Actually, I'd be interested in an Ecru set as well.  I definitely need the front two, but a complete set is fine.  As far as script I'm open.

Am I the only one interested in an Ecru set?  I'd probably be in for 
an Ecru/beige/light brown set for at least driver and passenger, if 
not all four.  What's on them isn't as important as high quality and 
appropriate coloring.  It would be a bonus if it had the four rings or 
quattro script, or the //S6 on it.  Maybe we could pull Ur//S on it or 
something un-patented?
