Cool. That's the same color interior as my car but mine is painted dubonnet. What color is yours?

Where did you get your floor mats?

I ordered some from Rock Auto but they were cut incorrectly and overlapped the gas pedal. They also didn't have the correct plum color.

That's the same company that made the ones I got from Rock Auto that fir so poorly.

How is the fit and placement on your front mat? Does it lay on the floor with equal spacing from each kick panel? Are the cuts for the pedals correct?

The one I got would only line up with the pedals if it were moves 2 or 3 inches to the left which meant it rode up on the kick panel and door sill and was about 4 inches away from the passenger kick panel.

They refunded my money but it makes me wonder if they have the correct pattern and just made an error cutting it or if their pattern is off.

Mine is a little off to the left also. I've got about 1/2 inch on the left and 2 inches on the right.
The cutouts for the seat brackets are also off.
It keeps the footprints off the factory rubber mat.

Yep, same as mine. The cutouts for the seat brackets and seat belt attachments in the rear didn't line up on mine either.

I even took many photos and detailed measurements and sent them a scale drawing on graph paper that showed what they needed to do to correct the fit. I did this at the request of Rock Auto.

Who knows if they changed their pattern?

I think I'll just have an upholstery guy make some for me..
