    I'm looking for quality floor mats for my '72 Dino 246 GT. Black with "Dino" script (either red or yellow script preferred). Please let me know who you would recommend as a supplier and if you have direct experience. Thanks in advance.

    you might try Johann Merkhoffer at Coachtrim in Danbury CT. I was just up at his shop & he did some great embroidery mat work. He can be reached at 203 743 6556

    I may have an answer tomorrow...

    Stay tuned, it's a source I've used for mats, just not sure they'll do the Dino logo.

    just as an alternate idea, consider some period correct 'coco' mats. I've had very good luck with www.cocomats.com. Very functional, pretty and really are so in period.
    No affiliation.
    best,

    I've been searching forever for a set of mats with the Dino script. But I guess I should just get a regular set for now and continue the search.

    Funny that you mention the coco mats. I just ordered a set of black/red mats for everyday use until I find something with the Dino script. I should get them in a couple of weeks and will post my thoughts. I agree that they have a cool "period" look.

    No luck with source #1.

    Got a back up idea I'm going to explore.

    I had a custom set made with Dino script by a guy out of Los Angeles who used to advertize in Cavallino. They were top quality. I think his name was Keith (or Ken)Collins. try looking in back issues around 5-6years ago.
    Good luck!

    I'm officially out of options.

    Matt guys won't make them for me, and my embroidery guys can't do stuff that thick.

    I just bought some mats from an ad on the FerarriAds section here. I did not see the Dino listed but he did have a lot of others and he was able to put pretty much any logo I wanted on the mat.

    Just a thought - maybe he can do the Dino?????????
