the rear and the others in the front.

Passenger side fits awesome. Driverside is a little short. And the rear carpet looks great. It is a little long but if you curl it up the back it hides the hideous stock cheap carpet.

Good luck.
