Yanked out the cocomats yesterday evening to vacuum the car and I left them out for good. I went ahead and put the tan OEM ones back in, even though they were slightly dirty.
I really loved the look of the black mats with the tan dots. Check this photo for a feel of them. The dark color broke up the vast expanse of light colored tan interior and the mats hid the dirt real well. On the downside, they shed short back fibers on the “carpet” and they started to come apart right where you place your first foot down when entering the car. The shedding I could handle and I worked around the fraying on the driver’s side by artfully snipping out the offending strays, but now that that malady has effected the passenger side too, it was time for them to come out.
