March in the northeastern US isn't too cold for Goblin'ing, nope.

Just received my custom floor mats. The quality is very impressive ... I think these will have solved a major need for me by replacing the mats I made from cutting a Lowes-sourced floor mat and applying grippy stuff to the back. They just did not hold up.

Thanks Coco Mats, and thanks @CaptFrank2001 for posting about these in the first place, and for providing your order number for sizing purposes.

If anyone else is interested in getting a set of these, you can reference my order #443310 from March of 2022, for sizing. Coco Mats will send you a pattern kit just to confirm fitment, but mine were a perfect fit using Frank's info.

Do you mind me asking how much you paid?

Those look pretty nice, had I known about it before I might have done the same thing. That being said though I'm pretty happy with my 0.5" thick gym floor matting mats I made. They should be basically indestructible, there's just some effort involved in making them.

Thanks @Ark :D I think I'll be pulling the trigger on these myself. I also used hardware store floor mat, but I did not put any grip stuff on the back. I had a few passengers start to slip on the way into the car last year... so I think these are warranted. Especially because I'm running the city frame and people tend to reach right for the glass windshield when they slip o_O

My self-made mats tended to try to curl up a little bit. They didn't sit flat. Plus, people have the same problem getting in and out of mine as they do with yours, even with the grippy stuff on the back of mine. It only took a couple grabs onto the windshield to make me aware I had an issue, haha!

New paint. New floor mats. No standing still in your garage.......... ;)

Bump since I've been asked twice for pics of the mat fitment in private messages. Added two (not great but workable) pics of the mats, installed.

Also, I had to put on my third "wang" a few weeks ago. I really liked the last one, but the mount points on the wing were not very durable and both sides had started to crack. I first noticed it because the wing was getting "floppy" and I noticed it in my side view mirror while at speed. I am beginning to wonder if I should not just have invested in one of the top-tier wings?.... I've got like $500 invested in wings now, that's almost the cost of one of the good ones. Oh well!

I feel I’ll be going the same way as your did with the wings. I have the same one you just replaced. I did mount it a bit differently So maybe it will hold up
