I just think they look like crap. Plus sometimes when I am on long drives I kick off my sandals and drive baefoot. That would hurt getting into that car and driving after it has been in the parking lot all day. Shit I'd burn the hell out of my feet.

Dont get em,
Evan

Can you imagine the scratching noises of having sand or rocks stuck in the tread of your shoes and scraping on those things? Awful. I'm cringing just thinking about it.

Yeah, that's probably just a generic product photo where they say, "Item pictured may not be exactly the item described."

I wouldn't put those on my CL...or any other cars. There's no purpose to them. They are gaudy as hell! It just makes the car look cheap...like you can't afford factory floormats.

Actually, they dont get hot or cold...But if anyone decides they want them...The best thing to do is make them yourselves...There are none that are custom to our cars...Even the ones that say they are don't fit unless you cut and bend them some more...

Best bet is to take your old ones and trim, cut, and bend them yourselves out of a sheet...Cheaper and more custom...

umm...I would say a depot place would have them...I don't think you'll find a single sheet for two but you should be able to find a sheet for each...Also, another good hint...

Don't make one for the rear...There is a hump that I'm sure you've seen back there and it sits like a seasaw more then a floor mat...

I'm still thinking about having a rock or sand under my feet while I drive - just thinking about the scratching/scraping noise is making me cringe. They'd look pretty sweet on the back corners of our bumpers, though...

I think they look stupid and belong in a go cart, not a CL. We have nice carpeting for a reason, why cover it up with an industrial grade heavy duty material?

I have to apologize - somtimes my sarcasm isn't quite as apparent as it should be.

It would be pretty funny looking to see them on one as if the CL was a Wrangler or something... A brush guard would be a nice touch too.

lol, yea probably...

They maybe a bit flashy and they do make your interior stand out extremly well but it isn't worth the money spent and labor to keep them clean...

There is no scratching sound or heat/cold from them...but just not worth the money...
