That way you can protect the good mats for every day use but still be able to see them.
And do you get protector's to protect the protector's? Do you use a seat cushion so that you don't touch the leather? How's about a plastic cover for your steering wheel? And you do all this why? For the next guy that buys your car? If your think that you are increasing the resale vaule of your car, you have a big surpise in store for you!

I would go with the black mats. My wife has a light gray interior on her Lexus and we had to put clear exacto mats over the top. Gray for the Cargo area would be good. Good Luck.

Excuse me??? I didn't say anything about increasing the resale value. I said the yellow logo gets dirty easily, which it does. Actually I only put cheap plastic protectors on my floor mats, so they will stay clean for car shows. Sorry if that bugs you. As far as all that other stuff you said... nope, my car is a daily driver - rain, sleet or snow; it doesn't live in a bubble. However, I've worked hard to earn the things I have, so I try my best to keep them in good condition.

I'd go with the grey. My mats are black and show every speck of dirt/grass, etc...

Oh, and love all of your avatars!
