It’s a rip-off regardless. I paid $150 for large all-weather rubber floor mats from Weather Tech. Made in USA. Great quality rubber and enough material to make a 100 Isofranes.

Isofrane is such a racket, but then again, most things in watches are.
Re: New Isofrane Colors
I pick up all of my ISO straps on forums, and never for more than $75. They are my favorites, with Borealis copies as a close second.

Not sure, lol. They last forever and are custom fit to a particular vehicle. I use them in all my vehicles rather than carpeted mats.aikiman44 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:24 amWeather Tech?

Re: New Isofrane Colors
I have been buying weathertech for years on all of my cars if I decide I will have them long term. I can say the ones I bought from them on our Genesis has been disappointing. They are more plastic, so the rears mats fold up and look like shit. Where the front ones fit perfect.Panerai7 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 9:13 amNot sure, lol.

Re: New Isofrane Colors
I’ve had Weather Techs in the past, but I found out Ford made their own heavy duty floor mats when I needed them for our current vehicles. They’re a similar idea but softer feeling with a more matte appearance. Bonus is that they have the vehicle logo in the grip pattern. They were about $30 less than Weather Tech for the whole set, so a similar price point, but if I didn’t have a great OEM option I’d get the Weather Techs instead.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 10:50 amI have been buying weathertech for years on all of my cars if I decide I will have them long term.

Re: New Isofrane Colors
WeatherTech quality has gone downhill. I’ve worn a hole in the driver’s mat of the last two sets I bought. On a positive note, they replaced both sets, no questions asked.

That does suck. The Genesis only came with regular mats. So that is why I went with weathertech. My stock Saab mats have been perfect for the last 12 years.

That happened to me on my last set and they replaced it.
