Floor Mats

[Boxtaboy]

Here's a set I use in my car in the winter months. They are MOMO aluminum floor plates that you screw into your mats. They connect by way of 4 small allen screws (so you have to be comfortable with putting holes in your mats). The screw attaches on the underside of the mat with a neat flat receiver, so it won't damage your carpet under the mats in any way. What I found great about these floor plates is that they really increase the life of your mats because you no longer get wear near the heal area where the gas pedal is. I've had these in for years, and there's still no wear on the mats in that pedal area. LOL.





And here's a set I use during the summer months. They are Lloyd's mats with red piping surrounding them, but you can get them in any color. They have Boxster in white stitched into them as well...

The red stitching looks great. The problem I have with most of these mats, is that they are almost too nice to use on the regular basis. What about track mats, or something similarly industrial looking ?

Thx, well, I guess you could go with either the aluminum track mats or diamond plate floor mats, but for me personally, I want some luxury feel, and so would prefer to have some carpeting still in the mats, instead of an all metal flooring.

If you order your mats with yellow piping (your car is yellow, right?) and keep the mat itself black, I think it would look nice, while not really having to worry too much about getting the mats dirty. Black seems to hide dirt pretty well, IMO.

I have the original set of oem mats that are pristine. Maybe I will just stick with them. Although, I do like the Momo plates.

p.s. You're right about the aluminum diamond plate mats. Those are too cheesy for even Liberace to put in his car !

Looking for everyday mats? Try EBay. I've also got the Lloyds mats in back with red "Boxster" and a silver "S", trunk mat also. They look great! I keep them for date nights and PCA events. My everyday mats are OEM and a set of aftermarket junk mats. I treat them like your sister.

I bought a set of Lloyds mat and really thought they would be a great visual upgrade.

I'm pleased with the quality. But as much as I like mine and bought conservative colours (black with silver lettering and black piping) I still find them a little "bold." That cockpit is a pretty small place. Anytime you are sharing that limited real estate with a piece of typography that big it can seem a little heavy.

As is so often the case, I find myself just liking the OEM mats better -- a little more subdued. I'm boring.

I just bought the same Lloyds mats for my triple black 2002 Boxster. The main difference from the OEM mats is that they are a 'darker' black (or the OEMs faded to dark gray) and the lettering is silver vs. black. I think they look great! A nice upgrade.
Plus 1 for Lloyds.
