My 997 has really nice condition floor mats I don't want to use. Right now I have super cheap rubber mats from Target covering them.

I'm mostly worried about the wear spot that starts to form near the clutch pedal. What are you guys/gals using for floor mats? I think I want to buy a second set and wear those out instead.

I was wondering how long you've had your mats and whether or not a spot is forming near the clutch pedal (or anywhere else). Not sure why I'm so **** about floor mats...

Thanks.

 

we bought a custom set of floor mats that are clear plastic a little over two years ago that don't show any wear. I think we bought them from pelican.

 

What color are you looking for? Suncoast has a set of front/rear porsche ones for $35, just the fronts are $25. Have them in stone grey which looks fine in a black interior to me, as well as tan.

Otherwise living in the PNW I have carpet ones in the back and the porsche rubber ones up front.

I'm very fussy about floor mats too. My car came with the factory mats plus a set of Porsche rubber mats. I'm fussy enough that I didn't want to damage the Porsche rubber mats, so I ordered a set of Weathertech mats. Had them in for one season and so far, so good, no spot forming. I know exactly what you mean as I just wore through the Ford rubber mat in my F150 work truck with my heel.

 

At $25, deal of the decade, even with the shipping charge

 

I got tired of spending over $100 every other year on factory. My heel keeps wearing a hole wear gas pedal is. So I just ordered a set of custom aluminum mats. Taste is not for everyone though.

 

I got the Porsche rubber mats and 15K later I see no wear. I don t like carpet, Too dirty, LOL.

 

I bought the Porsche all weather mats and 25K miles later they still look like new when I wipe them off. Fit is excellent and they lay flat. They are a soft, flexible rubber unlike the Weather Tech mats which tend to be hard and slippery.

 

I got the weather tech ones since I lived in Chicago, for the snow and salt, 3 years and they still look ok....

 

Rennline track mats....they never wear but can scratch. Got them for both sides.

Wow, those look nice.

I'm worried about rubber mats, because the last rubber mats I got stunk up the interior and never seemed to go away. Even after removing them it took a few days for the smell to go away.

 

I've never had an issue with odors from rubber mats and have had several in different vehicles. I typically stick with a brand name like Weathertech or the actual Porsche mats. Funny that you mention that though. I bought some great rubber wheel chocks as I don't like to leave my e-brake on for extended periods of time. They were brutal for a strong rubber odor. They stunk up the whole garage. I ended up leaving them outside for 3-4 weeks before they lost their smell.

 

I use standard Porsche carpeted mats and I replace them when they are worn.

 

I bought a set of the floor mats in stone grey from Suncoast at the price mentioned and they are great. Have had them for six months and showing no signs of wear.
