Hey there,

I looked into this, and even orderes some "weather-tech" mats.  Sent
them back because their "best fit" model dosen't come close.  I has to
be trimmed and then you loose the containment property of the mat.

Bus Depot said they have some with a "cheesy" graphic, yellow I think.
Otherwise, it's carpet mats, make your own or keep trashing the original
carpet like I'm doing.  Let us know if you turn up another option.
