The none OEM floor mats in my 2004 Wagon are pretty shocking, the drivers side doesn't even fit properly and is a massive PITA when driving - new mats are needed.
Trying to get a price out of my local dealer is like trying to heard cats as they never phone back so i've taken to eBay, however the question is do i stick with genuine mats or aftermarket if the latter is there a preferred supplier?
I also have the same problem due to cheap poor quality copies the last owner bought,proper pita they are!
I've been looking at these but can't comment on quality:
ive heard the scoobyworld mats are good. they have proper sti logos which are tufted into the mat not a stitched on bit of material with the logo on which is always stitched on squint and looks naff on the cheaper ebay tat. heel plates help with wear and they have the corner eyelet which hooks onto the mat as well which most others dont. i might have a set of them myself soon.

Had a look at Scoobyworld and they seem expensive. Need to keep looking
I'd love to be able to drop on a set of new STi Type UK mats. Apparently they are not available any more. Currently running cheap £12 mats to keep the carpet clean.

Quality is excellent. The 'nap' fibres are about 10mm tall! With the logo machine-embroidered into, effectively, the base of the ensemble (if you zoom into the logo, you'll see how the fibres stand higher than the logo).

I was right... They come with a 'universal fixing system'.
It's basically a pair of two modular, black plastic pieces - one set for each rear corner of the mat (the seat end).
You DO have to create two holes, about 5mm dia.
You then pass the female parts of the assembly through each hole from the underside, so that it pokes through to the topside.
You then simply screw in the other male piece from the topside - a circular retainer about 15mm diameter.
Then you position the mat and push it forward so that a metal pin and two moulded spikes on the underside of the bottom pieces bite into the car's carpet, thus holding the mat in place i.e. so that it cannot slide (forwards).
Not sure I fancy butchering the mat, TBH... Think I'll see how it fares without them first.
I'll let you know I get on.

I bought WRX branded mats from Scoobyworld and they're very good quality. Mine came with the eyelet in the driver's side mat so no butchering required. I wonder if this is a legal requirement for the mats to come with secure fixings if the car does not have a mat hook on the drivers side? I'm pretty sure there are regulation in the US following accidents caused by mats interfering with the pedals.
Has anyone bought from here before? Thinking of ordering these WRX mats for my blobeye wagon, but thinking those scoobyworld ones might be better quality with the heelpad: http://subaru-impreza.sgpetch.co.uk/...X+Logo/id=3642
