Ebay search came up with nothing and I'm thinking I should def get some rubber mats for candian winter. Don't wanna get 3rd party because perfect fit is important especially for clutchin so anyone know where I can get oem mats online without paying 3 bills at the stealership?

I would suggest getting after market mats.

The accessory "all weather" mats aren't good for much more than sand and leaves. I first tried them in my 03 Accord, then in my 06, and the 08. They're shallow and do not hold water / snow at all. Snow and water will end up saturating the floor anyway. And they aren't a perfect fit - they are not snug up against the sides of the foot well and melted snow will end up spilling off.

Weather tech or another popular aftermarket brand will offer much deeper grooves and better "water containment".

That said, I found the Honda accessory mats much more useful in the summer when we would go to the beacon or hiking. It made cleaning up sand or dirt very easy.
