RX8 floor mats

Hi all

Happy new year!!!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with sourcing a set of right hand drive RX8 floor mats with logo.

Cannot get from Mazda anymore for my 2005 RX8. I am in Australia, but will purchase from any where if they are suitable.

Cheers

Are the right drive floor mats different than the left drive?

I ditched the mazda floormats, they tend to get bunched up and I had to constantly clean them etc, maybe it's just the carpet ones. I went to autozone and picked up a driver side rubber mat and I'm a lot happier with it. Just saying

Yeah, they are different. I was looking to replace my two front original Mazda floor mats, but having trouble finding some to fit right hand drive.

I would have to cut some to fit otherwise as the drivers side mat is very thin.

Cheers

Bunched up? Were you making sure to hook the hole in the floormat to the hook under the seat? My stock fabric mats don't bunch up.

mine tend to slide one direction, but as soon as i move it back it takes a day or 2 for them to migrate back the other way again.

Have looked almost everywhere. Can someone please advise what RX8 owners do when their floor mats are worn out? Cannot buy from Mazda, obsolete for 2005 vehicle.......most third party options are for left hand drive vehicles.

Do I cut up a standard mat and make it fit?

Seems ridiculous that I may have to do that.

Any help appreciated.

cheers

Wouldn't the 05 floor mats be the same as 06 and 07? maybe get an 06 set if you can find them and see if they fit.

@Silverhorn, It actually works really well. The stainless allows my heels to slide,rather than
dig in to the carpet mat.
