As noted by other posters, these were a great fit. I don't think Weathertech offers a true, custom fit for the 2010 9-3, or perhaps discontinued.
In the front, they are contoured perfectly. The lip of the mats fits perfectly under the edge of the center console, leaving no carpet exposed on that side. However they do leave about 1" of carpet exposed on the side along the doors, which is unfortunate b/c that's where you are (or in my case, the mother in law) going to catch a muddy shoe while getting out. But these will no doubt be superior to OEM rugs. The rears also fit snugly.
As Swedespeed mentions, the snaps that hold the mats in place can be replaced with those from the OEM mats. Maxpider uses a threaded two-piece snap, while the OEMs are a two piece friction fit that has to be pried apart.
Only nit to pick would be the "3D" emblem that is riveted firmly on to the Maxpiders. Just gives it a bit of an aftermarket, Fast-n-Furious look.
Cheers-
