Check WeatherTech--they might make a custom-cut mat set for our cars...

if you are looking for something just for the winter, I bought outdoor rubber backed carpeting from Home depot and just trimmed up some pieces for the front and back. I think the carpeting cost me about $15 or $20. Then I boughtt super cheap pant saver rubber mats. The carpeting saves the Lexus rug from salt stains and the pant saver saves the pants

I bought clear chair mat from staples (the one with pins for carpet) and cut them to the shape of the floor mats. Got it in both my lexuses, looks great, keeps my mats clean, only $40 total cost, and its 100% perfect fit.

Yup: www.weathertech.com

They have custom-fit floormats in 3 colors. $55 + shipping for the fronts only, or $100 for all 4 + shipping.

+1 on custom fit, the generic ones without teeth on the bottom to grip the carpet tends to shift under your brake pedal after a while and it gets pretty annoying to yank it back down every few rides.

I wonder if cutting a hole in the mat to use the factory mat clips would work?? Maybe they come with holes...

Goodyear Universal All Weather floormats are great! Thicker & better quality rubber than Weather Tech's.. Hey, it's Good Year rubber.. I have them & they have held up fantastic.. I paid $25 bucks for a set of 4 at BJ's.. They may be a few bucks more at Autozone, Pepboys etc..

Here they are

Anti-skid backing keeps your Floor Mats in place
Rear mat measures 18"l. x 14 1/2"w., 2 lbs., 3 ozs.
