Default What aftermarket floor mats are you using?

When I bought my GS it didn't have any floor mats so I bought so cheap ones off of eBay. Well, got what I paid for. They work but they are pretty thin and move around a bit when I vacuum them and they also seem to hold things like little grass pieces harder than normal. It makes keeping them clean a PITA.

Now, I know I could get some OEM brand ones but I've seen those everywhere from $90 - $120 for the set. I didn't really want to spend that kind of money on the car for just floor mats. The car is for my 16 yr old son and I want to make the car decent but it's going to be up to him to work and spend his own money making it nicer if he decides to do that. Kind of the reason why I just bought the cheap floor mats in the first place but I really like the GS and it bugs me on the quality of they ones I initially bought.

I found these that look like they are fairly decent but I can't really tell the quality and there are no reviews. Thoughts?

Why not go to a junkyard and pick up a set of factory floor mats? They'll be cheap there

sounds like you're stepping over a dollar to pick up a nickel. Spend the extra $45 and buy a new set of oem mats. That way you're good for years to come. I bought an oem set from eBay. Didn't think twice.

I would be all over that but for that price my guess is they weren't OEM or there is something else wrong with them. If you look at the link I posted from eBay they look like OEM but aren't for $43.

Aside from OEM, DragInt.com has some badass checkered mats. Great price too!

OEM run about $100 on eBay.

myLparts.com offer's a CL discount. Just enter CL5 at checkout. They are a vendor here on the forums.

My black OEM floor mats even at 147k miles are in great condition even with winter salt/slush and summer weather. I would not recommend else or you may end up paying double in the long run.

I found these cool JDM style checkered mats that fit like OEM. I put them on top of my original sport design mats to save them from getting any more worn.
