Group Buy on Deckadence Flooring...

[Duncan]

I think the key to templating is accepting that it is an iterative process: You will start off with waaaaaay too much plastic, slowly work it into the corners and curves, making it more and more smooth as you work on it. This will take time, and you WANT to take time so it ends up as nice as possible. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up doing it twice - the techniques and "feel" I learn in the first pass will let me do a better job on the second.

Any idea on how fast Deckadence will want to receive the template? I am not going to have time to cut it for a few weeks.

I suggest calling them next week as planned, but telling them you cannot actually send it immediately. That will establish you as part of this group buy.

Confirmed my order with Decadence this morning. I am ordering samples of the Graphite, Deck Gray and Luna Silver. The Graphite and Deck gray I believe are the colors Tige uses. He did say that the graphite can get hot and the deck gray would be better for 100+ heat we get in California. He didn't want to scare me away from the Graphite (its one of the most popular colors) and said it airs out pretty well and is cooler than many other materials but that he would expect the deck gray to be cooler in direct sun.

Duffy, you can use my template at your own risk . He said the Tige's generally haven't been as bad as other boats as far as customizations for hatches seating etc. The only issue we might run into might be the captain's seat and helm wall if it changed at all between 2004 and 2005. The rest I think is the mold which I doubt changed much?

I hope to get to templating them soon!

Forgot to mention one more thing. I was on a Moomba a few days ago (off topic but it was sacked out for surfing and was really good on both sides!) and it had a similar material in the locker and my buddy asked me if it was the same stuff (he also had it in the locker of a sea ray and I had another friend ask if it was the same as the locker on his old sea ray). Found out some interesting info:

1) They made a cheaper material for lower price to hit a budget market for pool mats and a few other things at one point in time. It was 1/3 the thickness and had a cheaper backing that would require it to be glue down. He said it might have been that material and used on lockers.

2) He said 3M also sold "spaghetti" matting for while and it looked very similar to decadence but was not as soft and it causes some confusion sometimes too.

Anyway. Long and short of it, I felt the locker mat in the moomba and it was awesome for the lockers and to be honest, wouldn't be too bad for a flooring compared to carpeting but it isn't as thick or soft as decadence and since it doesn't have the non slip backing it would need to be snapped down or glued.

Folks, I will follow up with Deckadence and report back. I presume it's a "GO" but got swamped by some business issues this morning so didn't contact him first thing. More when I know it....

[CarFanatic]

I Was just going to ask if we just call in or what the procedure was?

[IDBoating]

Yep, just talked with him. Two of us have already called and committed. He's waiting for more to do so. Give Paul a call direct at 1-778-387-2535 (Canadian #), he's ready to set everyone up. Report back here when you've placed your order, with details!

wired1236 - Thanks for the picture. My carpet is the same as yours. What color Deckadence is this? Graphite or Deck Gray?

[Duncan]

I called Paul and signed up for the deal. He took no payment info btw, just added me to the list.

[LKG PH Creek]

Just to make sure I understand.....
for a 2014 Z3, I am to work through my dealer first?

I would call Paul first and get his instructions. 1-778-387-2535.

Spoke to Paul and signed up for the deal. He will be emailing me the template for the r20 to confirm if it is the same for the RZR. Does anyone know if they are the same?

[CarFanatic]

well I talked to paul and since I have a 2014 I have to buy through a dealer. IF you have a 2013 or 14, you will have to buy from a dealer, which I am sure is double what the group buy price would be.

Sorry for that. If you have "trouble" with ordering through the dealer that may give him an opening to work directly with you. Just a thought.

Think I would have made a "mistake" and actually have a '12
