floor mats

[Bruce Wayne]

I just ordered a set of the 3 piece floor mats (the non German ones) from VC,anyone else have these? thoughts,likes dislikes?

[msinabottle]

Love mine! If you mean the ones that cover the entire cab. Trust me, that's the way to go. I had a minor leak from the brake switch on my new master cylinder. Just enough to ruin the carpet, except...

Best!

The ones with the little circular holes pattern? I love them.

I think the cover the whole cab area,and they have the little circles in them.are the ones below the ones you two (msin and tencent) have?

Them's the ones. Got mine in gray, good match for the carpet. They fit well, and are easy to pull out and dump the dirt, which lingers in the little holes until dump-day. I like the way they look.

Did anyone notice a reduction in road noise with these mats?

[Bruce Wayne]

I was also wondering about noise reduction.

[bibbylauer]

No apparent road noise reduction. As others mentioned, they look good and catch dirt great. They also had a fairly strong vinyl-ish smell for the first few weeks, but it went away with use.

I have had mine for over a year now and they look as good as new. Easy to install, fit well, look good, and never slide around on you like most floor mats in cars do. I highly recommend them.

Wish I could get the same ones for my Bay.

Yeah, I just shook mine out yesterday and that's something I noticed, too. They stay put on the floor without sliding around. Those little points on the underside really dig in to the carpet and stick.

they will be here today. I seem to be the last stop for the UPS man,he always shows up around 5:30-6 p.m.

[Bruce Wayne]

they do have kind of a funky smell to them,but otherwise very nice. no I need the same stuff for the rear area.

[tencentlife]

The smell goes away, just like most plastic-y things. I'd love a big piece of this stuff for the back, too.

I wonder if these might be big enough for the rear:

Select a large SUV like a Ford Expedition and look at the cargo mats.
