"man in dandism" floor mats?

Post by ansys »

I just picked up a set of these JDM "man in dandism" floor mats, and just had a few questions on the history of them I guess.
Which revisions of the SW20 did they come in? They don't quite seem to be stock standard
Was the MR2 logo and text always in red? even in non-red SW20s?

It seems like there is some confusion out there with regard to these mats

Also, are they worth much? should I be using floor mats on top of floor mats like my dad sometimes did? haha

There are a few different versions of these mats. These are the thick premium mat while you can get a thinner mat that cost less and has a different design. There might be a 3rd or 4th type too but I can't recall.

I have the same in mine. Though yours are in better nick. I would recommend protecting them. As for more info try tracking down some jdm dealer brochures that list options etc.

Doubt they're worth much more as our cars dont have the cult following of say, Silvias where some factory parts are just ridiculous.

Both my SW20s came with them. They were both fully optioned GTs.
