The tightness of the carpet, the quality of the pile.

It's significantly thicker, heavier. Feels plush too. I almost want to take my shoes off in the car.

muz et al,
How do you guys think these mats would look on a rio yellow car, having the trim and S logo in yellow, too over the top?

Is this correct that charcoal matches factory interior better than black? How would the black mat look in the factory interior, opinions?
Thks

Black mats look fine, in fact the majority of people order them. Charcoal mats however are the best match to the factory OEM carpet on cars with 'black ' interior.

Black/Yellow



Charcoal/Yellow

hmmm... are they better or worse quality than the OEM mats that come with the car, how do the "cheap" ones compare to the stock mats

off topic: you were/are on clubrsx.com koala, right?

Well, put it this way... we consistently receive and see reports of people owning our mats for 3, 4 or more years without any excessive signs of wear. They will outlive the factory mats by a very long time.

thats good

im trying to compare the mats to the oem ones, because im trying to figure out if the carpet of the regular muz mat is like the OEM mat or if it's thinner/thicker than OEM
if the ragular muz mat is like the OEM then i'll get the regular kind, if its a lot worse than OEM mat than i'll get the prestige one's

Muz

Carpet quality is not measured by the thickness of the mat but by the density of the pile. Our mats may be similar (or slightly less thick) in height than the OEM mats (I haven't compared) but either version, standard or prestige, is far superior to the regular factory mats and will serve you well for a much longer period of time.

Both wear very well but the prestige is a more upmarket plush looking carpet and even longer wearing. Both prestige and standard mats are similar as far as 'thickness' goes.

man, i'm having a really hard time expressing myself

so yeah... what i meant is if the density of the pile of the regular muz mat is similar to OEM mat, if it's more or less dense than OEM im sure the prestige version is, but i just wanna know about the regular version
sorry for all the questions muz, im just trying to figure out what i want to order

iammike

he said the regular has a more dense pile than an oem mat.
