I placed my order with Suncoast for the Racing Yellow mats.
I wanted these to match my Yellow Stitching interior.





And my RY Porsche Key which I think is going to look so Bad-*** !!!

@Terry - Why 2 sets of mats? Just to have an extra unused/pristine set for posterity?

Seems like a smart bet.

skeeter714,

I'm looking forward to these as they have the Porsche name in Racing-Yellow as well as the Stitching so they are going to look GREAT.

I think I should be Honest and to tell the "Rest-of-that-Story/Situation" since you ask.
When I was placing the order the site automatically changed from 1 to 2 mats so I then thought the pricing must have been for a Single-Mat.
So, the way I figured it ...............
If it turned-out to be two complete sets so be it as we all know OEM mats on the driver's-side don't hold up real long where your shoe touches the mat constantly.

And if it turns out I just actually get one complete set I'm still set.

We shall see as May is when the expected Back-Order is suppose to be back in Stock.

Terry

Lloyds are at least twice as thick so they will last at least twice as long; however, since one cannot get Porsche-branded mats from them there are no other options.

Bob Z,

In the past I ran a lot of the Lloyd custom mats in AMG Mercedes as well as M-Series BMWs and Audi's.
But ..............
Since when I read up on these mats above and found out they are sourced from Porsche and they are in the Racing-Yellow I was sold.
Even if these don't last all that long they are not all that expensive so I'll just order multiple sets as spares.

Lloyd mats are as you say Super Nice.

You’ll get 2 sets! Just had the exact same order come from Suncoast. Enjoy em. They really will tie in the yellow stitching.

skeeter714,

Well I am definitely going to be all set.
I know from the images I saw these are going to be KILLER with my Racing-Yellow interior for sure.

Thanks for the Heads-Up and have a Great Rest-of-the-Day buddy.

Terry, let me know when you get them. I'll take a set off your hands if you want to recoup some money, as long as you're comfortable shipping them to BC.

Randy,

Well my Good-Man in BC the shipping wouldn't be an issue if I was going to get rid of a set.

But ................

I'm going to keep both sets and one will be a back-up set as this will without any doubt be my last Porsche Sports-Car.
So, more than likely I'll be replacing the driver's-side mat as time marches on.

Stay-Safe,
Terry

Thank you for sharing these photos, very helpful and looking forward to seeing a Shark Blue car with Speed Blue stitching in the future.

Could you possibly share a photo showing the deviated green stitching on the steering wheel column?

Thanks
James

Search for the thread about Yellow cars and you will see many - highly recommended.
