I had done a search on floor mats and replied to an old post without realizing it was in the sectionwhen I think my question more appropritely belongs in the sectionso I am reposting here. My apologies if you see this as a duplicate. BJ

My 1999 Miata has a "good quality" aluminium floor mat that I purchased from Toronto after market shop for about $100 Cdn. I was told that it was made in Germany so it took a couple of weeks to arrive. I'm guessing it was sourced from IL Motorsports. I'm delighted with the high quality and fit and liked the look with metal foot pedals.

For my 2004 Miata I bought sight unseen a second hand home made set for $30 from another Miata owner who was selling his car. The quality of the aluminum was so flimsy and tops scratched so much that I was afraid to put then in a new car for fear of ripping the carpet! I gave them away to a kid with a Honda who didn't care if they fit or not just that they were shiny.

So caveat emptor and you do sometimes get what you don't pay for. I'm looking for a source of "good quality" aluminium floor mats for my new RX8. Regretably my Toronto after market store says the German manufacturer has not yet cut a set for RX8. My search of the net turned up this source
