Herb Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 OK Guys, So checked pricing, dealer price in UK as well as over here for the front carpet is more than 1K. So I am currently working on pricing from Japan and shipping costs. Another alternative is for us to produce a good quality floor carpet ourselves. Like we do for the floor mats. They would be imitation but good fit and quality plus less expense. I would like to hear people's thoughts on this, as OEM will obviously not be cheap. Very interested in a self produced carpet. Your floor mats are beautiful, so you would be the man to do a black carpet replica! Depending on price I'd be in for a carpet replica and also a set of floor mats. How much you think would be such a carpet replica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Difference in costs is key on this one, if there's not much difference then OEM may be better. Would the replica offer any benefits such as being lighter? Or for those who have changed seats/mounts, allowing us to have a fully carpeted option to cover holes for OEM bolts?

Callaway Motorsport Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Im confused, is this thread for a black OEM carpet? or a replica? Japans prices is £450quid for a black OEM carpet, you said yours would be cheaper than this, i assumed for an OEM one? OEM Yes, but I am looking into possibilities of making a good quality replica and i Am still trying to get a good price on shipping to make it worth while. Obviously it's already half price of what's being asked over here. So that helps anyway. Ill scrap that idea that's way more than I was expecting. I am not selling the 1K ones obviously, as roc said. It would be for £450 or something less if possible! Very interested in a self produced carpet. Your floor mats are beautiful, so you would be the man to do a black carpet replica!

This allows you to place your old carpet on top and make the holes and if need be Mod where needed to your requirements. This also makes for a cleaner look.

Herb Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sounds interesting. Please keep us updated. Don't want to cut the holes on my own so think I would be more interested in a OEM black carpet at the right price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway Motorsport Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 It sounds worse than it is, and it's pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes the replica more interesting for me, I have custom brackets that have left the OEM holes showing - bolting through the carpet is an easy job! Would you be able to make the replica carpet lighter than the original, or is it too early to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway Motorsport Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 For OEM carpets we are still working on the shipping cost. Getting. Good deal etc. Also still looking into getting high quality replicas made. Will update as soon as more is known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway Motorsport Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Bump, Info update, Costs per carpet will be 600 GBP all inclusive if we get up to about 3/5 orders. It will be about cheaper if we get more for combining shipping. I am not making any money on this and am just looking to help everyone out that wants a new one. Take note, that shipping from japan would cost an easy 300 or more just for the carpet when ordering yourself. I would like to hear serious interest only, this is not a cheap option, but its a cheaper OEM NEW option rather than buying local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm still interested, how would we pay, cash, PayPal or card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway Motorsport Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Paypal would be the way. I am still looking into this and will propose a groupbuy soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
