Hopefully that means he has enough orders to start making a new batch of mats. I'll try to contact Luis to find out what's the state of play. |
Could be he simply didn’t renew it. If you don’t renew they just drop.

Hi KG friends,
I just got back from Mexico yesterday. My original plan was to return in February, but unfortunately I catch Covid and needed to stay longer to recover. I am better but I still have a persistent cough.
Couple of weeks ago my old iPhone 6 died on me! Today I went to Verizon to get a replacement, and catch up on accumulated mails!
I just read an email from John Moxon mentioning the last postings.I am really sorry for the delay in pending orders, i will get the shop ready in the next few days and star making the orders right away!
Luis

Great to hear from you Luis.  Not so great to hear you had a close encounter with Covid but the cough lasting longer than the infection is quite common so hopefully it will improve in time.
I'm sure we all wish you the best of health.

Dear Karmann Ghia lovers!
It has been some time since my last post!
I spent last winter in Mexico, arrived back in April, and right after arrival, I got Covid again! Fortunately, after a slow recovery, I am healthy again!
All the winter orders had been manufactured and shipped!
I am ready to receive new orders, I just posted a Summer21 10% COUPON on the website www.60skgmats.com
Kind Regards!
Luis

Hi, Luis
Are you taking pre-orders for the sound absorbers?

I too am interested. My VIN is 149040077, with black upholstery. So I believe I need the Lava color mats. Please confirm.
Do you have a cost in mind?
Estimated delivery date?
Do these mats have all the original part numbers, symbols, etc. molded in as well? I haven't see up-close photos, so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks,
Hans

I just received a set of Lava mats for my 68 & they are great! I'll edit this with pix later so you can take a look. Yes part numbers are molded in
Only thing I wish I had asked Luis was not to put the hole for foot dimmer switch.
Added some pictures to the Ghia parts accessories gallery. I'll get a couple of them installed.

Hello Ghía lovers!
It has been slow lately, but in the positive side, I just got a request for 3 sets of under mats (sound absorbers), and I believe we should be able to produce a batch! (The water jet shop needs 15 sets ).
Everyone that has been waiting for their set please post a confirmation in this blog, if you have any questions you can email ma at [email protected] or send a pm (private message) from this forum.
Thank you!
Luis

Yeah, I'd like to order too but the website won't allow me. Send me a PM if you are taking orders. Thanks!

Hi Luis,
I don't see the floormat set for my '69 coupe on your website. It looks like the set Eastern Notch is showing a few entries down in this thread. Please send me a PM or e-mail with your price.
The small piece behind the clutch/brake pedal is the bulkhead mat I keep hearing about. Is that correct? Can you make it without the hole for the foot-switch? Here is my crinkled original.
I think I need grey (lava), but I'm not sure. Would it be possible to send me a little scrap of the grey rubber to see if it matches my car? I can't really tell what I have. Mine looks black, but it's original and faded and hard to tell if it was actually grey. Or are the color swatches you show on your site accurate? My car's original color was red (L-554 cherry red), black leatherette seats, and white headliner. So what color mats would it have come with?
Thanks,
Hans

Hello Ghía friends!
A couple of good news:
I got a set of original RHS (right-hand side) mats! (thank you, Nicholas!)
They are not in perfect condition but I can work on them and create nice molds!
Creating the 4 molds is in the order of 4-5K, so before I start making them, I need to know how many of you are interested.
All interested please respond to this blog to create a list.
Second:
I just talked with a good customer that wants 3 sets of SOUND ABSORBERS ( Floor under-mats)
I believe we should be able to produce a batch based on the requests I had since the last batch! (The water jet shop needs 15 sets).
Everyone that has been waiting for their set, PLEASE POST A CONFIRMATION in this blog, if you have any questions you can email me at [email protected] or send a pm (private message) from this forum.
Thank you!
Luis

SOUND ABSORBER UNDER-MATS
I just got one more interested customer. ONLY 2 MORE TO GO!
They work for ANY year Karmann Ghia. is not just the looks, it is a lot quieter to ride with them!
The way it looks, it may take a while before they become available after this batch.
Luis
