I just put a deposit on a new TL (black with quarts, Auto with Navi).

I couldn't get the dealer to throw in the all season floor mats or the trunk tray.

I don't want to get ripped off by a dealer. The local dealer's prices are:
Floor Mats: $97
Trunk Tray: $75

This same dealer has an Ebay store, where the trunk tray is $55 (plus shipping).

Anyone know where I could get these (new) for cheap?

Since the same dealer is selling it on ebay, why dont you just email the dealer to see if you can pick it up instead of having it shipped. You don't have to mention you're buying a car from them. This way you get it at $55 and no shipping charges.

Are these good prices? Anyone know where to get them cheaper???

The dealer prices already look pretty competitive considering they are a dealer. My dealer wouldn't budge below list. You can try and hammer the dealer a bit more. In the end those prices seem fair compared to what I have seen.

East Coast ?
You might check http://www.curryacura.com/frameset.h...rts_center.htm. If you get enough stuff it is free shipping. Check out the "Protection Package" if you want mud guards too. They have an ebay store as well.

West Coast ?
Check http://www.handa-accessories.com/ to see there stuff.

That is a hard core dealer.
I had them thrown in, ( matts and trunk tray, and splash gaurds and wheel locks ) I always do it the same way, get to the price I will buy at, and when they send in the closer, I tell them that the thaht the deal is done when they throw in that cheap stuff.

I just took the Camel colored mats back to get black ones, ( the Camel ones show every heal mark ) and he gave me blacks and offered to let me keep the camels as well.
Maybe it helped that the first mark on the mats came from the heal of his dress shoe when he was sitting in the shotgun seat doing a demo of the nav.

Yeah, the dealer that has the Ebay store is Curry Acura. I actually live like 5 miles from them so I could pick it up no problem.

Another side question......I am getting a Black with Quartz leather TL. Would the black all season mats look good with the quartz interior??? The sample quartz interior I saw only had carpeted mats in it. Or should I just get generic aftemarket mats in gray?

Fit is everthing with mats. If you want to save a few bucks to get mats that don't fit, ride up (since they don't clip to the floor) and then don't cover as well that's your choice. I keep a car for a good long time. $100 on a set of 4 mats that fit right is a no brainer to me when split out over the number of years I have the car. Anything aftermarket that is made to fit the TL specifically will be pretty close to that $100 price as well.

See these http://www.weathertech.com/store/veh...pt_choice_id=0

They will probably fit well and may outperform the Acura mats but they aren't saving much if you go for all 4 mats. To be fair I haven't "pawed" the Acura mats so I have no idea how thick, rubbery or flexable they are.

PS. Ever had a cheap floor mat get caught up in the brake and clutch pedals because they don't fit just quite right? I have. Trust me, it sucks. Get the right mats and don't look back.

Oh yeah, I want to get the Acura floor mats.....I'm just concerned they won't look right since I am getting the Quartz interior.

Anyone else have the quartz interior with the black floor mats? Does it look good?

I have an Anthracite with Quartz interior and the black all-weather mats. Looks fine. I got no beef with it.

The price on the mats is pretty good. I got mine through a friend at employee pricing for $90 plus tax. The dealerships cost is like $80 and they list them for around $135. I didn't bother getting the trunk tray right now. I didn't really like that it was like a silicone versus a rubber mat. I don't really want things sliding around and they seemed like they would with this mat.

Do you have any pictures of your interior by any chance? I'd love to see how the black mats look on gray carpeting....

DO a google search or try www.mats.com I have ebony...dont have any pics and I went with the All-season from the dealer...best choice I ever made, very good thick quality,no rubber smell and perfect fit...

Do not buy the weathertech mats!!!!!!!! I have used them for years in all my other cars and love them. But I just sent back a set for my 05 Tl. The drivers mat doesnt fit at all, not even close!!. On the door side it was four inches to short of reaching the dead pedal and an inch or so short of the gas tank opener(thats alot of area to drip on come rainy season. On the throttle side of the mat it laid on the pedal about three inches. Some of their mats you cut to fit but the drivers mat is not set up this way it is just completely wrong for an 05. Just a warning dont bother

I have the Quartz interior with black Acura floor mats (bought them on-line through Curry Acura in Scarsdale, NY). The mats looks great, since the Quartz interior is a combination of black, grey and silver/aluminum. No regrets at all...

Masta120

Cool......I think you guys have helped me decide......I'm going to go with the Acura all season mats....

Yeah, I'll post some when I get home.

If you want the Ferrari of mats, go to cocomats.com I purchased a full set of custom front, rear and trunk, hand woven mats. They're designed to fit our '05 TL like a condom. I'm still waiting on shipping and will have pictures when they arrive. Bought them after seeing them on my friend's SMG M3, instantly fell in love with them. I don't do any mods on the outside of my car but I like to pimp the inside for comfort and asthetic.
