Try WeatherTech mats. I do not personally own a set but I have heard good things about them. They are at www.mats.com

I had some weather techs in my Sentra. They're ok. They did slide around a little. The one thing I didn't like was the fact they asked for the make and model of the vehicle. This led me to beleive they would be custom fitting. They are not! You still have to trim them to fit. If I were looking for some heavy duty winter mats, I'd probably buy them again.

I have diamond tread floor mats. I don't think you can get more all weather than that.

I got the Weather tech mats for my Evo as well, only the carpeted kind, and was kind of irked that I got generic mats that needed quite a bit of trimming to fit. Quality-wise, they are merely okay. I mean they do the job and all, but with the high-dollar advertisng they do in the car magazines you see each month (who is that model? The owner's wife?), I was expecting the world's greatest floor mats. I guess -- in the end -- it's just a floor mat.

Wow, and they are not inexpensive!

Thanks for the headsup!

Just bought a set of Weathertechs. I hope they're as good a quality as the rubber mats in my friend's WRX. They're awesome, head and shoulders above the OE Evo RS mats.

Heyy, that Weathertech looks great! I have some generic one that uses your lower half design for the entire mat. I need 'em separated like the Weathertech!

Was there a few you could choose from? Does it fit well with the TRUNK/GAS levers, dead plate, and pedals?

dizz, yes there are a few choices. Black, gray, or brown. I still haven't got them, just ordered them Thursday night. Once they get in I'll let you know how they look. I'll post some pics too. There is a Weather Tech trunk mat which is universal (requires trimming) for $40. I'm considering getting that since the OE trunk trim in the RS slides around quite a bit.

If anyone still cares my black WeatherTech's came in today. Here are my initial impressions.

They look like they can hold a gallon of water each. They're extremely heavy rubber. They fit well. The rear mats are about 30% larger than the OEM Evo RS mats, I didn't trim them since I'd prefer to have more coverage. All in all a good investment I believe.
