Default Mats or Floorliners??

Just picked up an 07 last week. Would like some opinions on which look and fit better.....liners or mats. I've seen Husky and Weathertech online. Which ones look like their factory in terms of color match and fit? My interior is tan.

Thanks.

Have the Weathertech Cargo mat.

Fits well, like to protect the cargo area.

It is a quality product.

We use Lexus carpet mats in pax area.

I have a full set of the weathertechs. Front, backseat and cargo. Love them.

The fit is great and they keep looking great after a good scrub. I have had them in my last two vehicles and wouldn't mess around with another brand.

Not cheap at first, but they last.

i have the weathertechs in all our cars/truck...look great, easy to clean, color matches, that is an opinion, i have the tan in the truck with ivory interior, some like the gray mats with this to match dash color. husky's are probably as good a product, just dont look as finished.

I'm going to add to this thread...

I WeatherTech'ed my GX a few months ago Definitely some of the best money I've ever spent.

Cheers,

Haha, this could not be a more truthful statement. Weathertechs all the way!!! Wouldn't trade them for anything. Especially if you have active kids in outdoor sports.

Weather tech is the best. IMO I don't like the plastic feel under my feet and the noise of feet shuffling, you get with these mats. Since I am the only one in my car, 99% of the time, I use one rubber mat now. I cover my carpeting with the clear wrap that they use on carpeting in model homes for winter. Plus I un snap my plastic rocker covers, and cover those with plastic in winter. Save the black marks on the vinyl. With all of that said, Weather tech is the best.

I picked up a set of OEM mats that are pretty heavy duty from eBay 1.5 years back and they work fine (saved my carpet from coffee & soda spills many times).

Floor liners have sides and generally hold liquids and dirt better than floor mats. Weathertech Digital Floor liners are the best money spent if you want to preserve your factory interior. They are a must if you routinely transport kids, pets or dirty friends. End of story!

Thanks ALL.....digital floor liners it is. I hunt and fish quite a bit and sometimes these should work well with boots and muddy shoes.

Any day over the OEM ones, if you have pets and children, nothing to beat this stuff. Takes all the beating, and preserve your floor to the best.
