Some things never change~
So back when I was driving an '86 and frequenting the C4 section, the running gag about you C5 types was the obsessiveness about floormats... Now I drive an '01, and the new Mid America Motorworks catalog showed up, and what's on the front cover.... "New Premeier Floor & Cargo Mats"...

I have El Cheapo WalMart grey mats over my nice stock ones.
When I "show", I take out the cheapos. Otherwise, they take the abuse rather than some cool custom ones or the OEM rugs.

I think the BSM debate is much more important than floormats.

OOOOOOoo my, I have floor mats on my C5... Please forgive me....lol
I have Torch Red carpet and I want to keep it looking good so I use floor mats, I see nothing wrong with that. Floor mats are a lot better to clean or replace than the whole carpet. Do as you wish, I am sticking with mats...

None of this trivial fluff will be determined until we find out why C6's won't wave at C5's, C5's won't wave at C4's, C4's won't wave................ ad nauseatum.
