Yeah I saw those, Addicted texted that over to me and my eyes rolled around on the floor a bit. My first thoughts were, take the shoes off and put plastic cover booties on. But damn they sure look plush.

When I worked at the dealer people would request I replace the lambswool floor mats. I would bring the price quote to the service advisor to call the customer with the price (about $1500.00 for the set)

I also got a quote for the regular mat set for LWB. (about $150.00)

The customer ALWAYS bought the LWB regular mat set!

Yea as much as I enjoy getting this Dubai lotto $ for sitting @ home, I can't justify that for floor mats lol.

I'd go $350-500 that's it, unless I fall off the wagon & a buzzed internet shopping spree manifests lol.

Did you find a good source for the floor mats?

I see some aftermarket ones for X308 in beige on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/27513166196...3ABFBMvtHAquJg

There is also a german online shop which allows you to configure "custom" floor mats which fit the X308 but they don't have the attachment metal rings: https://www.fussmatten-autoteppiche....-1997-2003-top
-> 65€ for a full set with fancy print (dont get fooled by floor mat shape in the picture, they will cut it in the proper form)

I think I will just stick with the nice thick rubber ones. If somebody gets in with muddy shoes
it is just a quick spray with the pressure washer and like new and they cover more of the
floorboard. Besides, who is going to pay much attention to the floor mats. Certainly not me.
I had lambswool seat covers for a while but that seemed like a sacrilege.

I’ve always wished I had wool mats for my XJR. I found these faux wool mats on Amazon. I had to get two sets and cut them to shape. Total was about $65. I’m so happy with them. They did slide around a bit, so I used duct tape on the back and that fixed that. I’ll switch to Velcro on the back soon instead of the tape for a little more class haha!
