Pictures of Clear Rubber Mats

kman_bmw · 03-21-2011, 02:32 PM

Hey, posted these on another forum in response to a question. Anyway, I have the light color interior and needed something that wasn't black to protect the carpets. Found these clear rubber mats that really do a great job. Cut is good and actually matches the factory floor mat cut and the clear allows you to still see the interior color as it's supposed to look. Anyway, they're not slippery, hold water, dirt, etc. Scuffs don't show and neither do dusty footprints. There are several places online that you can get them. Great product as far as I'm concerned!

I am sorry but it's too ugly for me...

I'll just pay for shampooing the mats once in a while instead of using those cheap looking mats.

What does your couch look like?

I'm afrid they look nasty. Isn't that what the factory supplied and fitted car mats are for?

Reminds me of my grandmother's house from the 70's.

Not an option in my book

Looks like bubble wrap to me. Personally I think I'd rather have black rubber!

Could you please tell me if that interior is LCDF with 4B5 and if you also have 453.

Thanks!

As for the mats, they would not be my first choice as they seem to be a bit visually obtrusive. I would be curious how this would look without the small round pattern.

Of course, in real life and without the photo flash reflecting in the pattern, they might look different.

looks cheap!!!
buy the OEM rubber mats--they work great for the winter months. they actually match the color of the carpets.

I prefer no rubber if I can choose.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Glad the mats are working well for you.

toot535ix · 03-22-2011, 01:28 PM

just go bareback and enjoy the ride.....

dpwr · 03-22-2011, 02:31 PM

ya looks pretty bad imo

acey81 · 03-22-2011, 02:39 PM

Thats probably the worst thing I've ever seen when it comes to interior mats. Or wait. Any mats. I'd rather use my doormat!

Autojack · 03-22-2011, 02:43 PM

YMMV, but IMO, having no rubber mats at all looks and feels the best.

I would not put the clear bubble wrap mats on top of nice carpet.

ROFL! I know they're not the prettiest, but they are the best when it comes to not showing red mud from the ball field and keeping the carpets clean. When it dries up, the normal mats go back in.
