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.

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.
