[s-cars] Trial Balloon - mats w/ logo

Wed Oct 20 11:24:31 PDT 2010

I've been looking for a black set for my '91 TQA for a couple of years now, so I'm in for a set if it all works out.  BTW, I do still have the original set with the 4-ring design in the car if anyone needs design measurements.  Problem is they have more than 4 rings now, due to heel wear-thru!

I guess that might be the advantage of trying to get ACNA to get a release from 
udi...then you could order any color with whatever logo you wanted for the 
ifferent cars.
Unfortunately, I'm headed out of the country tomorrow, so I won't be able to 
ake it 
p with someone at ACNA until next week, unless I can find a break later today.
Really...there are no officers lurking on the list???

on the floor. Makes for a two tone vanilla/licorice look, and it's way
easier to keep clean.  My vote still stands with black/silver.
