Hi, I just got myself some 914 dealer accessory coco mats NOS with tags. Just had shipped from California to north west England. Not sure if the green goes with brown interior and Summer Yellow paint or not. What do you think?

What dealer accessories do you have? I also have the black and silver front grille trim, hood vinyl mask and 5.5 optional steels.

Lenny - that's a highly personal opinion best left to your eyes & tastes.

I had the OE Porsche ones initially in my 73 soon after I bought it as 2nd owner in Dec. 75, but by the time they wore out, they were NLA in any color I wanted, so I went to aftermarket.

If you decide that this color OEM ones isn't to your liking, then you can still get excellent fit, rubber backed ones in different colors to suit your tastes (e.g.: brown or black with yellow flecks, etc.) at CoCo Mats -

http://www.cocomats.com/

.... & you can order samples of what they offer to color check them in your car first.

The above is also an FYI for others looking for that vintage 60's - 70's look! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

A few words of warning though about those coco mats in general, is that they wear the heck out of your shoe heels - especially polished leather, & they are not too comfortable on bare feet & heels either!

If they'd had plush ones back in the day, then I would've done those instead for the comfort of driving - & will today, but I may get coco mats again now to put in there for non-PCA car shows (note that all non-stock car mats etc. which are removable must come out for judging at PCA Concours in most/all Zones).

They're a SoCal thing ya know! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Cheers Mate & Congratz on the NOS vintage score! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
