They do sit higher, not too bad imo. They are very comfortable too. I have driven with them for a few hours before and I was cumfy the whole time.
The material is a little thin so be careful not to rub across them with something hard or sharp. That being said they are worth the $$ and for what its worth the tan looked to me like it would match pretty well. I opted for the black ones however and changed my carpet to black too.
Ebay, for $100 but it was an aftermarket reproduction and it does not fit like OEM. I would suggest buying OEM or looking for a black OEM carpet to come up on ebay.
