JDM Karoism Floor Mats

Anyone have them installed or ever installed them on any of your cars? Where can you purchase these without having to order directly from Japan.

Link to their website:

I am sure they are great mats, but surely you can get them custom made in similar material locally.

I am a fan of Australian wool :p

I got mine off of mazda parts if I remember correctly.... If not you can try auroaccesorystore, im pretty sure they were the meanufacturer of the part, and mazdaparts were just the distributer.


Check both out.

Run about 80 USD. Look great. Ill try to get some picks tomorrow.

I gotta find aluminum polish though, after a year of use (especially in winter) they get a bit scuffed.

They are at first, maybe the first week or so.

But after you break them in, theyre fine.
