Coolest KR floor mat on the planet

I had added the WeatherTech floor liners to my 05 KR. I liked the mats but just didn't think they looked like they belonged in the KR, mainly because of the black WetherTech advertising sticker on them. Taking the sticker out didn't help but some custom domed decals I sketched and had made by Roger DeVries did. Now I think the liners look like they belong in a KR and at least until somebody else has Roger make them some, I think I have the only set on the planet.

The background is Arizona Beige Metallic which matches the truck trim. The lettering itself and the outline is chrome which has a tendency to act like a mirror, so it was tough to get a good picture. The cool thing is that depending on the light, the chrome lettering can look black and it seems to have a 3D effect. I am very pleased.

I'm with the other guys, very cool! I'm thinking about ordering the WeatherTechs because of Svermill's previous post in a thread below, and this would be the ultimate! Let us know if we can jump on your bandwagon...

You just know I've got to have a pair of those now. I would have never thought of that.

Done. I wanted to be the second if not the first.

I also asked him about another idea I had been kicking around, I'll let ya'll know if that goes anywhere...

Just put em in today and they look great. Got them off the weathertech website for 129.00 plus 15.00 shipping. This was for two front floor liners and the 2 heavy duty rear mats.
So far so good.

You'd have never convinced me I'd pay this kind of $$ for floor mats before I bought the KR. It still seems kinda high, but well worth it when you consider it in terms of the overall investment.

I haven't heard of anyone finding a better deal than direct. Anyone?

I found one site that had them for $120, can't remember where though. Not enough difference for me to worry about dealing with some no-name company so I plan on ordering direct also.

Did you get a reply from Roger DeVries about creating some more custom KR inserts? I'm wondering if enough of us are interested would he be able to do them all at once and pass some savings along. I would like to know how much he wants for each of us so I can budget that expense at the same time I order the WeatherTechs.

No, no response yet. It just dawned on me that I think it's considered bad form to discuss price around here (they don't want it becoming just an online parts store I guess). If I hear back from him, I'll shoot you a private message.
