Default Clear Mat Protectors from Walmart? Good fit?

the exact mats are @50 so i figure i might try cheapo walmart mats, but I'm not sure how good they'll fit the stock mat shape

Yeah, but i expected this when i bought the car. I got it anyway since i simply loved the look of cashmere with the wood trim. Very lux looking IMO.

It does look great... But just too hard for me to keep clean. Props for your bravery.

Does the smell dissipate?

Yea, I just left it out on my deck to air it. The smell doesn't completely go away but it's real subtle. All I smelt was just the new car smell after I put it in.

AznLex..those clear mat are the ones I got on my ES350 as well. The front does fit, but the rear is a diff story. IMHO, its worth the price (to the thread starter).

Yup, cheap but still does the job. Most of the time I'm alone but other times I take my little sibs and they have small feet so the rears work out anyways

WalMart mats for $50?

I'd rather get the Exactmats for $70. For a little extra $$, you get a perfect fit.
