Hey guys I'm picking up some red carpet for my Ep3. My issue is I'm un decided on floormats. I currently have rhd ctr floormats. I'm looking to get rid of those. And I'm stuck on 2 options

Option 1 I'm looking at this knock off type r floor mats for an em2. They look like they will fit our Ep3 pretty well, and my gf has an em2 so I can see how her carpets fit before purchase. I like em to match my read carpet , but not a fan of a knock off

Option 2 I can get authentic ctr lhd floormats, but its the black ones with red trim. I rather get real mats but I'm afraid how the black will clash with the red carpet .... Suggestions ?

Were u looking at those knock off mats? I Think the red is brighter than the jdm carpet. Getting the carpet from stock interiors. They do offer a brighter choice red for carpet which should match those floormats pretty close

Check out my members build thread to find out the exact fitment of those em2 floor mats.

My gf has a em2. I can just put her mats in my car to see if I'm satisfied with fitment

Fair enough. In all honesty I like them in my car. Fitment is near perfect for the front two. Rear is too large though.

Are u running ctr carpet ? How do the mats look with the actual carpet ? Link ur members ride here or post some pics if u got em. I have ctr carbon door sills comming on the way too. So I wana get a good visual of how to match this up.

Here a pic of the carpet samples. Jdm red is on the right and on the left its just a tad brighter which should look better with those mats. A 3rd option is just keeping my black carpet and going with ctr lhd mats

I have the JDM CTR carpet. Looking to find a mint set of real floor mats. I agree though, the black CTR floor mats wouldn't look right with the red carpet.

I'm trying to see if red carpet is worth it .... It might be better for me just to buy lhd ctr mats and keep the black carpet . Red carpet is tempting

If you already have red carpets get red floor mats. Otherwise it will look messed up with black ones.

If you still running with black ones dont pay for red carpets and get the black one with red trim. ( I would personally go with black and black. unless you are getting red carpets for good price. )

The red carpet is cheap . You can get it from stock interiors . But I think ur right. The black mats are the way to go

It is the smartest and cheapest way. In other hand if you have too much money, I love the red CTR interior, but it will just cost you more with red carpet, red floor mats and red door inserts. Since we have black seats, still It will not match with red interior. Post up some pics when you get them.

I already have dc5 recaros ctr door panels ctr center console ctr gauge cluster and ctr floormats (rhd). That's why I was thinking red carpet

It really depends on how much money u have. I would personally stay with black one because of the seats. If you are planning to change your seat with any red ones. Definitely go with red setup, you already few red parts.

Come on dude. Go with red carpets and floor mat. Also please tell me that you arent using that stock shift knob any more ?

I am. I like the stock shifter, I'm thinking of a mugen knock off knob I saw but not to sure yet . This is why I'm in decided about the carpet. I have red mats but there rhd. I'm kinda over them. I want mats that are lhd. But the red one are knock off mats and are for a em2. They don't fit perfectly. I can keep the black carpet and get authentic ctr lhd mats that will fit proper in our car

Like Danielsle said. EM2 one almost fit perfect for front. Screw the rear floor mat and nobody will see you rear floor mat, You must get the red ones. You are almost done for red Ctr interior. Go for it.
