Lovvvve the car, congratulations!

You didn't have to pay for that shipping did you?
Thanks! Not directly but I'm sure I did in the deal lol

I got it back yesterday, they had pinched a seal doing the job and had to re-do most of it.

I'm supposed to go get it at 3:00, just got the 560 all emptied out.

Congrats on the new car!

Normally I would say yeah mats are cheap but I'm my case they are hard to find at all and we're about $500. Hence why I think I should get a drivers all weather mat so I don't risk it

What color are your mats?
You posted interior pics but I forgot.

Yeah, grease is no good if the mats are light color.

This what my GS has.


Brown carpet mats. They were only $80. They are easy to clean and don’t show much dirt, and they match the dashboard. when I got the car it had cheap aftermarket floor mats in it.

I prefer the feeling of carpet under my feet.

All-weather mats need to be "utilitarian" to stand up to water, snow, dirt, sand etc. and still look good after getting hosed off. These look fine to me.

exactly, and thanks. don't have snow here, but the rest we sure do. since i don't drive the lc a lot, i could certainly be ok with the carpet mat though, but i find cleaning these easier than cleaning carpet.
