Coco mats
 
I've got them on the same color (seal grey) with metropol blue interior. +I really like the look. I forget where I got them but I did find a link thru this site

I got a set in May and really love them (I had a set in my 914). This is the site I ordered from Welcome To Cocomats.com

Mine are black with grey dots (in a 2000 base).

I emailed them and they responded immediately. Great customer service and they even gave a military discount.

I'm also considering these mats. Can anyone say how they fit?

lkchris 12-10-2015 10:06 AM

They fit perfectly.

Note that the Velcro pads for the passenger side are an optional extra charge. The mats are so heavy they may not be needed.

I love my coco mats! I suggest them for sure!

Finnegan 12-10-2015 11:25 AM

Exellent! I ordered a pair of blue and black Chequers. So classy!

rexcramer 12-10-2015 03:02 PM

I have a set that came with the car and I really like them. They have a really thick backing that is dimpled and they stay in place. The fit is great. Not a complaint, but an observation, is that they break down over time. I suspect that mine may be as old as the car. My mats are black and tan. The black fibers really build up on the edges and standout against the gray carpet. The driver side mat is starting to come apart and will need
replacing soon. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1449791953.jpg

I was looking at the Cocomats.com site a few weeks ago. Got to wondering... are they coarse on bare feet? They have a few different types of material, I know.

I drive barefoot everywhere I go never have had a problem. That being said my left foot is either on the dead pedal or the clutch.

I didn't think that was legal.

rexcramer 12-11-2015 02:54 PM

I thought it was illegal also. Much to my surprise Wikipedia/Barefoot/way down the page/ clearly suggests otherwise.

Some people speculate that driving barefoot increases the risk of an accident if bare feet slip off the pedals.[111] It is legal throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom to drive barefoot.[111][112][113] However, in some US jurisdictions, police officers may ticket a driver for other things if the fact that they were driving barefoot or in flip-flops/high heeled shoes hindered their driving and/or resulted in an accident.[114]

It must be true. It's on the internet.

BIGJake111 12-11-2015 03:39 PM

Haha i would imagine barefoot is much better than flip flops or shoes where the heel catches when releasing the clutch.

Pnut 12-11-2015 05:19 PM

I've got numerous pairs of "clown shoes", primarily Docs and Keens, that are a bi-yatch to drive in. Plenty of clutch stumbles and curses till I acclimate, only to repeat when I revisit with proper footwear. Kinda like how Putt-Putt plays havoc on your golf game.

Jake has clown feet
What are they size 14?

sadly, In tennis shoes yes, sperries are 13s though.

particlewave 12-11-2015 05:57 PM

I guess I'll be the odd man out. I think they look weird, haha :D
At $180, they better be made of unicorn hair with 24k gold trim.
I'll stick with OEM.

coco mats
 
If you get them from the original coc mats they will never come apart like the picture shows,these are reproduction mats im sure.There are so many knockoffs out there you wouldn't believe.order them from coco mats direct

BIGJake111 12-12-2015 05:56 AM

Mine do show no wear. Probably my favorite "feature" is that any really small dirt bits and such that might be brought into the car get lost in the texture and weave of the mats. You have to clean way less often then with carpet.

Now I got the car with the Mats and I don't think adding them would be a top priority otherwise.

They really work for me though as the black and yellow goes perfect with the car considering the car is yellow with a black hardtop, has yellow stitching and belts, and the darker supple leather seats. So it's just one more thing to add to the cars color scheme.

Another urban myth along with having your interior lights on while driving at night.

Legitimate Cocomats
 
In response to Jimbo409; Cocomat moved to Florida in 2006. In their defense, mine are from Florida and probably going on 10 years old. Nothing lasts forever. The passenger side is in perfect shape and I will just replace the driver side in the near future.

My mats arrived the other day, and I am very pleased with them! They fit great, feel thick and sturdy, and look nice!
