MB floor mat stock/repro comparison

[biminiLX]

These are of the Falcon repros, my originals w/ 13,000mi., and a good stock mat with unknown mileage.
First 2 are (in order) older mat, low mileage, then repro w/ and w/o flash:

next repro vs. stock

OEMs:

Nice!

They look alright... but I like the way the OEMs look better.

The repros actually match the carpet in my '99 SVT better. They are also thicker carpet and are high quality. I like my originals the best but these will be a good daily use alternative.
And I'm not a mat hoarding guy, sold the nice higher mileage ones to a member here.
I had all the mats together and thought it'd be a good comparison, but they are difficult to capture well on camera.

The Falcon mats are definitely high quality stuff. For a 98 they are not the best color match, but they go perfect with 98.5-00.

Now go take a picture of your cars carpet with flash on and off so people can see how it compares to the mats and then make this thread a sticky icky!

I have the Prairie Tan Falcon repros and I like the way the SVT is a bit larger and lighter silver. It makes it stand out a little more.

And where might one find these Falcon mats? I'm in need of some replacements and can't seem to find them anywhere.

Nice. They look great. I'll have to get me a set of P-Tan.

Hey Bimini,

How does the underside of the repros compare in quality to the OEM?

 

[biminiLX]

Underside is OEM quality, hard to tell a difference.
I'll get some pics once I clean her up this weekend.

Hey Bimini,

How does the underside of the repros compare in quality to the OEM?

BETTER than OEM quality. The grips are bigger and stronger. The mats don't slide around like OEM because of the weight. I noticed with the OEM mats that the grips break off a little at a time as they get older.
