What color floor mat?

My original carpet floor mats are in need of being replaced after almost 9 years or service.

I already have seen the many threads about OEM all weather vs Weather Tech mats or digital liners, but I'm pretty sure I am just going to stick with OEM carpeted mats since I don't really need the all weathers.

Anyways, I have gray interior with gray mats now. I was thinking about getting new gray mats again or getting black or charcoal mats to accent the interior but I don't know if it will be too much black. Does anyone have pics of gray interior with black mats? Even though there are tons of threads about floor mats there are pretty much no pictures.

Oh yea, does anyone have a pic of the OEM all weather mats in their car? Impossible to find a pic on this site..

If you'd like a set of used mats, I have a set in grey. I have pics on my Flickr, if you want to see them, just PM me.

I think black mats would look great to add some contrast. All-Weathers are very nice, and very easy to clean.

i like where your heads at, OP.

i would choose the weathertech floor mats, and not the digital fit ones, just the regular ones. ive had mine for 3 years and they show zero signs of wear. i find them far superior to OEM mats.

OEM all weathers reporting!

Sorry to post this one all over but it's the best photo that shows both front and back mats

Got pics of them in your car?

So now someone actually says the regular weather tech mats are better than digital liners?! Just making this choice harder..

Thanks for posting! Nice blue mats!

Now I know what the OEM's look like inside the car. I have much more gray inside mine, although I do think the blacks might accent the small areas of black I have.

I live in Boston and never said wish I had that weathertech mats

No, black mats will not be too much on gray interior because our interior is half black and half gray anyways.
Fits pretty well as you see on that picture^

If you get 9 years out of the OEM carpet then I would replace them with OEM carpet. Why bother switching? The all weather stuff is really nice to have but I personally like the carpet ones.
