The stock S2000 floor mats present a number of problems for owners who are
concerned about the quality and durability of the driver and passenger carpeting.
The stock mats leave the carpeting over the frame humps exposed, subjecting
it to premature wear. The hump carpet wears much faster than even the floor
carpet, especially if your passenger is average height or short. The mats
themselves are of poor quality, and the colors, particularly the red, are
a poor match for the rest of the interior. Finally, the stock mats are made
of an inferior weave and have a cheap backing; even with the anchor post,
they tend to slip around.
Several other replacement mats are available, including a cumbersome
three-piece design made in Germany and several one piece
designs available from Australia and Europe. The quality
of these mats varies widely. Some are made of a pile that
begins shedding bundles of loose fibers in only a few
weeks. Others do not fit well, and show gaps in the floor
well and slip around with foot pressure. Still others
have a vinyl backing that encourages slippage. Some are
billed as "premium" but are actually made from less expensive
nylon pile.
Rick's Luxury One-Piece Floor Floormats were designed to set
an unmatched standard of quality and fit for the S2000. The
quality far surpasses the anything available stock or from
the aftermarket. We closely inspected each of the aftermarket
replacement mats available and set design and production objectives
that addressed their shortcomings.
Our floormats feature:
-
A one-piece, full length design from top front to well under the seats.
-
Custom tailoring over the
passenger side
frame hump, which provides a snug fit.
-
A flat, gently curved surface on the
driver side
, which makes for a smooth appearance and makes
the driver's hump seem to disappear.
-
Inventive hidden eyelets that attach to the floor posts,
which eliminate the need for holes in the mat yet anchor
the mats firmly in place.
-
An extremely tight fit. Simply put, these mats will not
slip from foot pressure.
-
Construction of highest quality pile available for an auto
interior. The pile is extremely dense and thick and will
not unravel.
-
A thick woven rubber durable nubbed
backing , which prevents slippage and locks the mats
into place.
-
Heel mats for the driver side.
-
Color choices that compliment the various S2000 interior
colors.
Rick's Luxury One-Piece Floor Floormats are available in multi-frame
woven, loop pile Wilton wool imported from England or, for
a less expensive but equally high quality alternative, thick
loop pile nylon.
Rick's Luxury Wilton Wool One-Piece Floor Floormats are absolutely
the finest aftermarket mats available, with a thick, extremely
durable pile that is exceptionally resilient, and feels very
luxurious under the foot. This pile is so luxurious you'll
want to touch it, a rare quality found in only the finest
wool products.
For an extra touch, the Wilton wool floormats are trimmed
in leather. The wool are made in black and Navy blue and the
nylon floormats in black only. The black perfectly complements
the stock black interior and provides an attractive contrast
for cars with a different color interior. Navy blue Wilton
Wool is a good choice for owners with blue cars.

Leather trim colors include black, red, blue, yellow, and
gray. The leather trim is about 3/8 " wide, providing a well-defined
but tasteful and subtle decorative edge. A set of genuine
Wilton Wool floormats is $379.00. While the price is too high
for some, the beauty and workmanship of these mats fully justifies
every penny. If you can afford them, we believe you'll come
to think they are a bargain as the years go by.
Rick's Luxury
Nylon One-Piece Floormats surpass the quality of all other
mats made for the S2000 except Rick's own Wilton Wool mats.
They are made with top quality nylon pile to the same standards
as the Wilton Wool mats. The nylon mats are available in black
(a true black), blue and light blue (both complementing but
not matching the Suzuka blue stock interior), charcoal (a
medium dark gray), and gray.

Trim is vinyl, and is available in black and blue (red trim
is not available in vinyl, since it clashes with the red interior).
A set of nylon mats is a more affordable.

A Word About Wilton Wool Floormats
Since Wilton wool is a manufacturing process,
not a company, the quality of Wilton wool carpet
can vary enormously from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The name Wilton wool is not a guarantee of quality.
In fact, some Wilton wool products offered by
others are not even Wilton wool, but a nylon imitation
of Wilton wool.
Rick's Wilton wool carpet is finest made for an auto
interior. It is made in England from the finest
English wool woven into a tight, deep pile.
There is no better carpet for an auto interior.
