Talking 05 TL All Season Mats / Parchment Interior..?

Anyone have pictures of their all season mats with the parchment interior?

I'm not sure whether to go with the carmel colored or black ones... Anyone have pictures? I haven't even been able to find pictures of the colored mats online - for the parchment interior..

Any help would be appreciated!!

To each his own, but I would go with the BLACK mats.

Sorry no pics, but I have an 05 TL NBP with parchment (Navi) and I went with the black mats to partially match my trunk tray and mostly because they will be easier to keep clean.

When I went to pick it up they had the parchment mats in the car and they looked fine. But we wanted black and haven't regretted it yet. Either color would work, but I like to think on a white car with white interior that the black mats will give it a subtle break in the white color scheme.

I went with the Weathertech tan rubber mats because I liked the match with Parchment better than the camel or black Acura winter mats. Here's a link to Weathertech's page showing the tan color in the middle. These mats are not a perfect fit. I cut around the gas pedal a bit and they fit fine. I used these mats for only 2 months before I went back to the carpet mats for the summer. In the two months I did use them, I was very happy with the amount of crud they could hold, they cleaned up easily and they show no signs of wear.

Oh, I'd post a picture but the mats are stored in the attic until November, sorry.

Well that looks a LOT better than I thought it would - still wish they had one that actually matched the parchment interior...

Next question... What are the chances of being able to purchase only the drivers side all-season mat? I don't usually travel with people anyway - so I wouldn't want to have the passenger mat for aesthetic reasons...

Sounds crazy I know... Any ideas where I can get just one? THANKS!!!

Here are 2 shots of black weathertech mats in a parchment interior. It looks much better than I thought it would.

I have to disagree. I think the caramel looks much better. I don't like it when floor mats draw attention to themselves and that's what happens when you have black mats on a parchment interior. You get in the car and one of the first thing you see is these dark mats, which'll probably be covered in salt during the winter. At least the caramel ones blend in more. I have them on my parchment interior and love them cause they don't stand out as much.

the tan looks much better, I have black interior and black mats, definitly the best investment I made, so easy to clean and keeps the original mats nice and new looking. Gor for all 4, it will look better than one mismatched one. I also got the trunck liner, also a good investment since I had a bottle of car wash in the trunk that had a hole in it. the trunk liner saved my trunk and my sanity (I would have flipped) ran under water, good as new!
