    Also, here's a picture of the metal plate things, Andy:



    Edit: whoops, the tag, not the plates. My bad. I'll just leave the image there anyways...
    Sealed for JDM freshness.

    Odd enough my mats don't have a metal plate. They have embroidered in gold threads the word roadster. I'll get a better photo soon.

    The early Na's had the metal nameplate on the mats. Later model NA's had the embroidered nameplate that was then carried over to the NB's.

    Fitment is fine with the RHD mats in a LHD NA. The dead pedal helps with fitment on drivers side.
    I have some pics of the drive side fitment I will post later.

    Well I am not complaining with what I have, but I would prefer the metal name plate.

    Just informing, not passing judgement. It was one of Mazda's ways to keep costs in check. Also why they went from the nicer loop pile to cut pile carpet in '95 or '96.

    Pedro your checkerboard floor mats look exactly the same as mine. The roadster logo looks embroidered as opposed to a metal plate.

    I sold those and picked up a set of the metal plate version, as I liked the look of them better. I do have several sets with the embroidered logo though.

    Some RHD mats that I have. I really like the Roadster Plate on the set in the upper right. I have to touch up the paint on the pair when I have the time.

    If that top right set is ever for sale, please let me know. Have been looking for one for ages, but all of them out there seem to be the more "regular" checkerboard.

    P.S. Apologies for the necro-thread ressurection!

    Maybe slightly off-topic, but since we're talking about mats: I'm not really happy with the cut carpet OE mats currently available, and they're typically $120(ish).

    For my recently acquired 1994, I ordered swatches from LLoyds. Their more expensive Berber option is $87 for a set of fronts, and $70 if you want a matching trunk liner. I should have samples soon, and I can at least let you guys know which black loop matches the original carpet best.
