I dont know about that but my way to keep all weather mats clean like new is >>>> I wash them with cold water pressure, then let them dry and use armorall's dash shine thingy on them, and it makes them look like new.

How much were your TL all weather floor mats? I'm looking for the best deal and if I can purchase them off the internet other than the Acura dealership because they want $130.00

I think the standard carpet mats are cheap. Mine are showing signs of wear after 450 miles of driving. I guess my heel is resting on the mat and messing it up when I shift.

I'm going to get the all-weather mats soon.

H and A accessories

This place has the all weather mats from Acura for ~$100. I bought some items from them for my 03 Honda Accord (including slash guards, all weather floor mats and trunk trunk tray). I can't remember how much shipping ran, It was definitely cheaper the the local dealerships even with shipping.

If you find another place on line, post it up.

Mine too. My RL's mats still look new even after nearly 8 years. The TL's after a month are pretty beat.

My 96TL mats were great, like new when I traded the car for my new TL. They were so thick it was hard to bend an edge when you wanted to remove it, and they conformed to the contours of the trunk-filler cap release pod and the seat tracks. And, they didn't need those little hooks on the floor under the seat to hold the mat in place (which my dealer forgot to hook up so the mat was all over the place).

I detailed my car last Saturday, and when I took the mats out, I noticed how cheap they were also. I have decided to buy the all wheather mats so that the fabric mats will last longer.

You can also find TL mats on ebay, just search : 2004 Acura TL and you'll see there is lots of stuff for our cars on ebay.

If you do not need Acura brand try Costco they have a nice $20 set which is pretty good.

Check out ggbailey.com. Someone posted this a couple months ago, and they look pretty good. I don't have them, but they sure look better than the summer stock mats.

Try going to Home Depot. I put in black remnants over the TL mats. I do this all year round.
Just replace them every few weeks. Just a couple bucks.
It's a good feeling to know the TL mats are still clean underneath.
