I just assumed my gray floor mats are the original, as I purchased the car from the original owner with 3K miles on it. When I looked at the car, I asked if the roof door seals leaked and the owner said he didn't know as he had nver had it out in the rain and also had never vacuumned the carpets.......they were spotless and I have a central vacuum with an outlet by the D and I keep it that way.....I love the looks of them. With the doors up and sun shining full on them they are just like new and spectacular looking. I never let them get any spots or dingy looking. I have had the car 8 years and have 8K miles on it so that may be a factor!!

I have a gray interior with the black floor mats. I think it's a nice contrast to the all gray. But I am sure gray mats would make the car seem brighter and larger. I am really impressed with the factory mats, they have been tough and durable, this was one reason I never changed mine out. I had considered keeping the originals just for shows. But thanks to the floor mats my carpets underneath look brand new, so you could say the wear and tear on the mats is worth it. One of the more knowledgeable people among us can probably verify this, but I thought originally all OEM floor mats were black? Happy motoring!

They also warp real bad in the heat. They look cool, but are not made very well and not worth $150.00. I have had mine for about a year and with daily driving they are ruined. DMCH really needs to update these wth a better made carpet. - VB ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
