CLOSED [Group Buy] K2Gear 3D Mats Gen4/5

[bigBADbenny]

Please contact PhatGT at Garage88 for these mats!

We got off to a shakey start with a misunderstanding on pricing. All of you and Phat were right.
It's OK by me as I hope to learn from any experience, good or bad, and indeed I learnt quite a bit!

Thanks for your interest and support! Ben

Rather than start a new thread I'll just add some more info right here.
We didn't even get close (as predicted) to our desired pricing as K2Gear has very high margins, fair enough.
However we did manage to get the best possible pricing for you and are doing our best to minimize shipping costs.
We're likely to scrape under the $400 mark...
If you're still keen, and haven't already received a reconfirmation PM from me, then just PM me again. Cheers, BBB

Good mats are hard to find...
These mats will outlast the car!
K2Gear 3D mats are a worthy upgrade for Subaru carpet or rubber sets (which retail for $175-195).
Construction is XPE+TPE: waterproof fabric-textured synthetic laminated on a foam core, they're flexible, washable and virtually indestructible.
You have the best of both worlds - durable, weather resistant mats that look great whilst protecting the interior - they use the factory hooks, so they're safe too.
To complete the interior upgrade effect, we're also offering the option of the K2Gear Mat Protector (pending availability and pricing, TBC).
Update: Not a massive amount of interest, in this but you might save a little on shipping so just add your request to a PM with "PROTECTOR" in the subject.
They're around $80 RRP.

K2Gear 3D Mats Micro Reviews and Gallery
t.renshaw34:
"fully water proof. spill a can on coke on it. take it out and just tip the coke down the sink, then rinse it off.
(no I dont allow food and drink in my car but accidents happen)"
hks180:
"it's not cheap, but it looks good, fits perfect and it's handy when it comes to cleaning.
And can't say no to the red stitching ! haha !! it would goes well for those who got tuned by STI."
bigBADbenny:
"I'm over my OEM carpets: my heel catches, they're a pain to clean, worn in places, eurggh!
I'm due for an upgrade, not just replacement
I like the depth, they'd [mostly] cover the worn carpet on the lump near the footrest..."
mongmong77:
"Something to consider if your willing to have the best mats your car can get."
libsti:
"ive had the K2 mats for about 3 years now curtisy of phat and thay are great, still look like new. you will all love them"
Anon:
"My genuine carpet mats are starting to shred and shift and keep getting stuck under my pedals! Perfect timing for replacement so definitely in"

Nice big Gen 5 pic:

Yes, dear - it's the full 5 pieces...

Protect and enhance your nether regions... no wait.

At first, life on Mars was adverse, then came the age of domes.

Uh-huh, no more catchy-catchy clutch heel, no more pit of doom adjacent acc pedal!

Professional closeup of matt hook eye and K2Gear logo. I'll be Opticoating that thanks!

Totally non-professional closeup from random review in J.

Another totally non-professional closeup from random review in J.

This chap started with the K2Gear 3D Mats and look where he ended up!

Intriguingly, the pic clearly shows the 3D mats are compatible with the Mat Protector Mat thing...
Gambit spotted that this is a WRX! I completely missed that

[Rome_BRZ]

Great idea...I see most people's negative criticism of these in the thread reviewing them was based around the exhoribtent cost...yet at $250 (a merer $50 more than factory mats) if we can get 10 buyers I can't see how people wouldn't want these, particularly if they have an STI as the stitching would fit right in!

Plus adds another K2 gear part to my car

[HoFF]

They look awesome. If we get 10+ I would seriously consider it

[Rome_BRZ]

They look awesome. If we get 10+ I would seriously consider it

That's why you put your name down now, because if 10 people think the same as you imagine how much of a saving is missed out on!

PS benny update some of the pics as they don't work.

[HoFF]

Put me down then

I'm seriously impressed - thanks everyone! A few hours in and nearly there - and we haven't even cross-posted to all the other forums... yet.

The more the better as it allows for a % of tyre kickers. Also, update the pics man! Some aren't working!

[bosc0]

Maybe add me as said tyre kicker? Do want, but have priorities. When is fathers day?
