Just installed new coco mats

Hi All,

I just got some new coco mats from cocomats.com. Here's some pics in case anyone's interested...

Before, with black porsche logo mats (which are a little dirty - should have vacuumed them first):



No mats, after vacuuming. It looks a bit empty in there with no mats:



And with my new coco mats:



I think the new coco mats looks great! They give the car a slightly retro feel, without looking out of place. I read somewhere in this forum about coco mats coming with a strong rubber smell, but these smell great - quite fragrant in fact, and not at least bit rubbery. As regards weight, they do weigh more than the black mats I took out, but really were only talking about a couple of pounds. And they don't move at all - it's such a relief to not have to reach down periodically and tug the mat out from under the pedals!

I've had my Coco Mats for about 4 years now and I love 'em. They hold the dirt, clean easily and don't move around like the cheapo Lloyd's mats did...

Love them Coco's. For a few months, the car smelled like a new car! That was great. They really are well made mats.

They look fine........I plan to get a pair......but your color could be better

your car would be great with the brown with a little bit of black (specs) to match seats and dash

The coco mats look great but have you ordered your matching kaftan to complete the early '70's look?

Wow, everything looks better than those red crest mats. Maybe OK on a red/black car, but not yours.

My coco mats have a black background with red dots. They look great in my red targa with black interior. I'll try to get a picture up soon.

I love cocomats, I have them in my e46 m3, and had them in a couple previous BMWs as well. It is one of the first purchases I will make for my Iris Blue '86 Carrera when I finally get it in my hot little hands. (I have only had the rubber-backed ones from cocomats.com, worth every penny.)

Here are the well worn Coco's I had in my old ( newer then my 911 ) Miata.





I loved them. Still tossing around the idea of getting them for my Carrera

MH911 -It takes a confident man to admit to driving a Miata -jk! Are those real Coco Mats? If so, they do not make that pattern/color anymore unfortunately
