ecru, different colored mats?
My mats get sooo dirty so quick. I did a search and it seems that the general (of the few) consensus is that people are getting black mats?
Any other solutions? Any pics of black mats with ecru interiors? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I completely agree that the mats need to be protected. In the past I bought all-weather mats, but I decided that I didn't want the rubbery feeling under my feet.
The color options were so limited when I checked so I decided to make my own. It just so happened that my office was getting new carpet tiles so we had samples that were 24"X24". That was large enought to trace the existing floor mats and cut them with a sharp box cutter.
You can see the edge of the driver's mat in my other posting (it's the fourth picture in the first post) here:

The advantages are:
The variety is endless
The cost is zero
You can cut the new driver's mat so that it covers the dead pedal (left foot rest)
Just remember to be really careful with whatever blade you use to cut the carpet. The liability is all yours. We don't want anyone on CL to get the nick name "nine fingers".
I can take a few new pix if you need them. Just let me know.

NorCal, thanks for the info. I am very curious to see the end product. I would really appreciate pics. For some reason the link doesn't work.
Farkas.. thanks! I love it! I think I may go that route. Of course, you can't really tell from a pic... so what are you real world impressions? Like it?

If you swap black mats AND carpet in a car with a lighter interior it looks as if the seats are "floating". I did this in a car I had a while back and loved it. When you opened the door the seat stood out, grabed your attention, and invited you in.
