Wasn't all that impressed with the mats I got from ricambi automobila on ebay (nothing against the seller, but the mats aren't as heavy as I'd hoped). So I decided to try a set of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FLOO...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
They're clearly not made for an X because they ship with a set of rear mats, which actually work rather nicely side-by-side in the rear trunk. The driver's side leaves a small gap towards the outside of the car but otherwise fits okay. The passenger's side extends up the wheel well a little further than a custom mat would, but it does help protect that area.
The mats themselves aren't super heavy, but I think they're heavier than the ricambi automobilia ones. They ship in a flat box, whereas the others ship rolled up in a small rectangular box, if that tells you anything.
I just got them today so I haven't driven the car with the mats in place, but they do have nubs on the back to help them stay put.
All in all I'm pretty happy with them. No way are they show-quality mats, but for daily use they've gotta be better than the far pricier ricambi mats. Not bad for the bucks, and it beats standing around in the local chain auto parts store trying to figure out which of their craptastic mats would fit best in an X.
Great communication from the seller too, so if you're in the market for some daily use mats Joe Bob says check 'em out (a little humor for those who know who Joe Bob Briggs is).
