The S2000's floor mats looking a bit rough after 9 years (partly because my wife drives it in stiletto heels sometimes), so I ordered a new set of OEM's via Amazon. I picked red to brighten things up because the all black interior looks like the inside of a radiator hose. Alas, the red is not all that bright, almost brownish. She installed them right away and she's happy and that's what counts, I guess.

 

They shouldn't be brownish, I wonder if they are actually oem? Did they come in Honda packaging with part numbers?

 

Red S2000 floor mats are DEFINITELY not supposed to be "brownish". They may either not be OEM, or not be new.

We'll need pics. Both of the mats, and of course your wife in the stilettos

 

Shoot! Wife immediately installed, packaging gone. I'll look underneath the mats for Honda part #'s. For $159/pair, they BETTER be OEM!

EDIT: From Amazon's item description:

S2000 '00-07

• Genuine OEM
• Direct fit
• Color Code: R145L
• Genuine Honda Parts 83600-S2A-A01ZB Floor Mat Set

 

You should contact the seller and find out if they are genuine. I checked the reviews and 3 people seemed to be satisfied, maybe you just got a bad set?

 

Post some pics. Do they look like this?

 

Are those the NRG ones? I also bought the same set in black.
