I find it best to try an auto wrecker for trim items like this, but you may have to compromise on color. Pumice was discontinued after '97 and I couldn't even get OEM floor mats in '00. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 110,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 125,000km stock CD on LS, cass on LX spoiler, tinted windows on LS only 4 wheel discs on LX only All other available options on both

I started to pick the foam out of mine (to stiff) to make it softerand it smelled and looked to be leather. hunter green 96 mystique mtx, sabb side markers deep tints car bra., K & N filter, hyper white low beams, after market fogs, JVC Kameleon head unit, 600 watt amp with 2 10" kicker subs, soon to come new rims New adition 01/11/2002 The original 95SE in Midnight Red all the toys including traction control Fog light mod, lightmoonroof switch from a focus, power antena (still wiring it up) post 98 sail panels, new water pump , Bosch quad plaitnum plugs, and a new Cat.

I think you're right..Mine seems to be leather, started to crack just like the seats did before I treated them to some Zaino leather treatement.
