Anyone have any information about where I can find floor mats for my 2004?

I want to pick up some rubber/plastic floor mats that cover the factory mats that came with my car to protect them.

I know they sell super cheap ones at target and walmart, but I want something nicer and made specifically for the prius.

I live in the great northwest and the rain and mud sure do have an easy time ending up on my floor.

I checked out allweather floor mats but was wondering what others have done for their solution...

thanks y'all

I'm mighty interested in the answer to this one as well. I'm in Toronto, Canada and although the winters are warmer there than most parts of Canada, we still see our fair share of snow.

I really like mine from http://www.matdepot.com. They are out of the material that is used for carpet protectors in office supply stores. They are cut to fit the Prius, have little points on one side to eliminate slipping (though they fit so well, that isn't a problem) and the top has a slight pebble texture. Now one thing you might need that this doesn't offer is a lip to hold in liquids. My feet don't get that wet here so it is no problem.

In Finland, Toyota sells original Prius mats (both rubber and textile). It says Prius only on the driver's mat though. The set costs less than 100 USD. About 70-80 USD.

I have both

If you want something really nice try Exactmats.

They have them for the Prius. You can buy them separately. Fronts: driver and passenger. Cargo area. Back come two ways: right and left or one piece that does right, left and over the hump.

I have all three and chose the over the hump for the back.

They aren't cheap and don't look it. Nice heavy clear plastic with little plastic points on the underneath that stick into the regular carpet mats so they don't slide around. I really like that part.

I bought mine on eBay but you can also find them other places. I think toyotaparts.com might have them too.

I got mine from a great Toyota dealer in Cleveland who advertises on "E" bay. They are "exacta" and as have been described made of the same clear plastic used to protect carpet from desk chairs ect and sold by "Staples" The four piece set for front and rear are fifty dollars and the one for trunk fifty also. Spring time is now here and I can go back to my still new carpets!

I called up a dealership in Canada and got the geniune mats from them...

There's also a type made by carbox. You can get them from mats4less.com. I bought the rubber mat for the cargor area from them

You can see here the mats sold by Toyota in Finland:

http://www.metrotpn.com/ProductDetails. ... ortIndex=9 worked out nice for me...

I went to http://www.mats.com/ That is the web site for weathertech. I did not get the Toyota factory mats because I felt there were too expensive for what you got and they were carpeted, so in time they would just get messed up. Anyway, the Weathertech mats are a near custom fit for the front seats and the mats for the back seats are universal fit, but provide a fairly good and tight fit in the back seat area.

What I like about them is that they are a nice floppy and grippy rubber. They have very deep groves and hold all water, dirt and gravel that I might track into the car, until I'm able to clean them out. I was the best aftermarket money I have spent on my vehicle. I anticipate having them in my car until I must part with it, which should be many years down the road.

I guess you are right. I think they are meant only for very dry weather. I will use mine from June till August. But even if they get messed up, you can always but new ones

How expenisive were they?

I just flip mine to the rubber side in winter, and to the carpet side in summer. They hose off nicely!

I went to that site as you suggested, jeromep, and they have nice tan rubber mats. These mats are listed for a Prius Classic, but I see that you have a 2nd gen. Prius. I take it the mats fit fine there too?

The geniune Toyota mats I'm talking about are all rubber, not the carpeted ones..

COSTCO SELLS A SET OF FOUR MATS. $19.95. THEY FIT LIKE THEY ARE CUSTOM MADE FOR THE CAR.
