i see the:

oem carpet ones $169

oem rubber ones $129

Lloyds plastic $69

Weathertech FRONTS* $99

anything else out there, or anyone find something that matches better to a tan interior?

the oem rubber are straight black and seem to stand out imo, the weathertech come tan but only make fronts and the lloyd's mats seem a little cheap looking, despite my friend having them in his R8... (they slip around)

anyone find something else out there they are using, or maybe someone with rave reviews about the rubber oem ones that will make me forget they are straight black and dont even seem to have an edge on them to catch water.

I have OEM black on a tan interior. I kind of like it. The tan gets dirty quick, and the black hides the crap a little better.

They do have an edge. Holds about a cup of water before you get spill-over on turns. They also have the cut-outs for the retaining pins.

Didn't you get OEM mats with the car? Mine came with them. BTW- always thought it was totally ridiculous that Porsche doesn't include them as standard.

i did, but after only 1 week they are FILTHY!. so im trying to think of alternatives because even the best shampoo job wouldnt clean these stock tan ones. :-(

It took me a while to get used to black mats with a beige interior and nowadays I don't mind it. Get the OEM rubber ones and fuggedaboutit.

I'm don't know how much water you need them to hold, but the oem rubber mats do have a a lip around the entire mat which will catch a reasonable amount. I suppose they will stand out more against your beige than they do against my umber carpet (you can see my cargo mat in the picture) but since you have other black trim in the car I don't see it as a big deal personally.

I just switched from OEM rubber to Weathertech Laser designed. I like them much better for winter they collect quite a lot of water and keep it contained

I bought the Porsche OEM Rubber mats and use those over the black carpet ones that came with the car- probably won't switch back. Prefer the quality and look of the rubber vs. the carpet mats.

Hate the rubber when I have my sandals on/off haha

Not that I am an expert negotiator, but whenever I have purchased a car from the dealer, I have always negotiated in the rubber floor mats (as the deal clincher). That way, I always start out with a choice of mats to use.

my friend said the same about all the parts i bought but i felt i negotiated the deal well enough and didn't want to take advantage of them.. 100$ for the set isn't too bad and they dont wear so can always sell like 70$ down the line so costs $30 to use... not bad.


went ahead and bought the rubber ones today, they dont look "too" bad in the beige.. pics later.
