Does anyone know the best place to purchase floor mats that fit. Both cloth and rubber for winter use? I have tied all sorts of universal ones but no luck.:help

After trying aftermarket on my 5, 7 & 8, I now always go dealer. Any price savings I've experienced otherwise, wasn't worth it, even with OEM knockoffs. About rubber, I don't know... I do my best to avoid puddles 8-)

Thanks for info ...but it is hard to avoid puddles with 2 feet of snow and slush.

I hear you bro... I have to admit I was smiling when I added that. The most I could save on aftermarket knockoffs was 10 or 20 dollars. With the perfect dealer fit and the new velcro attach points I really like the OEM ones. The velcro is way better than the old plastic pins. What color is your interior? I have a decent set in gray I could part with. They're in my garage loft so I'm not going to dig for them unless your interested, but I think they're the pin attach type.

No problem... I'll pass on the bucket tho... If your just looking for a set for winter driving the grey wouldn't be a mortal sin. I'm sure I don't have the floor mounting pads for them, but if you went with new black w/velcro you could add velcro tape to the back of these to use for beaters. They're in pretty good shape if anyone else is interested. Would give them an easy "B".
BTW you have a very nice stable of cars listed, just having trouble figuring which one you put the snow plow on?... At least you probably get to enjoy driving them in the summer, the traffic here (south of Los Angeles) tends to bite the fun out of a run unless it's late at night.

My car has only 30k orig miles so I run a second pair of OEM mats on top of the originals..........seems to work well, the orig mats are still mint....
