I also purchased the all season mats this week. They are very nice. I agree also that they look good with the stone int.

They do come with a new rubber smell. I wonder how long that will last. Hopefully not too long.

So I will be doing the same as you with the 07 (or I will be told ).
Hmmm... I may try this as well this summer. Although, when it rains (during the summer as well) I just hate to get in the car and soil the OEM carpeted mats.

I went through the same thoughts Daniel, but my wife was right it did look better and if it was a problem I thought of picking up a spare set so I could rotate them when required.

i just installed my All weather floor mats and i am very satisfied. They fit perfectly and the graphite color gives a good two tone effect for my stone interior

^^ And they will last forever. You never have to worry about them wearing down. I love mine, but I'm bothered by and quite conscious of how fast the summer mats wear out.

To all of you who have had them for a while, how long would you say the rubber smell lasts?

I don't remember a rubber smell much. I could just smell that nice new car smell .

If you are that concerned, leave them outside for a couple of days, then install them, there should be no odors then.

Oh not to worry, you would have noticed it by now. I just opened the box after shipment, and they smelled like brand new tires...

I put my the winter mats over the carpeted mats, they seemed to fit pretty well. My biggest concern is to ensure the carpet in vehicle stays clean. It's pretty easy to replace floor mats, but not so easy to have to replace the carpeting. Now you have me thinking, maybe I should remove the carpeted floor mats and keep the all season mats. I do agree it does look better with the carpeted floor mats.

It really isn't reccommended to stack the rubber mats over your other mats. It can cause your pedals to jam. It even warns you on a tag with the winter mats.
Try Scotchguarding your carpeting in the car it really does help protect them and in case of a spill it cleans up easier. I did this to my last few cars and it really does help.

I noticed my new mats getting dirty already - Mainly from pollen I think.

I ordered a set of front mats from Weathertech for $66 shipped.

I'll let you know how they are and post pics when they arrive.
