I've mentioned in another thread that I've been talking to David at twosrus about doing reproduction floor mats as they all ready carry some for MR2s. I'm open to sourcing them from anywhere willing to produce a quality product, I just figured this would be the simple way to go about it as they all ready have all the contacts set up and a reputable site to purchase them from. While he seemed open to the idea and owns an alltrac himself with a set of floor mats to use for templates I don't think its gone any further than discussing it at the moment. As with anything in the alltrac world progress is slow moving but I'm hopeful this will pan out.
Here is a link to the mats the carry for the MR2s with reviews:

He did have some questions in our last email:
Aside from grey, what others colors were available stock?
I wasn't sure if blue was an option I know I've seen it on FWD models. I wouldn't mind a black set if that was an option.
Would people be happy with only reproducing fronts?
He mentioned only to keep costs down and most rears don't see a lot of wear. I don't know about anyone else but I don't even have rear mats I only have one very beat up passengers mat so a full set for me would be nice.
I have asked if they would be embroidered like the MR2 mats but have not heard back I'm going to assume they would be. My Canadian model has "Turbo 4WD" embroidered on it (same as my stock rear badge) I know it was marketed with several names depending on location. What does everyone suggest would be the best option? To simplify things I think it best to stick to one option for the embroidery as to not overly complicate things. I'm not terribly fond of the "Turbo 4WD" badges I'd rather have "GT-Four" or a simple "Celica" but I'd like to hear everyones suggestions.
I'm not suggesting this as our only method of producing reproduction mats if someone has another idea please explore it, I'm simply looking for mats like the rest of you and any option would be better than what we have now.
