Floor mats

Did the 00R come with floor mats?

I do not believe any of the R models came with floor mats.

No.

Thanks, I didn't think so. Saw a 00R for sale on Hendricks motorsport website that had some authentic looking floor mats in it... must be aftermarket.

Just looked at the ad, aren't those mats OEM standard cobra mats?

They are just the Ford Accessories nnats someone added.

years ago someone was selling a 00R with "factory cobra r floor mats" they were some custom made set and it stirred up a similar discussion.

I put Cobra logo’d mats in mine to protect the carpet.

Do you remember which brand of mats you went with? I should get some for carpet protection.

They are hard to come by. I have a set of original Cobra mats as sold by Ford with the stitched-in logo as well as a set of made versions where someone took a 2003-2004 Terminator mat and glued in the Cobra logo. I use the glued-in versions in the car and I’m keeping the Ford official versions unused.

The ones that were made (glued) that I use in the car:

Those mats look good! Oh.... Fuel Safe the original manufacturer of the fuel cell for the 00R is having a sale tomorrow. I'm going to bite the bullet and get a new gas tank. Damn expensive, but the car deserves it.

Wonder if anyone would be interested in doing a group buy on 00R fuel cells?

Are you talking the entire unit or just the bladder? Also, how much is the sale or target price? I could be down possibly for a bladder, but they sound difficult to install.

I’m still on my OEM stuff with no signs of leakage, but my car has had a very low fuel level its entire life. I’m quite positive the tank has never had more than a 1/4-1/2 tank of gas in it. The previous 2 owner’s never drove it and I don’t either (much).

 

[Mwynn]

Fuel safe highly suggest you send the tank to them for the RE-bladder job if you choose to go that route. I'm just going to order a entire new unit tank and bladder. By the time you add shipping on your old tank it's not much difference.

I have to keep my fuel level below half when driving, there are signs of previous leaking from the top of tank... it's time for a new one.

 

[Mwynn]

Ah... I wouldn't worry about a new tank if you don't drive it much. Just keep fuel level below half.
