RE: [DML] DMCH Floor mats

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had the DMCH floor mats and, frankly, they just
didn't really work that well for me.  "Bunching" up
was the problem.  

However, let me jump into the color of the mats
discussion.  I've had two D's; one was the grey
(gray?) interior, and the other (my current 83) is the
black and grey/gray.  Now, since the purpose of floor
mats is to protect the floor carpet, I cannot imagine
why anyone would ever get anything other than black. 
The grey/gray mats would look just as bad as no mats
at all.  

Look at the rubber insert on the drivers side.  It is
black.  Well, sure, you say, rubber is black..  Heck,
in in 1981 you could get grey/gray rubber.  Yes, black
is the way to go.  Personal preference, I know!

BTW, the DOA (Dreaded Other Association) is now
offering some very nice looking mats.  I just got
mine.  They are VERY thick  rubber backed and appear
to be just what is needed.  I must admit that they
have just been installed and I cannot say how they
will wear, but I will keep you informed.
