Floormats?
 
Anybody got a line on the best place to buy floor mats? And by best, I mean cheapest for a quality product.

Are you looking for OEM floor mats? Floor mats that look like OEM with Porsche Script? Or just generic floor mats?

If you want OEM or Near OEM then I think Performance Products has a good list price for them. Somewhere around $60-$90 usually.

I agree with the other posts – it depends on what you want.

After I burned through my stock mats in a year, I figured I needed something a bit more heavy duty so I picked up these rubber mats:

It actually looks really cool in the car (they were custom cut for the Box), and I don’t worry about tracking in snow or salt anymore. That stuff all melts and collects in the hexes in the mat protecting the carpet – every now and then I just hose the mats down. Very effective, very rugged and very cheap.

After almost pulling the trigger on Lloyd Mats (around $100) I remembered these:
https://xweb4.milliken.com/YEW/YESProductLine/Floormats/

Check out this video... https://xweb4.milliken.com/NR/rdonlyres/513334F5-B31C-49D5-AD0B-6B5043DBBA6A/0/YESEssentials.wmv

They are the same price as Lloyd's, are far superior from what I see and I have a 10% promo code if you want it. I got the code by calling Milliken direct. (It never hurts to ask, I always say....5 minutes on phone = 10% discount!) Free shipping as well.

No, I don't work for these guys, I hardly know them, but I remembered finding them awhile back and this thread spurred me to try to find them. Since my '05's mats are already worn through, I've ordered a set for the Boxster as well as a front/rear for wifes LL Bean Outback. I'll try to remember to post back when they arrive.

The Lloyd mats (Ultimats) are more than twice as thick as OEM mats - soft, and customizable. Great product...

Weathertech
 
I just picked up a set of black Weathertech mats for my 987. They were about $60 bucks, and they fit the footwell perfectly. (cut to fit your make and model) It is a nice, heavy rubber mat that traps all of the dirt, snow, and water that you might bring into your car. I wish Porsche made a good OEM rubber floormat, but this set is probably just as good as what the dealer would give you.

That's my $.02

Looks similar in concept to the ones I picked up - great for those NJ winters.

Dr. Kill, I just ordered a set of these today. I hope I like them! Thanks for the link. :)

Hi,

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but on a related note, if soiled, check w/ your local Dry Cleaners. Many are now advertising cleaning carpeted Floormats. One close to me charges $5 for the set and they come back looking brand new. Of course, this assumes yours are simply soiled and not worn. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Good tip, Jim...I'll ask Mr. & Mrs. Chen the next time I go to the dry-cleaners.

I have te trunk mats from Tequipment. Both front & rear. They are great...fit like a glove.

dapper_boxster 03-05-2007 04:19 PM

lloyd matts looks pretty good to me

FrayAdjacent 03-06-2007 08:44 AM

My OEM floor mats are showing their age... they were not well cared for by the PO. I'm thinkin I might go with the rubbery ones that bmussatti posted. I like a little ruggedness!
