Hello all,

I recently purchased some all weather mats that I havn't really seen anyone with yet, so I figured I'd do a quick write up on it.

I purchased the mats on eBay from this vendor using MS Live 30% cashback :

I went with these because I have the taupe interrior and I really didn't want black or beige mats, I wanted something in gray. I considered the clear, but was worried it would look too tacky like the clear runner in my grandparents hallway . They ended up coming out to $60.17 shipped. I figured that's pretty reasonable for custom cut mats considering that decent universal mats cost about the same.

It took about 4 days for them to arrive. I opened up the box, and there were black mats in there that didn't look like TL mats, and there were 5 of them. I checked the box and they were for G-Class Mercedes SUV. I contacted the seller and he got back to me very quickly, sent me out the new mats and told me to keep the wrong ones and do whatever I wanted with them.

So the right ones finally came. Here are some pics comparing them to the stock mats:





As you can see, they are larger in some places in comparrison to the stock mats. They aren't visible in the pictures, but it also has the holes cut in them for the hooks.

Here are some pics installed in the car:







So far, the mats are great, I did a small water test spill and the pockets hold the water pretty good.

The only cons to these are the initial smell. They STINK like rubber. I left them out on m patio for a day, and then tossed them back in the car with a bounce dryer sheet under each of the front seats, and the smell was gone before you knew it. The only other con is that I would have liked the passenger front mat to be a tad wider, but besides that, no problem.

Let me know if anyone has any questions. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the post, good info.

I don't want to rain on your parade, it does not look right. It looks like you cut them out out of found rubber on the street.

I prefer oem rubber mats.

ExactMats on ebay....clear....cant hardly notice they are even there. Basically made out of the same thick hard plastic material that office chair mats are made from....I would even say the same thing more or less. Toss em on top of your mats....you can hardly even notice them after a while...and they wipe right up.

mglax, I don't think they look bad. I would love to have Type S mats-even all weather ones, but Acura won't allow their logo to be reproduced.

I would much rather the OEM mats, but the color options annoy me. I also didn't feel like spending a ton of money on those rubber floor liners (weather-tech?) I also wish that these were a wee bit lighter shade of gray, but it is what it is.

These are acceptable but the OEM mats are much nicer to me. Weathertech is horrible and should not even be mentioned.

I got a set of the standard all weather mats at Costco when I bought my TSX a few years back. I had to cut the drivers side mat a bit to fit around the accelerator but the others fit like a glove, surprisingly and they are great. I think they were $20 and still look brand new. That reminds me, I need to change out my mats this weekend while I'm home

I have the floor liners, not the rubber mats, from Weathertech and they aren't horrible. They fit perfectly and match the OEM trim color perfectly.

Interesting pattern. Nice coin collection there.

Haha, the car is only 3 months old, so I still have people dumping their pockets of change into it for "good luck"

Weathertech floor liners are rerally good....mats fail for sure.
