    My previous set were these motor trend 4pc heavy duty mats. They are also very nice. I paid $30 shipped for them. This set had fairly larger rear mats, but the front mats were just a little smaller than the amazon ones. Also, the grooves in the front of the floor mats did catch my clutch pedal unless properly positioned. However, I think the pockets around the outside are a little nicer for catching water.

    Either of these mat sets are very nice for the money IMO. I'd love a set of weather tech mats, but I'm just not willing to plunk down that kind of cash on floor mats.

    As a follow up to this, the Amazon Basic mats have a fairly strong odor and it has not really gone away much. Granted, I don't drive the car much, but still...

    with the white primer it makes the red more brighter and its much better rather than sprying directly the base coat on to the caliper or break drums
