Try www.RANDS.NET Their email is randsauto@yahoo.com I bought mine from them off ebay. They were expensive, $191.00, which included shipping and insurance. But they do look good. I think they have a crest embroidered onto the mat. Their phone number is (323) 934-4567 Hope this helps. Take care, Rob.

My OEM floor mats bought at a Porsche dealer a few years back do have the crest:

The mats I was refering to that were being sold at the Porsche swapmeet last year were $100 for the 2 pc fronts. Black with full color embroidered crests.

DJF1,

I realize the Porsche once permitted mats to have the crest, however that was stopped some time ago, presently, no company is licensed to produce the crest on floor mats. Of course local dealers might have had new old stock crest mats for sale for sometime after the production and licensing was stopped.

Just because there are no companies currently licensed to produce mats with the embroidered crest, doesn't mean that there are NO companies currently producing mats with the embroidered crest!!!!

Are the Brazilian mats worth the price (i.e., $79.99 + $24.99 S. & H.)? Anybody here bought a set for a 993 and can comment?

TIA,

Correct, there are companies currently producing mats with Porsche crest without licensing by Porsche. However, every one of these that I have seen are not exact reproductions of the Porsche crest. As stated on the posts on page one of this thread, the counterfeit crests usually are missing details or are not proportionally correct. As I said in my first post, most people never notice the flaws and the crests look pretty good. The purpose of all my posts on this subject was just to point out that newly-produced mats with crests are not genuine Porsche items and may have flaws in the details of the crest.
