How to protect Seats, Cargos and Floors (Revolutionary Solutions)

AutoPreme is a car accessory company based in Los Angeles, California. We are two car enthusiasts (Kun Song and Jonathan Lee) from the University of Southern California on a mission to disrupt the current auto accessory industry by bringing elegance to the little details.

In an industry that is filled with sub-par products with no physical appeal, AutoPreme comes in to change the game. The car accessory business is dominated by a select few companies, who all produce similarly styled accessories. AutoPreme is here to give consumers a real choice when shopping for car accessories.

Just take a look at our products. They speak for themselves.

Luxurious. Supreme-Quailty. Affordable.

We created some buzz in MBWorld over the summer, and finally we are proud to announce the AutoPreme Premium Floor Mats.

We use the latest technology to develop a surface material that ensures the ability to be used everyday, even in critical conditions.

Our floor mats are 360° PremeFit which means we use laser measurements to ensure AutoPreme floor mats fit your specific vehicle perfectly. [Custom made for each car] You also don't need to worry about the floor mats moving around. Best of all, we give your floors full protection by covering the sides of the floor as well.

There are more features including a metal pad, diamond stitching and an anti-sliping base.

*Don't forget the exclusive promotion for $85 off in MBWorld when you make your purchase: MBWORLD85

Interesting. Reminds me of something brabus would do. Have you considered diamond stitching? Very popular right now.

1- how do you keep the leather from scratching or wearing out from your heel by the pedals?

2- what is the average price point for a set of floor mats/liners?

Interesting. I'd consider something for the trunk area since it's currently pretty ugly.

If you do make something, make a cutout for the little handle thing on the trunk mat cover. For the inside, maybe some tasteful AMG logos, since it's damn near impossible to find good floor mats with an AMG logo for less than a trillion dollars.

That looks tacky and ****. Leather carpets? Shows money doesn't buy class. At least Brabus replace the existing ones with leather not just throw some chinese made looking, ill fitting "carpet" and call it a day....

Hey Stock, great questions.
We do have several different designs including diamond stitchings.


Our team is brainstorming designs with another diamond stitching all over the carpets as well.
1. Our new composite leather material has been proven to be anti scratch with varies test. I don't want to be too techy here, but I will post more details when we launch Kickstarter campaign. Furthermore, we will have at least one year warranty for all of our products. For normal wears, we estimate, the carpet will last at least for more than five years.

2. We will have about 2 different levels for the carpet depends on their material and design. The higher level will range from $240-400, the lower end one will range from $100-200. We are planning to use the the lower end version to compete with plastic carpet in existed market.

Existed plastic product

Haha, nice suggestion. Noted. However we are cautious of the copyright and don't want to have a lawsuit with AMG and lose a trillion dollars neither.

lol, sorry to disgust your taste my friend. It's hard to have a design to please all of the people of all the time. We are striving for that, but still way to go. Wait for us there.

Hey dbldpr, as I just explained to Stock. We will take care of the quality. Furthermore, the whole carpet is waterproof. You just need to rinse it with water and dry it with towel, the carpet will be ready again.

Why don't you make them out of actual carpet? Leather seems like a weird material for the floor.

Thank you for your advice. The problems is that we haven't found out a traditional material for the carpet that will be easily cleaned yet.
We are actually thinking having a traditional looking carpet clipping on the top of the leather carpet. If the customer wants to have the leather looking, they can remove it. We are working toward that.
I mean, would you prefer something like this?

Very interesting, I'll be watching to see how this goes and the results after mats have been in use for a while.

This black leather might produce an interesting look in the E55...

I think the price point is actually pretty reasonable. me personally, I would be sold on a set with diamond stiching on the sides with a durable carpet bottom sewn in if they were washable and waterproof like the weathe**ech floor liners. The wt floor liners work well but are just cheap overpriced plastic.

Every product of ours will have at least about 3 different colors. We will make sure to have something compatible for brown/tan interior since it's a popular color for interior.

Yep, that's all this carpet about. Each car model will have its unique carpet design.

The price will be affordable to customers. We haven't set the price point yet. However, from the cost of manufacturing, transporting and advertising, it's going be sold at $110-$260
