Flexibility
icantsee,
Are the mats flexible enough to be easily removed. I guess I am asking if you went to a car wash and they were pulling out the mats to clean them, are they hard enough that the workers would be banging up the area they are pulling from?
I used to have a set and I found that they were not easy to get in and out, in the sense of quick cleaning (like at a car wash or whatever).

Husky over Weathertech
I have not owned Weathertech floor liners, but I did own a full set of Husky floor liners in a Yukon XL. I hate to be the guy harping on flexibility, but the Husky's were not very pliable at all. When you removed them to clean them, the little carpete nubs on the bottom would cause damage to the surrounding surfaces (i.e. like leather seats, etc.). Those nubs were just plain old sharp as well.
Another problem I had was during winter, the Husky mats got real hard, so if you wanted to remove them for cleaning, it was difficult. Lastly, I got curl over the years as the plastic/rubber got old.
The Weathertech may perform the same way, I do not know. I did just post a reply to the original message in this forum to learn about the flexibility/pliability of the weathertech liners.

I've got the Husky's. The liners are a bit stiff, but it can be pulled out without damaging anything in its surrounding area. The fronts will flex easily at where the door and kick-panel meets, keeping the dirt contained as well. The second row is much more challenging due to the sheer size of the mat (one piece). It's easier to grab a vaccuum and remove as much dirt as possible first then remove it. Alternatively, you can just wipe them down. The tacks underneath are very sharp and it helps keep the liners from sliding around. The cargo liner is a lot more flexible than the floor liners.
Got my Weathertech... Cruel company, I only got the rear one so far! I guess the fronts are in more demand so those are the ones that are 7-14 day ship time... DOH! Oh well! I was so excited to get the box...it was a bit depressing to open it and only see the rear one in there *sniff*
Like the tight fit on them, so if the fronts fit similarly I'll be quite happy! And very happy to get rid of the paper and carpet I'm using heh...

Could anyone list some good places to order the WeatherTech mats from? If there are forum sponsors that sell them, I'd be happy to give them my business...or are people buying direct? Thank you.
*edit* I forgot to ask if anyone had pictures of the grey WeatherTechs in a Sport package equipped 4Runner? How well does the gray match the factory carpet color?

I just ordered the black WeatherTech floor liners today, mainly based on feedback here on the forum. Thanks to you all, and hopefully I'll have them in 14 days.

You'll probably have them sooner, which is always nice. They said 7-14 days for me but I ended up getting them Fri(Rear) and Saturday (Front, not sure if Fedex just forgot to get that one off the truck on Friday or what). I was pleasantly surprised to get them for the weekend
And I'm quite happy with the fit so far but I haven't driven around on them much yet, daughter is down with the flu 
Ordered mine on the 5th or 6th and had them by the 9th.

anyone know what the tan ones look like and if they get a black dingy film on them?
My friends tan honda civic ones get dirty very easily I will definitely go with black if that is the case.

Best place to buy these besides weather tech themselves. are there any supporting vendors?

I did receive mine on Tuesday of this week by the way, and bought them directly from WeatherTech. They aren't installed yet, but I'll share pictures when I get around to that.
