2008 A4 : post purchase work...

[Steve Marinello]

And these are Ultimats?  Not like the ones I have in terms of the mount;
thread density looks similar in the pic, but mine feel much thicker and more
plush than factory. OF course, mine are in the rarely driven cars, while the
daily ones have the all season mats now.

I dont know what to say about changes in quality.  These are half the thread
density of factory.
Anchors are thin plastic.  Don't really fit.

See this pic:
