Is there a difference between the 2004 and 2005/2006 floors? Acura has one set of mats for the 04 and another set of mats for the 05/06. Does anyone know why this is?

 

colors?

 

No, they have 2 part numbers (both black) listed one for 04 and the other for 05/06? Someone was saying they added more padding/noise insulation which changed the carpet pattern. I was just wondering if this was true.

 

They added a camel (or tan) color for 05, and changed the pattern a little bit. 05 is probably the same as 06.

You can see the difference in this thread.

 

good info....thanks!

Are the OEM's worth the $140-150?

 

we have them and we had a tan interior car before and the carpet over time started to look terrible. for now, we use these rubber mats and doesnt look bad. if we have somewhere nice to go, we switch them to the carpet stock ones if needed.

 

I got the All Season mats from http://www.handa-accessories.com/tl.html they fit perfectly. Cost me $100 + Shipping. The carpet mats that I had started to get dirty over time and looked very bad.

I say worth it! Go through one winter or just one month. You can see how much dirt and such that is on the rubber mats that is NOT going to be on your carpeted mats.

 

I agree. They're worth getting. I have the parchment interior and really don't feel like scrubbing the carpet or the regular floor mats after winter. The all-season ones are great in winter. They fit perfectly and are easy to clean. I never use mine other than during the winter though.

 

As Ron said they have a different cut as seen in the link he gave. Acura Of Escondido confirms this in their ebay listings for 2005-2006 all season mats "(the 05-06 have a different floor cut)! The part number is 08P13-SEP-200" .

 

If anyone wants to save a few bucks for all season mats, the 03 Accord sedan's fit perfectly in the 04 TL. The drivers mat has the same holes for the carpet attachment hooks. Thet do have "ACCORD" embossed in the rubber on the front mats though. I found this out after keeping the mats I bought for an Accord that I sold.

 

I agree, get the mats! My local dealer puts them in every car they sell... i'm sure you end up paying for them somewhere... but still, its nice

 

I got my off ebay. Great value. These things works wonders. I also recommend the trunk tray. The mats will help you through the winter months or just everyday use

 

I always have them toss in the mats when the price negotiation is done.
This time, they gave me these brown mats to match the camel interior. I used them about 2 weeks before I took them back to get black. The brown ones showed too much dirt. ( Including some shoe polish picked up from the sales persons dress shoe when he was demo-ing the nav for me when I picked it up.)
The Acura mats for my 2001 CLS fit the floow better, had higher sides, and were mad of a harder material.
The new mats are a bit softer, so dirt like shoe polish and oily gunk was very difficult to clean.

But overall, they are certainly worth the $. Especially if you live anywher but the desert. And you should always get this junk ( Matts, wheel locks , spoiler ) tossed in at the end.

When I bought the CLS they even gave me a spoiler in a box, cause I did not want one anyway. I sold it on ebay.

 

I have seen many posts about all season rubber mats and the comment I have to make is they are grossly over priced for what you get. In 1993 I bought generic all season mats and I have used the same set in every vehicle since . They show no wear and the current price is $15 for the fronts ans -$10 for the rears.

I use these year round not just in the winter. So if ya want good economical mats go this way .. if you want status .. go branded for 5 X as much.

 

I'd love to see the caramel mats with parchment interior. ANYONE?
