Expectations fully met & exceeded

[John Z Goriup]

It's not often these days that you hear about a product, see it advertised and described without hyperbole, decide to order it, at a reasonable and fair price no less...............and by God, it arrives exactly when promised, exactly as ordered, looks great, fits like a glove, and fulfills every expectation I hoped to find in this product.

I'm talking about my new Coco Mats, from Natural Auto Products in Fort Mills, South Carolina, as advertised in the ESSES. Many of my friends & fellow members have so-called Cocomats from other makers in their various cars, but there's a significant difference in service and the quality and nature of the product. When I made up my mind to purchase them I spoke with Jeff, the proprietor, to finalize color choice, material choice, custom touches, thread color etc. and I can report that they came out exactly as ordered and as I hoped they would and on time and a confirming e-mail with UPS tracking data. The fit and workmanship is prefect, they feel luxurious and the #23 grey Herringbone material gives one the impression that it'll last for all eternity, and the rubber backs are dimpled to firmly lock into the carpeting underneath so they don't move around and foul the pedals ( as my old floor mats annoyingly and dangerously had a habit of doing ).

I couldn't be more pleased with my new mats and enthusiastically and whole heartedly recommend them.

PS: I will order another set soon for my wife's Mercedes,............. as soon as she decides which color she likes best.

Good to know John. We're working on a RHD buy...

Beautiful, John!

There is a big difference between "Sisal" mats and "Coco" mats; the best Porsche and Mercedes-Benz mats back in the day were Sisal like yours appear to be. These German-made Sisal mats were rugged and beautiful, unlike the crummy Coco mats that we bought on the cheap at the local BAP/GEON counter. It's nice to see that someone is making them again. Sisal mats are not only the traditional look in an old-school Porsche; I'm tempted to buy a set for my wife's modern BMW "SAV" to replace the OEM rubber mats, which shed dirt better than the OEM carpet mats for kids and dog-walking but look and feel like they belong in an Unimog.

Just ordered a set of front mats and a matching piece to cover the rear deck(when rear seats folded down). Great guys to work with!

+1 to CoCo mats I went with the "Sisal" material on my 914, Lt. Brown and Tan with black trim and heel pad and they came out perfect. Here is a picture. Will be ordering some for my '71 Targa shortly. cocomats.com I dealt with Drew and mats actually arrived early!

I couldn't agree with you more John.....Drew was a pleasure to deal with. I received mine several weeks ago and they're GREAT....excellent quality and fit.

Here's a photo of mine ....

We should start a 'show us your coco mats' thread!

I got a set for the 1966 Mercedes 250SE about six months ago, and when the fit came out a bit off around the throttle, they sent me templates and samples so I could make a perfect fit. Now they use those templates in their inventory. I'm just about to buy two more sets - one for the 911S and one for the 6.3. Love that company.

Just received these today. Great fit and finish! Drew gave me a two week estimate
and they were right on time.
