jo137649 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I want to start a petition to have the authentic KR floor mats made available and I don't mean the ones that came with our KR's. The only KR floor mats available are the ones that have the grill emblem. Why can't we have floor mats that have the exact logo as the one on our head rests and just recently the trunk liner? The interior messaging needs to be consistent or else we start making our KR's look cheap. Props to Robert for making headway by getting us the sill plates but could you imagine if we could fit out our KR's the way Shelby first envisioned before Ford started red lining what they didn't want to make the car more affordable? Anyone with me on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbypt Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I really like the floor mats specifically made for the KRs at SA. They look great in my car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo137649 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I really like the floor mats specifically made for the KRs at SA. They look great in my car... Are you talking about the ones that came with the car (small Shelby emblem on the corner)? Or the ones you can purchase from SPP for about $220 with the cobra emblem found on the front grill of your car? I'm glad you are happy with them and each person will have their personal preference but I personally don't want the interior to look inconsistent logo wise.

jo137649 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I also want to add to my original post that Shelby already produces the floor mats I'm after so there wouldn't be a need for development. They are offered in the KR upfit package (take a look at the upfit brochure if you haven't seen them). I just don't think that folks need to pay $18K to get them.

Dennis Brown Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 FYI if you have the upgraded interior thr floor mats and trunk mat match they use the same logo for the new interior. Sorry only the 08KR will be the same. Sorry not true a 09 will be the same also I forgot that they had different emblems and that you orded your floor mats for your year of KR.

09KR0058 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Not sure what you're asking for here. About a year ago I got two pair of front floor mats for my KR that have the GT500KR logo. Are these not in the store any longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kr82 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't get it... we paid a small fortune for this car..why didn't we get the floor mats with it?

So you are telling me , that if I want KR floor mats..that I should dish out another couple hundred bucks to get the floor mats that should have came with the car!! anything else that should have come with the car that I should be aware of ??? No guessing..just the facts..... Authentic floor mats did come with the GT500KR. They are standard production Shelby floor mats as used in other models, like the Shelby GT, etc. SPP decided that we wanted to offer something a little more graphical, hence we brought our own line of floor mats out for the after market. This isn't any different than what other auto makers do. . .production has their own way of doing things vs. after market. The KR door sills and the KR brake fluid cap should have come with it. The KR sill plates were debated as OEM, however, they were cut for the program because SVT wanted their trademarks on the KR visible too. Makes sense to me since they are a partner. I just received my KR sill plates on Thursday (11 Nov 10). :happy feet: I think and I wasn't here for this so don't take it as fact, that the KR caps were not used because people might over or under tighten them - not good when related to stopping. I also think they didn't want the text on the OEM brake cap covered. As for the GT500KR script floor mats - the ones that would match the headrests - this design was taken by sales, so SPP couldn't use it. Thus, we just used the two designs (2008/2009) from the side fender. I will try to get permission to sell the floor mats and post availability. I understand why these would be cool since they would match the head rests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news, your voice was heard and the awesome Robert Lane has confirmed to me via email that he has pushed for these and got them approved for sale! Robert let me know that as soon as is able to get them loaded online, he will post on the forum that they are available for sale. No price point determined yet, he is still working on that.
