Enough With The Tires .. How About Winter Mats ?

Okay Guys .. read a little about winter mats a couple of weeks ago but not sure what the outcome was.. Anything out there from CTC, Walmart or do we have to go to Mazda ?

You guys missed out on the Ebay buy of the century. $20 US for a full set of genuine Mazda RX8 Winter Mats. That was my best Ebay buy yet! :-)
I think it was Jason Hamilton who alerted us to that deal.

Go to Price club. They sell some heavy duty winter mats for like $30. Do they fit the RX-8 exactly? Hell no, but it covers a large space which is what you are looking for. It is winter afterall and there will be a mess down there no matter what. They are even designed to hold like 2 glasses of water or something like that.

Shipping was under $10, no duty, and exchange rate is better than its ever been for a very long time. If you can get them for $60 + pst + gst, more power to you. I've seen them go for $120.

Just get the Mazda mats. They are a perfect fit. Sure we all like to save money, but lets get real, 120 bucks, no big deal.
I am happy with mine. I dont have time to watch ebay, or shop around just to save 40-50 bucks.

Bigger Is Better ... So My Ladies Say

Like what Shamblerock is recommending .. But Shamblerock get with the program..there are no more Price Clubs are there ? You ment Cosco I'm sure and I hope you were talking about this year... Going to check it out and let you know.. Are the sets from Mazda front and back ? Need no backs.. only go there with no boots or clothes on..

I bought the pant savers from Costco, I think it was ~$30, my wife picked them up, so not sure on the price. Anyway, they fit pretty good, except the passenger side, but it covers a large area and the small mats for the back fit like they were made for the 8. Thanks guys!

I tried picking up the All weather RX-8 mats from Gyro Mazda. None in Stock. None in the warehouse. Apparently on back order in the US.

If you bought them in TO, which dealership? I need to start calling around.
Cheers
