Some of you high rollers might like these. I remeber a post talking a bought the second OEM 93 Cobra Floormat. I have purchased things from these guys before and they do a good job.

wow, kinda like the 1st gen Lightning floor mats (expensive mofos)

Sorry to say but they arent OEM mats. Original 93 Cobra mats say "COBRA" .They dont have a snake on them. I have a set of OEM black 93 mats for sale if anyone is interested. Drivers mat was covered in a think towel, passengers mat red letteres could use a good cleaning. These mat are 12 years old and in excellent condition

thought they looked odd. Someone should bust his chops with eBay.

According to other things I have ead these are real. If they are not how about those Ford casting numbers? Anyone looked then up? Here is a thread I found where the second OEM Floormats were mentioned...

....about 9 months ago I purchased some front and rear cobra rotors from this same seller and they were 100% NOS..all numbers matched. I wonder why he would try passing off a fake now?

Those are the accessory mats not the OEM mats

 

[reyberg]

Thank you for the clarification.

I have both sets, the ones with the red writing and those. They both have the Ford Part # stamped on the bottom. The ones with the snake on them bunch up though. I paid $200 for the OEM ones and got the others from PPI for $90. That dude is trippin :thumbsup:

I got those exact mats.. well in black though and I got them for $50.. new in the box! those mo fo's are expensive

 

[hollant]

those mo fo's are expensive

And they are not OEM as stated above. Accessory mats sold by the Ford parts dept. maybe, but not OEM!

I wrote him and asked him about them and here it is...


Q: I was wondering about the authenticity of these? The only Cobra Floormats I know of have the only the word Cobra on them? Can you give me some history on these. Thanks-

A: These are the correct mat and part number sold by Ford 1993. The mats with the word Cobra on them Only came in the car from the assembly plant, they were never sold over the counter. I suggest you check the part number shown in the auction with your local Ford Dealer if you doubt their correctness. Thanks Rob

They are sold by Ford parts department.. thats how I got my set for mine

That actually might be a correct statement though... I have never seen mats sold for the 93 with just the "Cobra" on them

I got a set of those. the mats themselves are nice and thick like factory. but the snake logo is like an iron-on patch. better than nothing I guess.

These mats are accessory mats not OEM. You could get OEM with the COBRA on them accross the counter up until several years ago. I think the last set I bought was about 01, somewhere around there they were discontinued

Technically those are OEM mats. The original mats were sold over the counter as I have bought several sets. At one point Ford sourced the mats from a different vendor and started selling the "revised" mats under the exact same part# as the original OEM replacements. So they are OEM replacement mats, but simply a revised style (less desirable IMO).

I work in the parts department at a Ford dealer (Henry Day Ford), and have worked in parts since '96. A buddy of mine came in and ordered 10 sets of the original grey "cobra" mats for $32 each back in '98. When they came in, there were 7 sets of the originals and 3 sets of the "revised" mats. After many phone calls to Ford I got the reply stated above.

I personally have about 5 sets of the originals, but they're all used (I replaced them about once a year). Luckily I kept all of them, but unfortunately I used all of them too. Wish they were new still.

Did you guys know in addition to the grey and black, they were offered in red and blue as well? No lies...

Ford part# F3ZZ-6113086-AAC (red), F3ZZ-6113086-AAK (royal blue).

those mats are horrible. I bought a set a few years back for $40. They're terrible. Very poor qaulity. They are very thin and the seams come undone. Yes, they have Ford part numbers but they are not OEM quality.

I agree, and like I said before, those mats are not quality pieces at all. They are way more flimsy and they bunch up really bad. That auction should end with no buyers, we'll see.
