The only thing I can say about those mats is that if I had them then all passengers in my car would have to take theirs shoes off, put them in a shoe box and ride in their socks/stockings/tights.
There's no way I'm going to have them mess the mats up with crap. I'll drive in carpet slippers. Congrats on the door pins.

Hindsight 20/20, you are correct. Day one and there is dirt on them. The good news is that it's not on the car's carpet which is what I am concerned more about.

Couple of new additions....
Added 12mm spacers all around.
Added some OE MB tire stem caps, because mine was apperently missing one. Crazy.
Put some paddle shifter extensions on. Torn on whether or not I will keep them on. They look a lot bigger than what I was hoping. However, they are pretty handy..pun intended.

What's the part number for the OEM metal door lock pins. Did they come from the dealer?

So, I tried out my Dragy for the first time. It is a German holiday here, so the roads were pretty empty. I did about 5 quick 0-60 runs. Parameters were:
Stock, 250lb driver, 20lb various stuff "gym clothes, lunch, etc.", 3/4 tank of 98 RON/93, DSC off, Auto mode, no brake boost... Logged an invalid (slope) 4.79. I am still getting the hang of the dragy, and a couple of more dead stop runs in the future. Should be able to get more comfortable with it.

They unscrew, but I would recommend wrapping any pliers that you are going to use with a rag or other cloth to protect the old ones.
