Hey everyone, my awesome friend Jacob (@jacmob86 on IG, and his parts page @shockthemob) is doing another round of Expert OZ floormats, the very same ones that are
in my car! There will be significant design improvements over the last set of mats produced. The link to the group buy information is below:

Good morning everyone,
I’ll be heading to Japan next month to participate in AE86 culture and facilitate the next group buy with Expert OZ before my final semester of college here in San Francisco begins.
This group buy will be small batch to gauge lead time on their part now that I’ll be in California for the next few months. This consists of placing all the orders that I’ve compiled, confirming and sorting each individually, packaging and shipping to me and working out domestic shipping. This is before we launch the website to streamline the experience of future orders and interactions with our valued customers and guests.
Furthermore, our front and rear floor mats fit RA chassis Celica’s, E7 corollas and both LHD/RHD AE86’s, so our market is expanding to more vehicles!
The new prices we have in mind are:
$149.99 for 2 front mats
$199.99 for the 5 piece set of front and rear mats
$189.99 for trunk mats
Shipping will be international from OZ to my location in California by airmail, then individual US domestic shipping or pickup in person.
Why the price increase?
New safety features and updates to the design (still working this out)
Import duty/fees
Foreign transaction fees
California sales tax/federal taxes
International shipping cost per unit to my location in California being added into the estimate, excluding domestic shipping once they land, which I don’t believe will be over $45 for our deluxe set with trunk mat.
I’ll be taking pre orders on the next batch that we’re working on, I’d like to have some opinions on the design changes that I have in mind to combat some of the minor issues we’ve had with the mats. I’ll post up a separate poll here in this group for you all to participate in.
Please send all order requests to shockthemob@gmail.com in this format:
