I'm thinking of getting a set of the Cocomats but want to make sure they'll look OK. I've seen some of the photos people have posted here in other threads. But I'm looking for some more to give me an idea of color/patterns on various carpet colors.

I used to have a pair just like that.

Prefer Loyds custom mats for a "perfect" fit.

http://www.cocomats.com/ I picked up a set from this vendor. Fantastic quality. He will send you samples too. I'll post a shot for you tomorrow. This sissal is also a nice style matt.

I like this look, your interior is same as mine.

Posted by: tod914 Jan 27 2009, 05:23 PM

I was debating on that or the red dot. Ended up being a coin toss. lol.

I think the black and grey dot would look great in my charcoal grey loop interior. I have a pair of custom black ones, but I would like something to lighten up the interior. I love the interior without the mats but need to protect the carpet.

Tod, did you buy the custom or universal fit?

Posted by: tod914 Jan 28 2009, 09:29 AM

Have to go with the custom for the 914's. He was saying the universal are too short to use in our cars.

Posted by: Root_Werks Jan 28 2009, 11:22 AM

Last 914 I had.

Thanks for all the responses.

I just ordered the custom mats in black with grey dot.

Jeff at Cocomats is very helpful.

Posted by: Pat Garvey Feb 3 2009, 07:24 PM

I still have a pair. 34's! Saving them for my 40th college reunion, though I may have to lose another 20 pounds. Still have a pair of platforms too. Last worn in 74. Oh yeah baby, I was HOT!

Kaywoodie pipe, hot chick, platforms & a PCA concours trophy!

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack.

Continue with the cocoamat stream. Sorry, caught up in the moment.

I'm thinking of ordering a set of Coco Mats. This thread has some useful info. Cocomats.com now offers both short & long mats for the passenger side for a 914 (as discussed above).

I'm curious to hear from others who have the Long mats - the ones that wrap up against the firewall. Do they stay in place? Do you have any issues with the mats sliding or doubling over?

Thanks

Posted by: Root_Werks Jan 19 2011, 12:40 PM

I like this combo, I have tan interior and will probably get the same. Looks good!

Posted by: Scott Schroeder Jan 19 2011, 01:56 PM

Sorry for the crappy pic - I have the black with tan/gold dots in the speedster. I was going to replace them with the correct rubber floor coverings, but they are kind of growing on me.

I had a black set in my early GTI that I simply beat the cr@p out of (snow, dirt, etc). I was shocked at how well they always cleaned up. Other than some wear on the heel pad, they looked damn near new after close to 10 years of use.

Flip, they stay in place perfectly. No issues with them drooping or sagging over after 3 years. The one's sold at some of the large volume part places are not of the same quality. Spend the extra $20 or so and get pair that last a long time.

Posted by: zonedoubt Jan 19 2011, 04:55 PM

No flipping or flopping on the ones I bought from CocoMats. They are heavy and stay put. Plus they smell nice.

Posted by: jsayre914 Jan 19 2011, 05:17 PM

Get the long one, it is a nice fit and dosnt go anywhere

Posted by: rascobo Jan 20 2011, 09:33 PM

Just thought I'd toss this out there,

Gary Emory at: www.partsobsolete.com

has a nice selection of NOS. cocomats in stock for anyone wanting originals.

These mats are awesome...and do not move a bit. Well worth every penny. Only downside is you need a few exra horsepower--they are heavy.

Posted by: flipb Mar 15 2011, 08:40 AM

I ordered Sisal mats in a brown color that I thought would match my (brown/mahogany) interior. IMHO, they look like they could be OEM. Very happy with the quality and fit.

Posted by: tod914 Mar 15 2011, 08:50 AM

Very nice Flip. Made a great choice.

Interior on your car looks great!

Red and black

Posted by: tumamilhem Apr 24 2013, 06:04 PM

So after much research and comparing on a few sites, I finally found something I'm happy with.

I got red with white dot Cocomats to match the paint on my car. Mats were custom fit and fit perfectly. Passenger side mat goes up a couple inches, not all the way up in the foot well where it can sag over. Mats have rubber spikes (or whatever you call them) on the bottom so they don't slide. Very happy with they way they look.

I'm coco for Cocomats!

Posted by: damesandhotrods Apr 24 2013, 06:12 PM

So whose are they?

Posted by: tumamilhem Apr 25 2013, 06:54 AM

they're mine! you mean where i got them from? cocomats.com.

Posted by: 914Sixer Apr 25 2013, 04:23 PM

I had them in a daily driver for about a year. They ate the rear part of my right shoe. It looked like I used a wire brush on it.

Posted by: tumamilhem Apr 25 2013, 04:34 PM

I was afraid of that. I have some very nice, very expensive shoes. But there's a large rubber pad in my mat where feet go. I'm hoping that will be protection enough. It's something I'll always be very conscious of anyway.

Posted by: Mike Fitton Apr 11 2014, 08:00 AM

These are mine from cocomats.com in their sisal material with black trim.

Posted by: tumamilhem Apr 12 2014, 09:18 AM

Those look very nice with the tan interior! Just a few shades lighter from the carpet, it gives a nice contrast to the interior.

Posted by: mepstein Apr 12 2014, 09:35 AM

I bought my pair from Garald at Hershey for $ 20. No brainer. I had some stains in the oem carpet so the mats worked perfectly.

Posted by: pete000 Apr 12 2014, 01:44 PM

Love my new Cocoa mats, they are heavy but well made and do not slide around !
