Please pardon me if this has been covered - I couldn't find anything with a number of searches.

I have a BB CR for which I'd love a pair of mats which cover the cross member (before that carpet gets distressed). I like the Muz mats that I've seen, but I want gold piping and logos - not an option (for a fairly obvious reason - the CR represents ~1% of the S2000s sold). Has anyone ever ordered, from them or elsewhere, a set of mats in a custom (or CR) color scheme?

 

I guess I have my answer in the absence of answers.

All black works - might look pretty slick. I also discovered a 6th group buy of the European LHD 4-piece sets - very nice. Only 2 names are on that list right now with about 20 names listed as interested. That's a curious game - I wonder how rapidly the list will fill out once the halfway point is crossed?

So, I now have a choice. In fact, if I'm sticking with solid black, Rick's Wilton Wool also come into play. If I had the red & black interior I've always wanted, I'd have even another really cool option in the ASM mats. There's a friggin' embarrassment of riches when it comes to practically any aftermarket (or other market - Euro, in this case) part for this car.

Honda's done making S2000s; I hope the aftermarket remains strong into the next decade. I think there's a pretty good chance that will happen.

Long live the S2K!

Oh, by the way, I found a better sub-forum for the initial question - in the marketplace section.

 

I just received my Ricks mats the nylon set for $170, its really well made. Thicker and has the heel pad, unlike the stock mats.

I can take photos if you need them. Not sure if you want to go nylon or wool....

 

mine were black on black, but I have tan interior so, can really color scheme anything beside black or tan..

I can assure you ricks mats are really well made, but from my understanding they don't offer as much color schemes as muz mats.

 

get the Muz seriously superb!!
pm him to see if he can do what u want.

 

Maybe my experience wasn't typical but I originally ordered my Muz matz with yellow piping and the stitching on the piping was very poorly done. Muz was willing to replace the piping with black (less noticeable) but I did have to pay for shipping back to Oz. Based on that experience, I wouldn't recommend the colored piping on Muz mats. Otherwise, the mats have been great.

 

Thanks for the responses so far (and for any which may be forthcoming).

The only thing I don't like about Rick's (and I'm trying to remember if it only applied to the wool version) mat design is that it apparently attempts to hide the hump in the floor. This may sound weird, but I like the unapologetic intrusion to the footwell (the car has what it needs to have where it needs to have it in order to be one stiff structure) - I'd hate to hide it. I have Rick's S badging on my car and I really like it - I only wish it were available in CR gold. I should have his visor covers on my car, but I had a senior moment when I placed my order. Another order is in my future.

Shipping to the land downunder ain't cheap - thanks for the head's up. If I order the Muz mats, they would be all black. This is the first negative thing I've read about them, but you did qualify that with praise for the quality of the mat itself.

I haven't PMed the guy, but I did send an email to sales@... and I posted the question here - waiting for a response (but it is the holiday season).

It's a shame the US-spec cars have half mats - apparently inferior in feel as well. If they came with the Euro-spec mats, I wouldn't be looking for replacements. It's really picking nits though - I love this little car. It's such a blast to drive!

 

I had a set of custom colored Muz Prestige mats. The trim was white and the carpet was black. The S logos were pre-made, so I couldn't get a custom color for that. After spending the hefty sum for carpets, I still couldn't really tell a difference. It is nicer when you feel it with your hands (but who's going to feel footwell carpet?), but it's not visually better.

 

8 years old,still looking like new.

 

I think this might help you - I have a full CR interior in my GPW and the mats are from MUZ and I had the exterior trim custom done.
