Does anybody know whether the floor mats out of the Verada were made of a higher quality carpet than the carpet used on Magna floor mats? Just asking because I am looking to buy some new mats off eBay. Also because I'm aware that higher grade carpet was used on the floor of Veradas compared to that in Magnas.

form what i can tell there the same qualty but with a slightly diffrent pile, make sure they are real verada mats as some cheaper mats dont last very long. i am a trimmer so i see a lot of cars (inc. magnas) comein 2 my work. they might also have a diffrent backing(cheaper ones will slide around as the good ones will grip the carpet)

i have brought mats off that same ebay seller - selling those ones.
had them about... 7months now maybe more
they have been good mats - the do NOT slide around on me at all.

mine have AWD embossed in them - and the stitching has not come loose at all.
still as good as the day i got them :)
they are easy to clean as well (actually... mine need to be cleaned again)
EDIT - mine came with the little mounting tag thing to put in the drivers foot well to clip the mat to - i havnt bothered with that (OMG HOLES IN MY CAR?! NO!!!) and they havnt moved at all.
they are a perfect fit - mine even came in a mitsu parts bag too ;)

just my 2c on my experience with those mats :)

only difference is one says verada

From what I have seen, the Verada ones have a longer pile..

I'm not sure if they have ever changed them, but I remember when mum had her KJ Xi, she bought the Verada mats from mitsu and a lot of the pile of the carpet came out when vacuuming it.. Wasn't a big deal, didn't detract from the look of the mats, but occasionally with your shoes rubbing on them it would pull bits out that would group up into a hairball of sorts on the mats..

Definatley 1000 times better than any aftermarket, universal mats though..

Mitsi Clearance Centre did have some gen Mats, but colours were limited. lots of Grey or lots of beige - I forget which.

pallets of beige and they're now $5.00. Why clean them at that price?

for $5 you'd buy them, along with a can of black carpet dye, and give it a go.. if ya stuff them up - it would be like $20 at most wasted..

worth a try one would think..

I've died grey mats black before with decent results..

Cheers to everyone for their responses, looks like I will go with the Magna mats seeing as I actually have a Magna and the fact that there is a $20 price difference between the two :)
