I have them. IMHO ugliest mats I have ever bought. The mat sticks out because there is a hump in the center of the floor.

But they serve their function REALLY well. Traps water and snow and dirt. Can hold lots of them

Anyone out there producing designer rubber mats for stooks? I know quite a bit of people are interested the last time the rubber mat incidence was brought up.

I have them for my 3.2TL and my Legend.

Excellent mats--I dare you to EVER wear them out. Keeps crud off the carpet extremely well. I have recommended them to friends and they have all been delighted, too.

HOWEVER, they are not terribly attractive--especially in the cabin of the S2000.

It depends what you want: function or aesthetics?

I agree with the others, not much to look at unless you own an SUV or truck. But I have them in my Saab and had them in my previous Passport and they serve their purpose.

What's the point of having carpet in the car if you cover it up with these absoultely hideous Weathercraft mats? It's like putting plastic slip covers on your sofa at home or covers over the leather seats.

Maybe if you drive the S2K like an SUV and go off-road all the time and track mud into the car, or drive into streams and need those little rubber pockets to collect all the water. Otherwise, why? These mats are an affectation of the whole stupid SUV fashion trend and, IMO, have no place in the S2000.

I have a simpler and far better-looking solution. Buy two sets of the 3-piece mats. When one gets dirty, replace it with the clean set and bring the dirty set into the house for a thorough cleaning. That's what I did.

I'm putting these mats in my 4Runner. I can't imagine how hideous they would look in my Scarlet. Ack! That's worse than the stock carpet!

In an SUV? Oh yea...perfect.

What, may I ask Rick, is wrong with plastic slip covers?

And careful, as I recall, one of our members in Florida has cow-motiff seat covers in her S2000...
