Even still... You're going to drop 25 bucks on a set of Wal Mart floor mats, so for another 20 dollars, your getting something that will fit correctly and match some interiors

The authentic, original OEM charcoal mats with the heel pad insert also did not have the rubber nubs under the heel pad portion of the mat. As mentioned post 106, they do not have the thicker pile carpet, and the rubber backing is flimsy / flexible compared to OEM original. I use them in the messy winter months. And, as others have stated, they're cheap compared to aftermarket alternatives. The deep-discounted price should be a tip off. You get what you pay for applies here.

Interesting. Mine came in the exact wrapper bag, part #, dealer name, etc. with clips and tags as pictured above. I do have two sets of original OEM charcoal floor mats from my '01 and, as noted above, these are not the thickness of carpet pile or rubber backing as the original OEM sets, but the color is a correct match to my interior. For the price, I'm not disappointed.

I agree with Tom 57 all the way. Why is there a square patch on them? Maybe that has something to do with em being so cheap I weighed em the cheap ones are 200 grams heavier all in the rubber.

The patch is a heel pad (driver's side only) where the carpet is less pile, more like a mat to avoid heel gouge.

I have these exact same mats , I purchased a set last summer, although I paid over $100 from a different source.

All signs say they are OEM, but they are not the quality of the originals.

My guess is they are OEM "replacement" mats, they are not the original mats you get with your car.

Mine came with the UGLY foot patch on the drivers side as well.

With that said at $16 I will order another set now.

Well, with 9 pages of discussion, I figured I'd jump on a set myself..... I can always use a spare set.

It's also interesting that these mats are available only in charcoal grey color.

Dollar cost averaging - 2 sets for $116 is better than one set for $100!

Interesting. The shipping on mine was a mere 9.00, for a total investment of 25.00 dollars.
