Reproduction red floor mats from Parts Place inc
« on: May 02, 2017, 01:35:20 PM »
I have been eyeing these on Ebay and was wondering if anyone on here had purchased  set.  The shape is correct for a 65, and looking on the computer screen, the color looks to be dead on with the NOS ones I have in the rear floors of my 65.  If anyone has a set of these, does the color match up well with the pic online and look correct in your red interior?  What about the material--is it similar to the originals in texture and flexibility?  Are you satisfied with the purchase?   
  It is a lot to spend on floor mats and want to make sure I am getting something I can use, and not something that is going to be un-satisfactory and end up stashed away in my parts room.

I bought a set from The PP last year for my red on red '65 GS. They match perfectly and seem to be of better quality than the set I bought from Cars Inc.

Hmm, hard to tell for sure, but the ones in your car look darker than the NOS ones I have in the back seat floors in my car.  I attached a pic of one of my NOS ones next to one out of the set I got from Legendary many years ago when they reproduced these--they obviously were the wrong color and were promptly returned.

I purchased a set a couple of months ago

I feel the color of the picture is very close to what I took home.

If you want me to I can post a picture of them in my car.

Note: I did have to trim near the gas pedal for a better fit.

Thanks, Randy

Yes, another pic of some in a car would be great Randy!  The more pics I see, the better I can judge the color

I ordered the mats off Ebay from The Parts Place since they were on sale.  I am very pleased with them so far, but don't have them in the car yet.  Will post a pic of one of the rear ones compared to the rear NOS ones I have later on.   
  Just a warning out to anyone that buys these, they sent them UPS with signature required, so it was a MAJOR hassle for me to get them into my hands since there is no one home to sign for them when UPS runs where I live.
