i think i'd go black .. seeings how you have a black/black coupe with no bling whatsoever (except those imitation bling wheels ) and lots of ricer accessories ..

But wouldn't neon orange or yellow mats work better with my Ricer theme?

Just make sure that your floormats match your racing shoes! Gotta coordinate, you know!

Get white floor mats.

Then, you can use any neon color(s) you want and change colors at will without having to buy new color matching mats. The white mats will glow whatever color you choose.

Also, this way you will be able to see the dirt the mats are keeping off your expensive carpet.

White is what you need. Don't forget, most common rice is white.

I went with the black ring around the logo (Lloyds, of course). The logical combo is Lloyd's mats with a new cam. An additional 15 rwhp.

OK. All joking aside for a second (who, me??) - is there any place that does custom embroidery?

I am looking for a custom lettering in a certain colour embroidered into the mats. Oh, and it can't be stratospheric prices - only about Lloyd's prices or thereabouts.

Anyone? GB?

You should hear it at 4000+rpm - it screams like a Banshee!!

And those are 6inch neon tubes behind SS screens in the gills. I like the look
