Get the factory winter mats and run them year round. That is what I do in all my cars.

When I bought my S430, Fletcher Jones put in a clear plastic mat that you can not tell they are there, well if they did not have Fletcher Jones in 4 inch letters you wouldn't know they were there. They are like those office mats used for desk areas with the **** on the back to lock them down. I saved them and use them for daily driving and when I want the real mat showing I take them out.

Loyds makes the clear mats. I have them in all of my cars. They take away a little from the MB mats but they really do a great job. I have purchased mine from the Mat Depot on the internet---abou $50 for the set.

I bought a set of clear mats for my LE from autoanything.com, my father bought a set earlier for his 430 so I figured I would get a set as well. I'll let you know how they are when I get them.
