What happens a lot is the top mats get dirty, and get removed at sale time to reveal beautifully clean mats underneath, where the mats underneath are really an extension of the carpet...
Not sure that made any sense...
Carpet materials changed (cheapened) when facelift came out, so they're thinner nylony type affair, where pre face was a much deeper quality rug.
You'll never get pre and post face mats to interchange and look right...
Hope that helps ?

I've still got my upper and lower mats  ... think they are quite rare to find together nowadays.
I would be quite interested in the OEM rubber ones....anyone any idea on part numbers for that by any chance?
