Are there any Karo Dealers state-side?

[bboyoracle]

I was on a search for supermade checkered floor mats when i stumbled on the original checkered floor mat:

KARO (http://www.karo1980.jp)

The quality looks amazing. Are there any dealers in the united states?

Found a page with price ranges for a 180sx:

At first I thought you were asking about this:

Do you really think the cheap ass people out here would fork out the money for KARO mats?

No WAY

[bboyoracle]

That's how it goes for everything. But there are some people willing to pay a little extra :)

[punxva]

and they usually pay that extra for someone in japan to get their hands on stuff like this, but yeah our market is flooded with cheap parts and knockoffs, so it takes a long time for us to actually get good parts and parts that use to be only available overseas so i would talk to sam at jspec or get a hold of rhd japan or somewhere similar...

:keke:I didnt know people on here even had interior in their cars anymore :keke:

These are like $300+ mats man

No one is gonna buy that in the USA

And if they are...I dunno that's their choice but its floor mats...hard to justify unless you're printing money

[Teknolust72]

I can get it, but it definitely is not cheap!!!

expect about $350 FOB LA, and thats for the cheaper Sisal fabric.

[INeedNewTires]

whats so special about them? never heard of them are they functional? if they arent they look stupid and i'd never rock them... if they DO something i'd consider but would need more info. is it just a name brand thing? like are these the gucci of floormats?

[SoSideways]

If they don't massage my feet and take gum off the bottom of my shoes, they're not worth the money.

[bboyoracle]

"worth" is pretty subjective now isn't it?

This isn't a "OMG check out these Hella JDM mats" thread. I'm simply asking if there is a dealer state side. My choice to buy it, unlike some of the bandwagoners in this forum, is to buy something different and of quality.

It appears though that no one has imported them or is a registered dealer. Oh well! Let this thread serve as a reference to people in the future.

I remember they had them in the old signal car.
they are pretty nice as far as floormats go.

Actually, Karo used to be here in the States, but that was back in the early 90s. They left because everyone was cheap back then too. So, while there arent technically any authorized dealers in the U.S., there are many importers that can get it.

...and I have imported them before...

[stiizy]

Them shits are ugly fuck that and over 100 bills...

fuck outta here...

Save ya money...

[atom]

They come in "normal" colors too. A friend of a friend has the "quest" mats in his STi, shit is nice as hell. Definitely better quality than the Nismo Z33 mats I have in my car.

Worth $400? I dunno, some people like Armani or 7 for all Mankind jeans, some people are happy wearing plain old Levi's.

[blitzkrgCT9A]

I think they are cool if you drive your car bare footed. lol

+1. These kids peel the carpet out to be cool, why would they need floormats?

[yokotas13]

i can get em of course :)

close to 400 after shipping
might be able to find some used, but then theyd be RHD

When I look at those floors mats it makes my eyes bug out! It's like looking for one of those hidden pictures!

+1 on those floor mats being to obnoxious looking.
