happy thanksgiving (well, day after thanksgiving). am i correct in thinking that the carpet floor mats with the "c43 ///amg" stitching is no longer available? my mats are getting more than ragged, and am looking for a new set (at least the fronts).

Same, i need new front ones

i got them about a year ago i went to the stealership and they were expensive dont remember exactly how much but around 250 for all four

i figured they'd be more than the ones i found online with just the star logo and not the "c43amg" ... those were about $160. considering yours were from the stealer, seems about right. but it is amazing that the amg logo brings with it a premium of almost $100...

I think you can get quality reproductions from performanceproducts4benz.

Hmm, I thought they only offered the "star logo" ones. I'll check it out. Thanks.

maximus, did you check out performanceproducts4benz.com yet? I inquired at my local dealer here in Springfield (Elite Mercedes Benz) and the parts gal told me that the new floor mats have "AMG" embroidery, but no mention of "C43". Price was very reasonable, about $140 or so for all 4 mats.

yeah, i sent them and email and they told me that they do not have the amg c43 logos. the person i asked could be wrong, though, esp since the stock image they use on their site is just the generic star logo. maybe ill give them a call tomorrow to triple check.

Well, I may just go the OEM generic route myself and get the plain "AMG" logo mats from my dealer. The part # she gave me was: Q6680393 - black, AMG floor mats - 4pcs.

I saw a MBZ dealer that was auctioning OEM floor mats for various models including C43 AMG's on eBay several months ago, but now I can't find the listing. From the pictures they included, it looked like they had the OEM floor mats with contrasting piping around the edges.

Did you see these on EBAY http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-97-98-9...#ht_555wt_1396

Haha, not only did I see that auction, I've been watching it for several days now! I haven't made an offer to the guy because I've been checking to see who else might have an OEM set in better condition.

Looking at the pictures, that passenger side piping has seen better days due to the frayed edges...but maybe I'm being too ****.
