Winter Mats? Which To Buy?
Larry, report back how you like them. Those seem to have much better capacity for holding liquid than the dealer parts counter variety. You may have changed my mind on them. I'd be curious to see how they attached to the carpet (nothing indicates on the site how that happens) to keep them from sliding around. On my current ones, there is a pin that is in the carpet that snaps into the back end (for my VW).
On the trays/liners.. does anyone have those and if so, can you post some pictures of them installed in your 911? They just seem more intrusive and difficult to remove, but look like they would do much better at keeping the carpet clean in very muddy conditions.
Also, does anyone have pictures

I've got the Weathertech. They are good, don't smell and fully efficient but are only approximately fit for the car. The back mats in particular are to be almost recut by yourself. The front does not fully cover the sides. Not an issue with passengers, but it can be with a dog for example. Mind the cabriolets sizes are different. I believe many car manufacturers get them from the same factory. Porsche's mats are different. They are only available in black and for the front seats
Just got them in today, the fronts fit well, the backs dont really fit well & need to be trimed, the tan is a darker then my stock tan carpet, i think the black mats would have looked better but from what someone told me on here that the black mats show the salt from a lot worse.
Go Weathertech for snow. The OEMs will be great for rain but not deep enough for snow in my option.
I've placed my order for the Weathertechs as well (front row only.. no need for mats in the back row). The Porsche ones provide nothing more than a non-slip surface for wet soles; no real water-capture capacity.
They are the digitalfit weathertechs. I have Bose, but it's a coupe. I guess the fit is different for cabs.
Those are the Weathertech 'trays', not the Weathertech rubber mats, as well. The rubber mats look differently.
Just a not on ordering the Weathertech mats for. take care that you order the right set if you are ordering only the front set and not the set of 4. (Note: I was shopping Convertible/Targa, so I'm not sure if the Coupe selection gives the same results)
The images of the 'front set' are images of the drivers side mat, and there are two options to choose from but both only show the drivers side mat picture (which is really the same mat). One version is for Bose and one for non-Bose.
versus 
There is a text box that tells you about the fitment, but I didn't pay attention to it closely enough and purchased the one that fits for Bose, even though I don't have the Bose installation. As you can see in the images for the full 4 mat sets, the 'Bose' version has a drivers side mat with a curved cut-out to go around the subwoofer...but if you don't have Bose it just looks silly and does not cover all of the floor.

Maybe I'm the only absent minded person to make such a mistake, but I figured it may save someone else having to do a needless exchange.

Wonder if any of you guys have an updated opinion--being a year later on these mats?
From last year for a C4S Cab with Bose --seems like the Weathertech mats or the Porsche ones are the only options. And Weathertech looks better at containing snow/water....?
Thanks in advance.

The weathertechs have worked great. Given the custom fit around the Bose box, they seem ideal. Now if you get in with deep snow packed up to your ankles on your pants, without knocking the snow loose, then a deeper tray mat may be for you, but I've had no issues with the base weathertech rubber.
