Parchment Interior - Black or Tan Mats?

Looking to add all weather mats to my '14 WDP/Parchment.

Curious to see what percentage of people with the parchment interior have the black OEM mats vs. the tan digital fit WeatherTechs.

Please chime in with your thoughts.

If you have pics as well, I'd love to see them.


Thanks!

Mine came with the black OEM all season mats, I replaced them with the Weather Tech tan mats that look much better and protect the carpets better, IMO. I would post a photo except the mats are doing their job, keeping the carpets clean while catching all the Great Northeast sloppy weather, so it wouldn't be a pretty picture.

Thanks.

Would appreciate a pic if you can snap one. Doesn't have to be good quality at all. I've looked all around the net and can't find how the tan mats look with the parchment. I'm thinking that's the route I want to go, but just want to make sure.

Do you have the digital fits?

And do you also sport the tan WT cargotray?

Yes, I have the digital fitted mats. I'll take some photos and post later today. I didn't get the tan cargo tray, I kept the black one from the 2011 RDX I traded in since it fit pretty good. It came with the OEM tan cargo cover that's kind of cheesy compared to the cover on the 1st generation RDX.

YMMV, but I'll never have light-colored floor mats again.

My 2002 Highlander came with very light mats to match the parchment interior, and even in southern California, they got dirty very quickly. I soon replaced them with a very dark brown custom set.

Here's some photos. The passenger photo better reflects the colors, the flash went off in the driver's side photo.

I got the whole set of weathertech tan - front , rear and cargo. I am glad I did so as we had plenty of snow/slush this year. Highly recommend.

I am a newbie here and just brought home a Forged Silver AWD RDX Tech on Valentine's Day. I just yesterday received my tan mats from Weather Tech and the wife and I think they look great. I had gray ones for our CRV that we traded and these look much better. Being a newbie I cannot post pics yet, sorry. Oh, we have Parchment interior that go very well with these mats.

I have the whole set of Weather Tech, tan color - Front / Rear / Cargo in my RDX w/Parchment. I love my Weather Techs. I didn't want to go with the black mats as the contrast was too dark for me.

I have the black factory all-weather floor mats and feel they add a nice contrast to the parchment interior.

I agree. There are already black accents in the cabin so the black mats fit right in.

Parchment leather with black all weather mats

We have the 2013 RDX with parchment leather. I also love the contrast of the black all weather mats to pick up the black accents in the vehicle. Adds a richness!! Newbie so can't post pics.
