CocoMats - photoshopped

I am considering CocoMats for my car so i did a real
quick rough photoshop of what they might look like.

Anyone have any (real) photos of their Porsches with CocoMats ?

If that's the color of coco mat you're looking for, your photoshop does a pretty good job of showing how they would look. I have Lloyd's in my car, but have been thinking about the cocos for some time...

CocoMats

I will play with it some more.

CocoMat.com website says they will send samples that I can check out.
Does not however state the size of the samples.

The solid Mats always seem to show sand and stuff, I thought these might be the answer.
A lot of people swear by them.

Black/Natural and Brown/Natural

Any Pics ?
Would love to see how they look and how they held up.

There is a youtube video of Jay Leno interviewing the Company owner as well as a PCA youtube interview.

LOVE coco mats. Have solid black in the 70 and black with blue "pebbles" in the 88. The new ones are not like the old ones of 30-40 years ago. More solid with rubber backing so dirt does not go through to the carpet.

I think black with the red spots is the way to go.

Mine look the above.....almost brand new....bullet proof. The rest of the car is lite weight RS grey carpet....I had killed the driver side within 3 months and installed the cocos over the top.

Yes, they are heavy......but they take all the abuse I give it. Take them out beat on them like a redheaded step kid.....and toss em back in. Once a year they get a bath of Dawn and high pressure spritz from a hose. Drip dry and back in.

The samples from Cocomat are approximately 2" x 3" and the folks at Cocomat will take the time to answer all of your questions and are very helpful. I haven't been on their site in a while, but there used to be a pretty good photo gallery with examples.

I've had sets in both of my cars and while they are not cheap, they really can take a beating and look great.

I'll vouch for their customer service. I ordered a set for my 928 last year and they didn't fit quite right. Emailed them, got an immediate response. They asked me to take some pictures and trace a pattern to show where the problem spots were. They sent me a prepaid mailer to return the set and then returned a corrected set within a week.

I got the black with red dots which looks perfect with the Guards Red exterior and black interior.

Black with red dots is what I ordered last night. Should look good with my Black car and lobster interior.

Here are the red ones I had in a 68' agree with everyone else and wish I had not used black Lloyd mats in my 89'

I have had a set for several years. No visible wear; a little dusty at the moment. They are a very high quality product, and surprisingly heavy. I have them over a simple rubber mat bought from our host. I take the coco mats out on track days. Both mats are bombproof and highly recommended. (Sorry wasn't able to upload images)

I vote for the brown with the gold dots, seems to better match your dark brown dash and add a contrast with the seats. Looks like I'm going to make the plunge now too.
