Had this over on Defyants S55 mats thread, and he suggested I start a new thread, which is a good idea as my post was buried a couple of pages into it.
Guys, just bumping this to the top after speaking with Rich last week and asking him about getting some custom mats from his company for my MM. These would be perfect!
FYI, I put away my original (thin) OEM mats for shows, and bought some of the rubber Mercury ones from Ray, and they are OK, but after a year I have already worn a hole through them with my heel.
All the ones for sale have those rubber nibs that tear up your carpet and aren't distinctive in any way regardless. The CM ones don't have that and look a hell of a lot heavier to boot.
Let's get some interest going on these. Is anyone else in for a set? These would really set off the interior I think. Everything else from CM has been top quality, so I don't see why these would be any different.
Post here if interested so Rich can get an idea of the volume. I will be glad to prepay for a set if that helps.
Thanks!
Norm
P.S. I'm cutting & pasting a couple of Rich's posts together so you can get an idea of the description and some pics. I think some folks were interested in getting the red piping on the mat and either an S55 (my vote) or GH emblem such as that on the UHI. Don't want to make more work for folks, but if you had something specific in mind mentioned in the other thread, you could probably paste it over here.
From Rich:
"CAR Motorsports is prepared to do a group purchase on Custom Embroidered MARAUDER Floor Mats featuring "S55" Emblem Embroidery. You will have a full line of Color Options available both in the Floor Mats, the Surging around the edge, and the S55 Embroidery. You design your custom Floor Mats.
