356 Speedster Floor Mats

Since you have a CMC or Fiberfab, you might just have to make a paper template, buy some carpet from Home Depot, and take them some where to get piping added.  However, since your car is on a VW pan, you might be able to get some carpet mats from Vintage.  Vintage probably comes stock with carpet mats.  Another idea would be to create a paper template and communicate with the guy from cocoa mats and see if he could whip you up some carpet ones.  He probably would.  Finally, Carey Hines from Special Edition might have a recommendation of where to go.  Beck mats won't fit yours, though.

These are not necessarily cheap but have the right shape. http://www.mamotorworkstv.com/...el--4-Pieces-321201/

You're probably better off finding an upholstery shop in your area and checking with them. I started off with some heavy backed carpet, cut it myself and took it to an upholstery shop to have the edges bound. It was relatively inexpensive (~$75) and lasted a good 2 years.

2 years ago, I replaced them with the Coco mats and I really prefer the Coco but it all comes down to personal preference.

so is there a reason why a vw bug set wont work??it's the rear that was choped.

^^none that I can think of. It's a bug!

Bought a set of VW mats from Auto Anything and the driver side was just about perfect, it would have worked.  Passenger side was about 11" too long in the front and the shape was not close.  It was squared off and bent toward the center of car.  I figured the same thing, VW - why not.  Didn't work.

well my fiberfab floor  is the same as my bug.go figure?

 posiably craig got some from a super.my bug is identicle to my 356 in that aera, execpt for some bugs have a foot rest(piece of tin angled for your foot to rest on, go,s from the tunnel to the side,super was a diferent shape there)

This is what the VW mats looked like:

That passenger side mat is the one listed as Beetle with kickpanel. If you get the one for a Beetle without the kickpanel in the link I posted above, it should be a perfect fit.

Won't beetle mats be long because of the shortened pan?

Not the front mats.  Any rear seat mats would not fit, but since the cutting is behind the front seats, their floor area isn't affected.

56Speedster,

Thanks.  I took a look at the link and that will work, however right now they are out of stock.  I'll keep checking with them.

Go to Pep Boys, Walmart, etc. and buy a set of floor mats that are too big.  Cut to size and take them to a carpet store to have the edges bound.  That way you will have the non-skid surface that is on the underside of floormats, the right material and not alot of bucks. 

or you could add the "kick" pannel/foot rest and use the funkey shaped one.

Send them an email or call them. Due to the number of colors available, they may just special order them for you and you will get them sooner than waiting for them to get some in stock.

CoCo mats is the way to go.  http://www.cocomats.com

I second what Whit said.   

CoCo Mats has outstanding customer service. I also have coco mats in my Fiat..

When I saw the Coco Mats guy at Carlisle I commented that I wish the heel pad was farther forward. They sent me a new mat with the change.

There is a whole string of comments on Coco Mats from back in mid-March of last year if you want to research. Nobody has anything bad to say about Coco Mats and Drew the owner. Mine are a year old and are like brand new. I wouldn't get mats like this from anybody else.

I had mine done that way when I ordered them in '04. Still going strong; good stuff.

I can't believe you commented on the heel pad being too far back..... That is exactly how mine we're.  I didnt think to call but I remember thinking it was annoying.  I had a great experience with Coco Mats regardless.  The quality of the product is outstanding and they are great to deal with....

The Coco Mat guy is at Carlisle?

Where does he usually set up?  I may just have to pay him a visit!

He was there last year. I don't know if he will be there this year.

He was set up in the aisle splitting the import cars running perpendicular from the stage area out to the entrance drive.

Since someone brought it up, when is the Carlisle week for foreign cars going to be in 2013?

Egg-xactly the same weekend as the Kit Car show:  May 17-19

If you call them, they will send you samples to try in your car. They seem to really care about you getting a perfect match for your car. When I bought them for my wife's Mazda the samples were very helpful because the colors we originally chose would not have been as good as the ones we finally chose.

Thanks for reminding me of this fact, Al. I seem to remember Drew offering this to me last year when I inquired of him and his product. Since then, I still haven't made up my mind...time to give him a call for some samples to help me figure it out.

Rich...are you totally down from your trip ? Finish off the thing, dood....We need pics, highlights and commentary...

David, you're hitting me on every channel! Hang in there man! I've got a full plate these days. You wouldn't believe how many of you guys are tugging at me for one thing or another...words, pictures, humor. You name it. My head is spinning for an old retired dude! I'm even doing the weather forecast for Tom Blankinship!
