Thoughts: Quilted Aliexpress Mats
 
Wondering what these might look like. I'm sure they are cheap but on the other hand might give the car a fun or unique feeling. Wondering what others think, worth it as an experiment or hideous terrible idea?

They have a custom-fit set for Porsche.

Personally, I'd pass. However, if it lights your fire go for it.

PorscheCrazy 12-06-2017 01:42 AM

I say go for it. For the price, worth the experiment.

For $128 I thought I'd give it a shot. Says 30 days before I see them, coming from China. My experience says probably 45 days, but we'll see. I'll post pics when I get them.

I have seen them in a Bentley. Looked pretty good. Not sure about the quality.

Like I said for $128 it’s worth finding out. I requested black with red stitching and I already received confirmation they can do it as I requested. Now I just have to settle back for a month and wait. That’s the biggest cost of Chinese goods, the wait.

Ok the mats arrived today, earlier than I expected. I ordered them on 12/23 and they arrive 1/10, all the way from China. So far so good.

What I can't say is good is the package they came in:

I will say though that the bag is hard to open and it protected the mats fine. Once I did get it opened the contents were:

All form fitting and pretty nice. The "PVC leather" is what you'd expect, but it did look decent. The threadwork is great.

The mats have a good heft to them. I'm not exactly sure how to fasten them in the car. The have these odd rivet like things with a strange back peice:

No instructions came with the mats (of course) so I may end up having to fabricate my own method of installation if I can't get an answer from the seller. Still they look good installed (I test fit them over the existing Porsche rubber mats):

Overall for $128 coming from an unknown company I think they look pretty good for installing for Cars and Coffee or any other car show. They are form fitting and absolutely made specifically for the car. While I think they will wear well I'd get black stitching if I was going to buy them for daily use, just to prevent discoloring over time. I got red stitching (you can specify what you want when ordering) to go with the red seat belts and SC dial in the car. It really sets things off! I can't wait for the weather to be nicer to do the real installation.

Thanks for the followup. I agree they look good for $128. Those metal tabs look kinda weird, wondering if they are some sort of magnets of something? This has piqued my interest!

Porschejeff 01-11-2018 06:49 PM

Sorry, that would give me a headache if that were in my car. A bit too busy for my taste. Whatever floats your boat!

You are an adventurous sport for taking the dive and ordering them. I have to say though I really don’t like them. Don’t look right in a Pcar for me. But I don’t have to like them, you do.

fanboy 01-12-2018 07:11 PM

Jury's out for me to be honest. I like the pleated look but I'm not sure it fits the Germanic styling in the 911. We'll see what it looks like come springtime. With the weather turning bad again I don't think I'll be able to try for awhile.
