Hello James, it is indeed the same car.  Different lighting conditions and license plate.   In Fl you get a new plate every four years.

I figured you just changed the plate after you dumped the body.  :o

John, don't you think a boat would be a better way? ;)  Perhaps it would be named  Stugots. ;) ;)

Fernando!  You show off. ;D  I don't blame you a bit.  Both are lovely photos but the sunset on the Gulf shot is exquisite!  When was the shot of Cedar Key taken.  It has been so long since I've been there, that stilt house had a roof.

Thanks Ray!  The sunset on the Gulf of Mexico was taken about a month ago.  The other pic was maybe three years ago?

Methinks this would be a great place for a Pagoda gathering.  The road from Chiefland to Cedar Key is a really nice drive.

I have three questions.

1. Is your interior black or dark brown?
2. What are the shoulder belt limiters? are they stock? What are they called and where can I get them?
3. If the floormats are not original, where did you get them?

Gaucho

On 3

They are cocomats.

Do a search on them on the boards - or google it -  and all will be revealed.

Those cocomats are great looking. How much would it matter if I matched the color scheme of the original mats it has in it?

Define matter? Jeff doesn't do a Cognac cocmat so i got these and love them. If I were a concours person, I'd take them out. But I am not and like the mats and at the same time hope i am giving a few extra years life to the carpets

Sorry. Would it be better to go with the original color scheme than to do something different? Just an opinion.

The nice thing about the mats from cocomats.com is that they are rubber backed so they don't damage your perfect square weave carpet and spills don't get through.  As far as I know the cars came with rubber mats (at least the 230) so these are a nice upgrade.

Cocomat will send a cutting from 4 or 5 mats so you see the colors in your car.

Here they are in a Dark Brown interior.

Just bumping this as there's been some UK correspondence about the Cocomats

Another group buy, perhaps?
