A bit late to that party yes. I think the consensus was the story didn't quite ring true

Car isn’t mint and it has 82,000 miles. Kinda sad to block it in for a decade. It’s been on eBay for months.

Anyone know where I can find a OEM red car cover like this?

Did the Canadian market Type R's get different floor mats? Those don't look like the USDM mats I have.

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

Canada got the exact same floor mats as USA.

Checkered for 97-00 and black for 2001.

This is fake news. Story is bullshit

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

I talked to this Seller several times while I was searching for my Type R. There was something about this guy and this car that just felt weird. I'm sure he'll find a buyer eventually when he gets reasonable with his pricing expectation.

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

They did not. Yes, they had checkered but the CDM ones had a heel pad while the USDM mats were just all mat.

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

What is a heel pad ?

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

Ahh I had some CDM checkers and 2001 mats and didnt realize USA checker mats were all mat.

That's a heel pad.

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

Wow , I have never seen those. Thanks for learning me something today!

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

Man I recently bought a set of USDM ITR matts and in no time I wore out that area from my heel! I wear dress shoes for work and man it ate the carpet up in no time wish mines had the pad!

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

I hate it when perfectly good mats wear out simply because of the driver's heel. I've had holes worn right through the mat because of this. I used to add metal heel protectors to my expensive mats for this very reason, I know Momo used to sell them, likely others out there, very easy to install and they will save the carpet.

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

Have you seen cars with women's high heel damage? Awful!

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

That is one reason never to buy a car that is "lady driven" lol, among other things.....

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

I can only imagine.. :scared:

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall
 

Did the US mats have a rubber backing ? Our Canadian mats were latex foam rubber that dried into powder after many years
