In desperate need of Floormat Advice!

I was gonna buy some floormats from AMES performance engineering and I just found out they are no longer available. They are mostly capeted with one vinal corner that is patterned like my 91 firebird dash and gauges(the little squares). If any one knows of anywhere else they are available, i would like to know. I guess I am also on the market for ideas....who has the best floormats???? I want pics, prices, sellers...whatever you got! Thanks ahead.
Evan.

This might be kind of a gimme, but check eBay. I've found some nice mats that are custom fitted and have nice logos.

I got floormats from 1A Automotive ( http://www.1aauto.com/ ) the same place I got my carpet from for $70. They are carpeted and molded for the car. Vinal ones look tacky IMO.

I got a 4-mat set for one of my GTAs from World Discount Auto Parts for $59.99. They are cut like the original mats and seem to be working well so far.

A little bit more flexible than the OEM mats, but no slippage or shifting problems yet.

i have 4th gen mats in mine and they work just fine; the passenger side could be a little more flush, but it works and looks nicer than stock.

I got mine from 1A Automotive also. They're very nice and they are made to fit correctly into the floor.
