+1 on the OEM winter mats. Very nice quality, and cheap.
And if the correct 2007-up mats (32026015) are not available, you can still use the 2003-06 mats (32026121) with a very minor modification. That's what I did.
The problem lies in the floor plastic pins : 2007-up are truncated cones, while the older are mushroom-shaped. So I had to enlarge the hole in the rubber mats with a Dremel tool, and that's it. But just to be sure the mats won't move at all, I did drill a very small hole in the pin, and use large washers and a small screw on top of it. Both are stainless steel stuff found at Home Depot. Don't use mild steel, as you'll end up with nasty rusted screws in no time.
By the way, I did order the correct mushroom shaped pins (92152123) for the winter floor mats, thinking I could swap them each season. But removal of the truncated cones was impossible without destroying them, so I did the supplemental SS screw/washer thing instead.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the OEM mats. Very nice product.
