Default Just got my new Lloyds mats...

Ordered black on the suggestion of someone on the forum (my car has Classic Grey) and it made a big difference. I made the mistake of ordering it with two logos though and its a bit busy. Next time I'm just getting the Porsche lettering and be done with it.

The old set the came with my car had discolored into a purple/blue. I've seen it on many pics of Classic Grey interiored 993. And it doesn't have the funky belt securing system, instead it used the buttons that are on the carpet.

Got it from Performance. Just FYI.

Mine were discolored also so I bought liquid dye at KMart, soaked 'em in that for an hour and they look brand new!

Tex,

It was MY brilliant idea (another in a long list) suggesting black mats with the Classic Gray interior. Glad you like the combo....

What two logos did you get on the mats??

Just ribbing you. The two logs are the Porsche block letters and the Carrera Script. It might not look to bad if they had off set the Carrera script or made it smaller.

I have a grey interior, got any pics of the mats we can look at?

BTW, I just noticed you have a 993 and a 997...it will be interesting to see how the 997 ages in comparison with the air cooled 993 over time. How do you like the 997?

Hi
I am getting new mats for when my 993 is delivered in two weeks (cant wait) and was asking myself this question....gray or black to go with the gray interior....sounds like you guys have gone for black, where did you get them from and did you go for gray thread for the words or ???

Thanks

What ever gray interior you have, you'll be happier in the long run with the OEM black Lloyd mats. My car is a '97 with Classic Gray interior and was delivered with black floor mats with red PORSCHE embroidery. I tried gray floor mats and they are a PITA to keep clean. The black floor mats with the red lettering really look best and set off the otherwise pretty dull interior color.

You can now (again, finally) by the Lloyd high quality mats, the same as those that came with your car, with the proper PORSCHE embroidery. StrasseUSA sells them. I don't have their info handy, but they have a website and are in California. Talk to Gabe Strasse. Tex (above) bought his from Performance Parts and I think you can buy them directly from Lloyds (manufacturer) website.
