Question about floor mats

I'd like to buy the original Acura TL all season floor mats (part number 08P13-SEP-200). But it looks like this part number is only available in black, but I want tan/caramel. I found the one in tan (part number 08P13-SEP-221), but it says that it's for 05-06 TL and mine is 04. My question is, will these mats for 05-06 fit the 04 TL?

Thanks!

Yeah, I know that place. But I'm in Canada and don't want to pay for shipping accross the border + duties to Canada customs. A friend of mine works for an auto parts company here and he can get me those mats for pretty much the same price as on hondaacuraworld.com.

I have a WDP 05 TL with a parchment interior and caramel all-season floor mats. Here is a link to a thread where I posted pictures so you can see the comparison of the parchment vs. caramel: caramel all-season mats (post #21)

I purchased these mats at hondafloormats.com, which carries all varieties of Honda and Acura floor mats. They have good prices and excellent service. They are based in Ohio, and I'm in California, so I don't know what they'll charge you for duties and so on but it's worth contacting them to find out.

i think there is only a slight difference between 06 and 04. there was a thread about this a couple weeks ago and i think it has something to do with the holes to hook through the floor mats but thats pretty much it. you should be fine if you order it

i agree with the above poster. it will fit but it might not have the hole cut out.

Thanks for the pictures! Now I know what those mats look like in tan/caramel. My interior is camel, so they should look good as well.

I have the caramel all season mats with the camel interior. Perfect match. Why they just did not call it camel beats me

Yah, the carmel is only slightly different than the camel. But from the pics Ive seen it doesnt match the parchment nearly as well.

I added these to the other thread, but here they are again to show the difference in the 04/05 mats. You may have to cut the mats a little near the foot rest, but otherwise they will fit perfectly.

04 mat is on the top.

You're right, the caramel all-weather mats are not anywhere near a perfect match for the parchment interior. The only other choice in OEM mats is black, which I don't like at all, so caramel was really the only choice for me. (Parchment interior + black floormats = but that's just my opinion)

Another thing to consider is that a true parchment color allweather mat would show every single bit of dirt. Caramel hides at least some of it.

I'll be putting the carpet mats back in as soon as the weather gets nice again, anyway.
