any auto parts store should carry them, something like Pep Boys or Advance Auto.

The best mats you can get and they are rubber, not plastic is from mats.com. I have had two sets over the years and they are great. They will NOT slide as you move your feet.

Cool. geez why are these mats so expensive. But wait. the mats from the dealer for the TC are rubber arent they? Good for snow or not worth ruining?

The mats from the dealer are as goos as any other mat. The good thing about them is that you can remove the carpet from the front 2 mats so just the rubber part is there and, they have a lip on them so water and snow won't get on the regular carpet. I say just go with the factory mats, they compliment the car better than any other mat would.

walley world has them for like 20 bucks. at that price, you can just replace them whenever they go bad. it's not like people are going to be saying: "aw man those are some sweet ___ mats!" they're just mats, and mats get dirty.

Default I like my stock one

I bought my car without the mats.. too expensive, found a deal on eBay grabbed it at once. All I can say... is WOW.

Its looks good in the car, and fits better than all those undersized mats at Wal-Mart.

OEM all the way!

Well Scion tC original floor mat is what you want.
Scion tC original floor mat is not only cloth material but also rubber mat with spike.
If you don't want carpet surface, you can pull out carpet part. then there is only plastic(rubber) mat with spike.

You might be able to find them online for a little less but the salesman can always add them in the deal for you or you can wait. That is up to you. He WILL NOT be able to "throw" them in because of the Pure Pricing of the Scion. As a salesman, I have to explain that to customers on a day to day basis. There is such little profit in these things, there is no reason to anyways.

Buy cheaper one either original or Walmart's.
salesman will not give discount and charge labor.
