whered u get them?
I was to hoping that WeatherTech would be making mats for FF by now (available for other modern Ferrari styles). I sent email to their customer service and never got courtesy of a reply. I had a set of winter mats made based on recommendation from sales guy (local person who does mostly custom cloth mats). They were made by using template of FF OEM summer mats. For $400 I got poor esthetics and lower quality than what I'd see in local auto parts store for $30. Those mats are not being used and I won't make that mistake again. I'll probably just hold out for WeatherTech product to be available. For my M-B and BMW vehicles manufacturers offer rubberized mats of great quality for $150. I don't understand why Ferrari drops the ball on this situation for their customers. Dave
We just made a few batches of FF all weather mats, they are the Italian leather one's that we advertised on the forum a week ago. OEM Clips, Diamond pattern leather - completely waterproof, will not absorb water, non slip and salt/sand will not deteriorate the finish (3 year warranty). Right now we only have the front pair (are working on a solution for the rear sets as they have an indentation in the bottom) A couple of pics of them. I can customize the stitching and borders as well as the leather comes in 5 OEM colors. Let me know if any interest!

I also had "custom" winter mats done from a company in Danbury, Ct. The same experience as Dave, for $350 I got a set of poor quality, non fitting mats which should have really cost about $50. The guy didn't account for the indentation for the rear mats, they do not fit and are very cheap looking. Suffice to say, I am not using them. Currently using the carpet mats I got from my dealer, which are not bad. I find most of these companies who offer to do custom accessories for Ferarri, usually offer up epic fails.
You can be assured that these mats fit like a glove, are in-fact WATERPROOF - and we will have a rear pair solution shortly, which accommodates the rear hump!
Keeping in mind that the leather is just as durable as the all weather mats - while looking a bit more exotic. The patented waterproofing characteristics of these mats surpass any other leather interior material offered in cars. These mats will not absorb water, salt can be wiped of with a damp towel and wont eat into the surface of the leather. Liquids are repelled as well. Best of both worlds! Weathertech's are okay - we have them in the winter car, but sometimes get very slippery between the grooves.
I ordered a set from Andrew a few days ago, great guy to deal with. I'd actually already purchased a set from In Pelle whom Andrew distributes for, but unfortunately didn't fit properly as I forgot to specify they were for a right hand drive car (John!). However I can attest to their quality and durability. They really are fantastic mats, much smarter than rubber, but with the same weather resistance. Andrew also has every colour and stitching option you can think of so you can match them with the interior of your car.
Your mats seem to be always very well done and get rave reviews, Andrew. Well done, reputations in this world are hard to build so well earned on your part. I have some decent locally-made mats for summer, the "challenge" for me for winter is somehow protecting the very nice Cuoio leather along that bottom edge. The Weathertech plastic floorliners have the accentuated lips/rims that go up the sides a bit in my other cars. I would be curious if you could improvise something along that exposed edge where (salty, snowy, sandy, wintertime) boots inevitably scuff the leather. I have used heavy-duty plastic cling wrap in the meantime, looks like you would expect (i.e. crap) A friend has an FF he drives a bit more than me in the winter mess, I can foresee him having to replace that leather section as it's been soaked and salted. Last, I'm less inclined for diamond leather, I would be game for alcantara-over-something waterproof.
The plastic clips to secure the mats to the floor don't fit, the female part (on the mat) is too big. You can't snap them into place, at least not on my car.
Please pm me, I have to send new clips. Ferrari has been mixing and matching clips in the FF, 458 and California's lately. One part number has been substituted with 3 possible clips
