    I wanted an MT.
    Just give them a good scrub, let them dry out in the sun for a little bit...problem solved!

    I recently got a full set of WTs for my birthday. The smell was pretty strong for about a week, but it did go away.

    Haven't noticed with mine, but the fucking OEM bed mat is the worst. I have a shell so it's harder to "air out". Bought it 6-8 months ago, still bad.
