im glad there is so much contrast between the two resultskraig you are my hero if you get this thing going...if not your just a jerk!
Don't be disappointed if he tells you what he told me back in late 2008 (see post #45 in this thread).
1. He's out of P-Tan and MNB carpet stock.
2. P-Tan and MNB were custom colors ordered in large quantities from one of the mills that supplies his carpet, he can't purchase small quantities of carpet in these colors. The minimum order he can make, per color, will make 120 complete sets of mats. That's an awful lot of initial investment and inventory carrying cost for Grant to absorb so there can be a CEG group buy of 10 sets or so every few years. I'm not trying to piss in anyone's Cornflakes, but I think I know what the answer's going to be.
I already made inquiries to several different aftermarket mat suppliers who have a Contour Sport mat pattern and will do custom embroidery. I suspect most of these shops operate on very slim margins, and the most discount I was offered for a group purchase was $10 per set, and most would not drop ship individual orders, they wanted to ship all the group buy mat sets to me, and then I would have to re-box and re-ship them. That much work is way outside what I'll do for saving $10.
Most of the mat suppliers will send you sample swatches of their carpet colors, perhaps you can find something similar to P-Tan and MNB in someone's inventory, I would check with Vanmats, mentioned earlier in the thread by me, Autovation, and also with the various vendors of Lloyds custom mats, found here, http://www.lloydmats.com/links2.htm
My suggestion would be to find a mat set you like, specify the color and embroidery that pleases you, whip out your CC and buy them, that's what I did, got some very nice Lloyds mats last year. This interest check thread is now 2 years old and nothing's happened - am not busting anyone's chops, it's just the way things are.

ok guys heres the email i got back
Hi Kraig,
Sorry but the CEG mats were a close out program using up carpet from a large Contour mat program a few years earlier. Both carpet colors have been gone for quite a while ending the program.

So where can I get nice floor mats? I tried to get just the front through the above website but it said I HAD to purchase the 30 dollar logo to get them. I don't know if I wanna do that but I want a good mat.

post in the classifieds or look around there...ebay has some.
if your looking for svt ones in mint condition expect to pay a big price tag.

Ummm... did you ever try doing what I suggested earlier in this thread???
CSVT#49 said:I contacted Autovation and they said they would be willing to do this if someone could provide them dimensions... hell I would just send them in the mats so they can duplicate them. Here is a response I got from them in an email...
Anthony@Autovation said:We can do the SVT logo on mats as well. Here is the dark blue we could do the mats in:
Do you have the dimensions of the floor mats?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Hey, let's contact Grant at Falcon Enterprises and see if he can make some mats for us!
You can also click "Purchase Plain Mat" and get them without embriodery, which someone groused about a few posts up.
You guys are amazing, you all seem to want someone else to do all the legwork to save you $10 on floor mats for your 10+ year old hoopties. There have been at least 4 links provided in this thread where you can buy Contour mat sets in numerous colors, custom embriodered or not, and a few weeks after you click "Order", they will magically appear on your doorstep courtesy of the Man in Brown.
What a pathetic bunch, I'm done here.

WTF man
i'm not worried about saving 10 dollars on floor mats i just want some new "stock" looking ones in MNB. I'm getting new ones regardless and i'm probably just going through autoanything with the svt logo...not sure why you have to post stuff like that and look like a douchebag about it. I was just showing other people the route i'm going. try a little harder to not be such an ass next time:shrug:

Grant at Falcon Enterprises does not sound or read anything like Anthony Hensley at AutoVation Technologies, Inc.
