I have the brown V Special mats.
From my understanding, they came in the BRG & tan and Brilliant Black & tan JDM V Specials that were offered over the years.

I believe the plates originally had a gold color coating on them. But being that mine were a little tired, with the gold color already wearing off in spots, I cleaned and polished them out to a silver color. The black lettering is by me. I'm unsure if the lettering was color matched to the body color.
I was initially apprehensive and unsure how they would look in my car. But Mazda knew what they were doing, they're a nice contrast that goes with the tan interior quite well.
