Cool How about some Oriental Carpeting?

Found these in a trade in at work. They match the color of my car and one of the other salesman talk me into putting them into the car. I want your opinions, good bad or indifferent!

Pretty soon the floor mat recall will extend to UCF10s because of those mats...

You're going to have to smoke a big tobacco pipe while you drive and get an Afgan dog to ride around in the back seat if you rock those.

J/K of course, the important things is your opinion.... if you like it go for it.

My mom did something similar in her old car 10 years ago (she was about 70 at the time) using oriental-carpet styled doormats. Wore well and didn't show much dirt.

If you likes, keep them in. In this case, you can take them out and no one will know. Those won't show the dirt either.

If you keep those, you need to get one of these to complete the package...

I agree, I love it.

I had the same thing in our jeep(was new at the time) 10 years ago. It was the best looking piece of the interior.

Exactly what I was thinking nice one

I do like those carpets though they don't match the interior at all

damn!

i've been keeping these pretty much to myself for a couple years. i love them. in fact i'm tempted to offer to buy them but they don't match my color at all (they are made of high qwuality carpet, available in ~10 patterns, and run ~$200 for fronts only/$300 for all 4; and another $250 for the matching trunk).

Awesome But you need it to match colour with your exterior, If it's burgundy; Yeah, why not. If it's like green
