Red floor mats

Post by Roadbug »

My 1966 VW came with RED rubber floor mats (Ribbed). After 44 years of use and 44 years of Florida summer heat, they are brittle and ugly.
Question: Does anyone make the reproductions in any color other than black? Who?, Where? and are you happy with them?
I hate do start customizing it at this stage, stock is good enough for me.

According to that guy on Samba, you can take the gray ones and dye them red with vinyl dye. I'm going to give it a try.

I'd love a set of grey for a RHD - rarer than hen's teeth in these parts and repro's are all LHD :( :( :(

Alex. :lol:
