Default Door sill protection

I ordered these door sill protections which I thought was solid plastic but realized it was vinyl carbon fibre imitation. I normally hate carbon fibre imitation but this one had a purpose - to protect the door sills from scratching. And the result really impressed me. Apparently available in different colors which I also missed when ordering. They are made from really thick/tough vinyl and the children even stand on the door sill when getting in/out. No issue

It's described in this thread

I like sand beige cocoa combo interior. I wish WeatherTech comes in cocoa color.

my car which is macadamia with sand beige interior came with cocoa carpet. The contrast is great and I like it much better than all sand beige interior. It looks great...someday I'll get off my behind and post some pics!

+1 on the cocoa mats with Sand Beige interior.
Like others, I bought the mats from Suncoast, and figured that if I didn't like them no great loss.
Now I cant tell which I like better, the black/beige contrast I had or the cocoa/beige now.

The OP's photos don't do the colors justice, IMO. The color is deeper in real life.
It comes off as a two tone combo that is "softer" than black/beige.

I've been doing the same and stocked up on Natural Browns. They resist staining much better than the beiges and look richer.

Why don't you just use your original mats? Who are you saving them for??

I have a 2 tone black/sand interior. I went with black mats purely for looks given the existing black wheel and dash.

My interior is all sand beige, which I love. I searched for a year to find a CPO'd red/beige 997.2 S. I ordered a set of cocoa brown mats after seeing patriot993's post, because the price was great, and when I showed the OP's pictures to the missus she thought it looked sweet!

I like the contrast to break up the all beige, and since my poor little unicorn is packed out in my back yard, it can get muddy, dirty, etc. and I'm thinking that the cocoa may better hide some of that than the OEM beige mats…T

I'll toss my nasty old stained sand beige mats back in if I'm going somewhere I expect to track mud/dirt into the car.

Does anyone have pics of any color of the floor mats on sale in an all black interior?

I'm mainly curios how Terracotta would look, but also Sea Blue, Cocoa, and Stone Grey. Thanks!

I have the original blue mat that came as an option in my sand beige interior with lapus blue exterior. I wouldn't change a thing.
Great thread.

Default Pics of Cocoa mats in Sand Beige Interior

Had a chance to install my cocoa mats. Feeling pretty smug, as it's my first mod!
Thanks OP! A little contrasting color spiffs it up and a darker color will better hide the dirty hopefully...T

I love this forum. I saw another post that pointed me to the sale. I have Sand Beige, so given the choices I was wondering if Natural Brown mats might work. I do a quick search and end up here with pictures. Now I know its a safe bet. Thanks guys!
