    They actually look a lot better that i thought they would from reading the title of this thread, but they are still not to my taste, i like a street car to feel warm inside, metal just makes a car cold, that's what my track car is for, come to think of it, i even have carpet in my track car........:D

    I like them. I prefer the mats I got from Ricambi better, but those are nice also!

    I kind of like them too... how much are they asking for them?

    I like the look. The only concern I have is the fear of its potential interference w/ the driving. how slippery is the surface on the driver side?

    I am glad you like it.
    I am not sure how it will turn out in the beginning. No one ever done this before like I do.
    My original mats are broken. Since I have to buy a new set, it doesn't hurt so much to try a new set. It only cost me less than 170 US!!!

    I like the mats, but I wonder if a different texture would suit a Ferrari better. Diamond pattern is more of a "work truck" thing.

    I like how they look with the Momo steering wheel!!!

    It's a little slippery if you leave they alone. It's ok for me to drive. They will get firmly stuck if I put the old mats undernear. I will also try to figure out another way to stick it by some kind of tape. We will see....

    No way. They make the interior look like an SUV. I do like the aluminum footpads you see in race cars.

    They look alright, but I must agree with vvassallo the pattern of the aluminum does look a bit SUV'ish. Maybe if the were perforated similarly to the aluminum clutch and brake pedal they would be slightly more subtle/ possibly blend better.

    By the way your 360 seats look great!!

    Agreed. I was trying to figure out why I like his seats.

    I personally don't care for them, i'm too old to like something too "different"

    another view for 360 seats
    they are much more supported and comfortable compare to 348 seats.
    I took 348s' out and put them at garage like all the other factory parts I took out before.
    hoping one day when our 348 become "the" classic one, I can just put all the original parts back.
    making it look like all factory again!
    that's part of the fun too.....

    I would be concerned about road vibration working up through the alloy mats......I think it might be very tiring on longer trips.

    I think some serious fungi will grow between them and the carpeting underneath.

    What about wear around the edges? I would think that being metal they would not take long to wear the carpet around the edge.

    I dont like the 360 seats for the 348... they're really nice seats, but they're too big and bulky for the 348. They need to be in a much bigger car, like the 360! No offense or anything... just my personal opinion.

    Those seats look cool, but looks a bit tricky to climb in and out around those huge bolsters!
    The standard style electric 360 seats are what I was referring too. (ie post #16)
