I just purchased some all weather floor mats for my TL. Gotta make sure i don't mess up the stock floor mats since theres suppose to be a snow storm tonight up here in the Northeast

 

I bought the all season floor mats when I bought my 03 TL-S. They work well and I like knowing that the carpet is being spared all the debris that ends up coming off shoes, boots, etc. that eventually would find it's way around the stock mats. I just pull mine out and rinse under the sink to get really clean. Also, having the original stock mats in perfect condition is a visual plus when it comes time to sell or trade-in.

 

I just put my all season mats in my 04 TL tonight, preparing for this coming weather in the Northeast. I hope they work. I'm curious to know what happens to the water when it hits the rubber mats, the water doesn't roll off into the carpet of the car, right?

 

ahah yeah i was wondering where the water goes....? I hope it doesn't leak onto the stock floor mats

 

I bought all-season floor mats when I got my TL new (in September). The floor mats that came with my car are in the basement for the winter. The driver side front mat is a pain to get on and off the hooks and that is where you will probably get the most water, etc. during the winter. I keep an old towel in the trunk and mop up the water before it seeps onto the carpet.

 

Hey do these all season floor mats only come in black??? How does that look with the camel interior???

I put my ungly black rubber mats in last week while my regular mats are cozy and warm in my basement!

 

I made the dealer throw in the all-season. I've never used the carpet ones.

 

I'm down in Texas so there's no snow . But I do however have some clear matts over the stock carpet ones.

 

 

i am bgood, all season mats come in a tannish color that will match your camel interrior better, check your local autozone or in the back of car and driver magazine usually theres ads for them, ebay may have them too, just do a search for all-season mats

 

my TL came with All Season mats for free

 

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I keep my all-weather mats in all the time.

 

I bought the all weather mats a couple of months ago when we started getting rain in SoCal. They seem to work great down here, but don't know how they would hold up with snow. The rain doesn't stick to the bottom of my shoes like snow would

 

Does Acura have all-season mats that match the Parchment interior? I wish they made clear ones too.

 

They now come in Camel to match the Parchment and tan interior. . . Just ordered them this week . .

 

you should, autozone does hav good mats!!! i bought all season 'nos' mats from there for 20$$ for my dad's birthday and they fit the tl perfectly!!! ots blue, white and mostly black.....

 

Is that from Acura?

I checked out the Acura Camel mats, and thought they looked too brown. I went with the black mats. With a camel interior the black mats contrast nicely with the black dash material.

 

Haven't seen the Acura ones up close ... but based on their pic on the website the mat just looks thin and cheap. (might just be a bad pic) But it seems like you are just paying for the label on the mat rather than the quality itself. My Jeeps Auto Trak all-season mats look better than those do. Are they even worth buying from Acura or should I go for the Auto Trak ones?

~ B.Good

 

IMO they are not thin at all, they feel very sturdy. Unless the 04 and 05 all season mats are different, I think they are worth it.

 

So are you happy with your car choice or would you rather go G35 now?

 

I got the all-season black floor mats as soon as I got my TL and have been using them ever since, the stock mats are sitting in my house as pristine as when I got them. Definitely advise using all-season mats year-round.

 

Haven't gotten it yet ... ordered it a few weeks back ... its gonna be here late February. I'll let you know when it gets in.

In upstate NY all weather mats are a must. The last couple of days, the weather was completely insane. The TL held pretty well in the snow and sub zero temps (with four new Falken ZIEX 512).

 

MY car has a tan interior and I just bought the black mats for the winter. They hold up really well and IMHO look alot better than the all season mats (to me, the plastic mats look cheap). I just switch out to the tan ones in the summer when there is much less dirt and grime that can get on them. Both sets look perfect after two pretty bad winters. I am also the type of person that kicks my feet together before I get into the car. I will also intentionally walk through a nice clean puddle to get mud off my feet before I get into my car. I would rather the mats get wet than get wet AND dirty!! Ya, i'm strange!!!

 

SRRY for the small pic; its from my camera phone... im a novice at posting pics.... here's our 'nos' mats

 

I bought the new camel color rubber mats from Acura and have the parchment interior. The color is not an exact match but I think they look good. They are not thin at all. I agree with a previous post that they are a pain to get over the drivers side hooks because they are so thick.

One day after I cleaned the car and put the carpet mats back in I stepped into some dog crap and did not realize it for about half a mile. I put the rubber mats back in and had a detail shop clean the mat for me. I will use the rubbber mats much more than the carpet from now on.

I have not posted a pic before but will try to get a picture for you to see if you can live with the color.

 

We purchased the Grey Kraco All-Weather Mats from Costco for $20 http://www.kraco.com/products-2500.htm http://www.kraco.com/products-2510.htm as an interim solution until the all-weather mats could be purchased.

However, after being installed in our SSM with Ebony Interior, it does not look bad at all and we decided that the all-season mats would not be necessary.

 

I have the Parchment interior and got the caramel mats and they look great. Putting black mats in a tan interior just draws too much attention to the floor mats. I would rather they not be that obvious.

 

Hey, i got the same gray floor mats from Costco too. I have a SSM with quartz interior. How did you get the driver side mat to fit????? The pedal gets in the way.

 

I purchased the camel mats for my '05 TL $139. I'm taking them back I can get a WalMart mat in a lighter shade to better match (parchment interior) and it has deeper ridges and a more pronouced lip to trap water for $7.99! Acura price is a rip off. Walmart also has a set of 4 mats in camel, for like $25.00 that looks better than the TL mats. The Acura mats would be nice for around $40.00. But for those who just have to have that TL logo on their mats . . . go for the Acura mats.

 

Thanks, I was waiting for someone to post some pics of the different colors.

I cut the top 1/3 and now it fits flush with the bottom of the accelerator pedal...We live in Northern CA and the weather is fairly good so I'm not too worried about water accumulating in the mats as I am about staining the OEM Mats with mud and dirt.

I took that top 1/3 portion and put it on top of the driveline hump in between the front and back seats...and that fits fairly well too...

I'll try to get around to taking pics and posting them...We've only had it for a few days...

Can anyone recommend a good place in Southern California to pick up a set (of 4) of the all-weather mats? So far people are saying Costco for the Kraco mats and AutoZone for stock mats, both around $20. Which ones are better? I have ebony interior.

Any other places worth considering?

 

hey orayakab, yeah pics would be awesome. Thanks!! I was just thinking of cutting around the gas pedal since the rest of the mat fits fine.

 

Wal*Mart has a super mat (sold separately) with deep ribs and a hefty water lip around the edge. Comes in gray, black, camel and clear for around $8 each (fronts) rears were $8 for both. You will need to cut out a small section around the gas port lever and a slit to slid around the gas pedal. Other wise the fit GREAT - Look great - and most of trap all mud/snow/water AND the ridges are deep enough that your footwear is held above all the goop.
PS It is shown as a SUV mat but it works just fine in our TLs
PSS You might have to visit a few stores to find them and I'm in CT so don't know availability in other states.

 

Here is my first attempt to posting pics. I think the mats look better in person. The flash in the photos make the color difference look greater than in person in my opinion. I think the Acura mats are the best bet. No need to buy other brands that have to be cut so they can fit. I ordered mine thru www.curryacura.com they have the best prices on accessories than anywhere else I can find. They are also great to deal with. Hope this posting picture thing works and that it is helpful when making a decision on which mats to buy.
