Re: [DML] DMCH Floor mats

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are geeks aren't we - biggest thread of the week is floor mats! 

Anyway  - the real, original, concours-correct factory DMC floor mats 
are pretty unique. The are wool, they also shed like crazy at least 
when new, but the really unique part is that the lettering is dyed-in-
the-wool (I couldn't resist). In other words the fuzzy part is black 
with the DMClogo in (or grey) wool with the same texture as the rest 
of it. All the aftermarket ones I've seen are simply embrodered 
thread on plain black or grey carpeting. Unless someone has come up 
with a replacement, which at this point would probably be frightfully 
expensive, these have not been reproduced. A lot of people have the 
original mats and use them everyday without realizing that they are 
pretty irreplaceable. 

Also - I have never seen "factory original" mats in other than black.
