Weather Tech floor mats worth it?

Just curious about what everyone else thinks about these mats. For my 03' Evo they would run about 100 bucks. Seems over priced, but I would like to take care of the interior over the winter with all the salt being put out on the roads.

Theres a set of WeatherTech floormats in that white benz in my avatar. They fit like OEM all season mats just without the MercedesBenz pricetag.

I prefer the OEM Mitsu rubber floormats. They fit perfectly and are cheaper than the WeatherTechs. They're made for all Laners, not Evo-specific.

What do the OE mats look like? I've been trying to find a set for my car.

Dark gray rubber with compartments to keep the water/slush out from under your feet and not leaking onto the carpet underneath. Where our stock mats say "EVOLUTION" they say "LANCER".

I have them in my evo x and they're nice. You could spill a whole cup of coffee and never get the floor wet. They fit just as good as oem if not better because these mats are dished unlike the stockers.

Just grab some of those high capacity winter slush floor mats from Walmart. I've had them in my Toyota Tacoma and a Subaru. They work like a champ. Several different non intrusive colors like dark gray and they're less than $20. They hold about a quart of water without spilling over the edges.

If you're O.C. about having a brand name on your mats you could order some I guess or you could buy someone a Christmas present and check someone off your list with the money you saved.

I had WeatherTech mats in a previous car when I lived in snow country - Denver. They are simply terrific. I highly recommend them.

Weather tech makes some really awesome stuff, and it's made in the USA, including all the machines they use to make the mat's. They've gotten my business before, and will continue to in the future.

I just the cheap Walmart WeathTech knockoffs. Doesn't fit perfectly but it cost me 20 bucks and still protects the carpet.

I don't have OCD but if you do, go with WeatherTech. Good mats. =P

I bought the black, OEM ones! They fit PERFECT and are easy to clean. I get them cheap and they have lasted for four seasons! I use them just for the Winter months, then I use the OEM carpeted ones for the good weather...

i got a set of rubbermaid floor mats which can be cut to fit the design of evo floor mats. i use them during the winter to keep the oem mats good looking. definately worth it, especially after snowboarding.
