Does Anyone Have Experience with Carbox Mats???

LOLGuy · 04-25-2005, 11:19 AM

I'm looking for good all-weather mats before rainy season is upon us and Carbox now has mats for the Prius. Any feedback is appreciated.

Yep. My wife purchased them for me as a gift. Took a long time to get in. But they are worth it and the color isn't too bad (she ordered the tan). It has a nice lip and fits exactly. If you want pictures I can post them.

Thanks for your post. That would be great if you could post a picture or so. Regards,

Here's a site that you can look at pictures of the Carbox installs. Currently I only have pictures of the cargo mat and rear seat mat. I haven't installed the front ones as I haven't shampooed the carpet from this winter. As you can see by the cargo mat it doesn't coverup the tie-downs.

Wow, they look perfect! Best Ive seen. They really fit that well? How long did they take to come in?

but... does it feel like plastic when you step on them?

LOLGuy · 04-28-2005, 08:55 AM

Thanks for posting the pictures. I ordered them last night.

I ordered mine from mats4less.com on 4/8. On 4/11 they said they would ship in 4 to 6 weeks. They shipped on 4/26. Not bad. I should get them any day now.

My plan, maybe a little too belt and suspenders, is to put cheapo carpet type floor mats over/in the carbox floor mats. I think that will be more comfortable on the feet.

I have the cargo mat and the fit is real tight. There's no moving around.

It's kinda rubbery but on the plasticy side of rubber. How's that for a description! Not a rubber mat like my last car. But it's lightweight, easy to clean. Works very well for the cargo mat.

Does make me wonder how this material would be for floor mats. I wondering if you're feet would slip around a lot.

Please let us know what you think when you get them

I just ordered the carbox mats for car and cargo. Now all I need is the car! Might have it within a month. Is that putting the cart before the horse so to speak? I'm going to get the mudflaps first too.
