Dave,

The ecru have been extinct like the emu, uh, dodo for several years, 
since it was the most popular interior after black and grey.  You can 
still get the OEM mats in black, blue?, and cyclamen I think it is.  I 
bought the beige mats (whatever they call them) to save the 
irreplaceable ecru mats.  Its obvious the color is off, but its a lot 
closer than black.  Perhaps a little dirt will help them blend in 
better.
