Anyone tried carmatscustoms diamond mats? ..

seems like a pretty good deal for the price ($194.50 shipped).

If so, pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Leather floor mats...
Seems like a bad idea to me.

Not leather - faux leather...

- more like vinyl. Matches our faux suede seats. Actually probably makes more sense than carpet if you like the look. Can understand if it's not everyone's cup of tea - I'm not even sure it's mine.

It sort of undermines the whole theme of our cars (function over form) - but you can do both.

thicc86 was touting the Manicci brand of these on IG and they looked good enough to take a chance on and I ordered a complete set. Look about the same as the link you posted and I'd imagine there are less factories making these than brand names advertising them. For the sub $200 price, including shipping, I figured worst case scenario would be having a set as templates for a local upholstery shop. To my surprise the quality is quite good and I've had these for a few thousand miles without any wear/tear. Fitment is great and the rears were free to add and I certainly wasn't expecting what I received. (I think the top of the rear mats are supposed to be tucked under the butt of the rear seats but I haven't slid the seats forward since to do so) No complaints so far and easy to clean. Manicci typically has a 20% off digital coupon in the upper right hand corner of their site. Took about two months to get due to CV19 shipping/customs delays.

Edit: Material is vinyl.

Got them for my wife's car last Christmas. She absolutely loves them.

Looks like a lot of 60s sports car interiors. Alfa, Ferrari and Aston Martin et Al.

Do these reduce interior noise by any significant amount?

My real concern is durability.
I doubt these would last very long if you need to actually put weight on them getting in and out of the car.

They're pretty stout. I was thinking the same until I saw them. Not ready to make any long-term predictions. Just happy that they're tougher than I expected.
