M3 Floor Mats NLA?

[cbean]

"Pelican has them currently back in" I ordered last Thursday and my order was redirected later that day . . . the order would come from Germany and take 4 to 6 weeks. Not a big deal, however, they also mentioned it would be a "special order" and could not be returned for any reason.

I cancelled based on that . . . but am hopeful to get one of the trunk mats in the future My car now seems totally incomplete without one

Pelican has them currently back in...but that was what FCP said two weeks ago as well until they said "here's your money back". Hopefully this will be legit. $128 to the door in 2-3 weeks.

I ordered the trunk mat from pelican a few weeks ago when they said they had it in stock, but the order got canceled. Somebody mentioned earlier that Pelican, ECS, and somebody else use the same warehouse, and ECS still says backordered.

I ordered them regardless just in case. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up.

Floor mats scarcity across the board. I can't get new mats for my Z4M or my E60 M5.

well, my trunk mat from FCP showed up yesterday, so it appears I got lucky on that one. Now I just need to track down some floor mats.

My mats are purple center stripe too, but everything else on the car is blue and looks original too based on how faded it is. Trunk, wheel, grill emblems are all blue, are they generally purple?

Okay . . . this makes me feel a little better. I was thinking the same thing looking at all my emblems, they all looked "dark blueish" , I was thinking maybe everything on my car is faded

I think only my steering wheel band had purple on my E30 M3. They been using dark blue for a while. Why they had the original purple stripe on floor mats so long is actually surprising.

I was just looking at all the M emblems on the car. Only the mats have purple.

FOMO . . . I finally saw a set on AMAZON and pulled the trigger. You can see in the PICS the differences of the "new" mats vs the original mats ( at least I think they are the OG mats ) . . .

Color change from purple to dark blue

Gone is the FOAM backing, this backing seems more robust

And the design of the velcro seems different . . . better IMO

FYI...the trunk mat is back in stock at FCP. I ordered mine yesterday morning and received a shipping notification, so it's real this time.

As in it's already shipped?? My order placed march 10th still hasn't shipped. Yikes thats frustrating if they are out of stock again.

OMG . . . already out of stock . . . I had never heard of these before last weeks posts, yet another thing I never knew I needed desperately. Somebody, please take my money . . .

Looks like Pelican has them in stock

there is not enough of a gap between the bar and the floor to sandwich the mat in between, that is the main issue!

Ah, looked like there would be enough clearance.
Still would adapt it to fit.

You probably only need to do two “lollipop” slits to get it to fit around it’s mounting locations. Should look just fine.
Measure twice, cut once.

I want one of those M trunk mats but I have a mason x brace which means I'd have to cut the mat into two pieces.... uhhhh should I do it?
