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

Re: Type R sealed behind barn wall

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.

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

Canada got the exact same floor mats as USA.

Checkered for 97-00 and black for 2001.

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.

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

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.
