WTB.... coco mats..., My car (and budget) ok with used. Options

[BuddyV]

I could use a set of mats.... never tried coco mats. Do you have a set sitting on the shelf that you haven't been using?

My budget is more in the "used" range, so putting the request out there. Considering I will be putting my dirty shoes on them, maybe used is OK??

I know that I have a lot in storage that I never get around to using..... let me know if you have a set. Curious to see what you might have (color combo, etc.)

Cheers!

Hey Buddy,

Just a caution not to wear dress or other polished shoes with coco mats (nor Sisal) cuz they'll wear off the finish/color on the heels & sides in short order by rubbing on the mats. Back in the day when my 914 was my DD, I had to take off my dress shoes for work in order to not show up to a biz meeting with scuffed up shoes - NOT a good impression!

The ones with rubber heel pads help, but shoes can still get scuffed heels & sides if you rest your feet in the other areas.

If you don't find a set of used or NOS ones cheap, then you might sign up for cocomats.com & the various other coco/sisal mat makers' email lists for sales.

Another option which is much more comfortable for both shoes & barefootin' are the plush carpet mats from Lloyd & others - which also may be some available used/NOS from members, or do the emails sale thing from SMC, AA, etc. when they have sales on them.

... or Berber like Mike's set, or loop pile - but neither is as cushy as plush - but it's what you want for your footies.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
