i gave you the floor mat one so that people knew what it looked like. the back ones do not fit the back floor really well, they are just rectangles.


BTW, thanks for posting up my pix

anytime. I love those floor mats That's the color I'm shooting for

One question. do you have a pic of the seats? in the floor mat pic, it looks like the seat is dimpled along the front edge where the blue pattern starts.

Yes , CA
LOL! That sounds familiar....my dealer said they would sell AT MSRP, then after the deposit said, "Well, MSRP plus the $591 dealer prep charge," which I then asked about what it was.

Salesguy: "Well, it is washing and waxing the car, and getting it cleaned for you."

Me: "Well, don't wash the car."

Salesguy: "........(silence)...."

Me: "Tell you what....don't even touch the car...don't even take the wrapping off of it..leave it dirty."

Salesguy: "Ummm....well.....we canot do that."

Me: "Why the heck not?"

Salesguy: "Well, we will still charge you for it anyway."

Me: "Why? You're not doing what you said you were charging me for."

Saleguy: "Well....umm.....it is just part of the price."

Me: "Then why don't you just tell me it is an additional mark-up instead of being all shady."

Salesguy: "Well...okay....you're right."

Me: "I thought so."


Dude....dealers make me mad....at that was the SALES MANAGER!

well meeyatch1 it is better than some other places are charging.

DakarM, I can take pics of the seat for you if you like. Those are dimples in the seat, that is how the fabric is, they are supposed to hold on to you better by creating more friction, thus less body movement while driving.

Yeah, I just checked one out at lunchtime and it was yellow. Looked pretty damn good. I need to stop by and see some other colors. Congrats on your purchase!

Hopefully no one who buys this car will be confused by this.
That would be a shame.
Not many non-enthusiasts will be forking over 30K plus for a fast "Lancer".
