Default Carpeted Floor Mats: OEM or Other?

I need to get replacement floor mats for my ugly grey interior. (I will likely go black regardless of what I do)

Should I just go OEM or is there a better aftermarket alternative?

OEMs are awesome. I'd go OEM if I were to buy new carpets.... This is because I don't feel comfortable using other products that should be kept stock.

Ugly grey? With black wood?

I would argue this is the best combo.

The F Sport mats (black) are a great touch to the grey interior.

I dislike the grey interior for one reason.

I can look at it wrong and it gets dirty...

Other than that it's AWESOME. I'd love to have black/black though...

You can spend ALL DAY looking for nice floor mats online as I have!
Leaning toward the Lund VelourTex ones which you pick all your own color materials and logos and they create you a customized carpeted mat to suit your interior colors and likes!

This is the exact combo I have. I personally think it looks great and the OEM quality is the best IMHO

I love my Weathertech mats... they fit like stock and let you incert the clip to keep them in place. Weathertech would be the way to go.

I am going with Lund VelourTex custom or their Luxe model mats since I like nice thick carpet and have the ability to add a logo to it with outside stitching around whole thing.
