Just ordered a set of new matts from Performance Products.
Does anyone know how the Lloyd matts compare to the factory matts? I am on my 4th set of factory matts and I only drive the car 3k miles per year. They wear out wayy too fast. I opted for teh Lloyd this time around to see how they hold up.
The quality is awesome, I bought a pair last year. However, be advised, the thread used in the logo doesn't clean up well at all. My disappointment has been that the beautiful color of the letters lasts about two months, and thats with summer use only and clean shoes!
I have a set of Llyod's mats as you see here, and it has held up really over a period of a year. Still no wear marks.
Just for a change, I also installed some Momo aluminum mat plates on my OEM mats, to see how I'd like them. And whether you think it's ricey or not, they do prevent wear on the mats.

TriGem, when you get your new matts, spray them with a high quality fabric protector (like a 3M product). You can usually find good stuff at a hardware store. This will help a lot, to keep them clean and more stain resistant. Weekly vacuuming also helps a lot too.
I too have heard good things about the Lloyds matts.
Bmuss - Would the fabric protector help with the actual wear of the matts? I've never had a real problem with my matts getting dirty. They always seem to wear out exactly where my heals apply pressure on them.
See picture below...Notice the Driver side matt...
TriGem, well dirt and moisture will accelerate the 'wear' process so I think fabric protector and weekly vacuuming will help the mats last longer. Think of the dirt particle as sand paper, and wearing down the carpet fibers.
Regardless, the Lloyd's mats are pretty high quality and should last longer.
Have you considered the rubber hexo mats in black?
