Clear Floormats

I was wondering if many of you get clear floormats to go over the stock ones.

I have the charcoal interior but I still don't want to mess up the carpet. I'm a bit of a neat freak, but I think we all are when it comes to our cars.

Would that be too much if I were to get clear floormats to put on top of my charcoal ones???

And if after reading the results you still want to use them, you could post over there and they could tell you the dealership that has them. I don't know, just an idea.

Yes, I did search "clear floormats" on all forums. I came up with mine and one other that didn't give me much information.

What are you finding?

EDIT: Forget it, I did a search for "Exact Mats." I don't think I want them anymore. I have charcoal interior anyways

i have the opposite view. I think the addition of the clear floormats make the interior less attractive. my dad got those on his car and I hate looking at them. but that's just me

Yes, but nothing under clear mats. I had to search Exact Mats. I wouldn't have known to search anything like that if it weren't for my cousins suggestion.

BTW, I sent you a PM.

Just use "clear" or "mat" or "rug" or....get my drift ? The only way to know to use EXACT is to know that Exact is the name of a company that makes these things before hand.

The best way is to use less words. It will give you more threads but if you use more words for the search it might skip the exact one you're looking for.

Anyway, there's a thread on how to use the search function, but I'm glad you found what you're looking for.

EXACTLY! In any case I would just have an extra set that I use when it's not raining and have the other one for "dirty days".

We're talking about an EXPENSIVE CAR here and I wouldn't put a plastic mat on mine, but that's just me...

Why buy a mat at Wal-Mart when you can use grocery bags for FREE!

No really.... spend the extra 40$ and get some real, perfectly fitting mats and were designed to do what they'Re supposed to, not just plastic covering the floor..

No sh*t!

And really, why would you want to pay for leather when you can glue your own on the vinyl for less than 50$
