Anyone buy aftermarket mats?

I'm looking at a set of Lloyds mats, and was wondering if anyone had any experience. They have the "Turbo" logo, and I was considering going with a black mat with the logo in silver stitching. You can actually add multiple logos "Porsche Turbo" or "911 Turbo" but I'm afraid that won't look right. Any thoughts?

Another + for Lloyds mats. They fit perfectly, and they hold-up well to dirt and everyday use.

Here's a couple pics of mine...

That extra stitching is $15/mat which I think is pretty cheap. I can't decide if it will look right in my car, or not. I have grey carpeting, but am getting black mats. At some point in the future, I would like to swap the grey carpeting for black, and the silver stitching around the borders will look great. I'm afraid it will look stupid in the meantime having a black mat, with silver stitching, on grey carpet. Decisions, decisions.

That's a good question. I might skip the silver edging, just to be different. I do really like the way it looks, though, and it does add a nice bit of color and contrast, which is never a bad thing.

I have used several brands of mats. The Lloyd are good, but the techart looks much better. The downside of techart is they are expensive, take time to be made and imported and wear quicker than the Lloyd, others. For looks, the Techart can not be beat - they are designed to match the factory carpet perfectly vs. the "plush" cut of the Lloyd, which does not match the OEM carpet. Below are comparison pictures of Lloyd vs. Techart. If saving money is not an issue, order the Techart mats. You will love the look.

Lloyd mats


Techart mats - uses factory carpet and matches perfectly - but very costly approx. $400 for a set (includes small rears).
