You must be looking for mats like these? A seller on Ebay was doing them as late as last year. I didn't bother buying a set of them instead bought a set of the black Weathertech tray style

Default Porsche Crests on Mats

The Porsche crest is no longer available on mats sold by sellers licensed by Porsche. It's been perhaps 10 years or more. The reason I have heard is that the Porsche family did not want people placing their feet on the company's symbol. Who knows.

The eBay seller is not a licensed retailer of Porsche-logoed mats. I bought a set of his mats. The quality was very good, however the reproduction of the crest, while great-looking at a glance, was a bit off. It is missing the word 'Stutgart' in the center and the gold color was not quite right. His crests are the largest I've seen on a floor mat.

I had an '87 with the original Lloyds crest mats (photo below) and my RS America has rear deck mats with Lloyds crest mats. The crests on these floor mats are smaller, offset towards the tunnel and are yellow rather than gold in color. However, every detail of the crest matched the correct Porsche mats. The yellow is interesting as many Porsche crest decals sold by Porsche has yellow in place of the gold. And, the dealers also sell decals with gold crests. On both sets of mats, the crest are the same size which is smaller than the eBay seller's crests.

I have Lloyds in my 993 (black), and also had them in my previous 964 (beige).

Great quality, very durable and the colour and fabric texture match the original interior perfectly.

However, buying from Pelican was a real disappointment.

They sent me the wrong mats several times over, and kept blaming me for the mistake. As a result, I spent literally hundreds of dollars on shipping and customs fees, as mats were being sent back and forth.

Af the problem persisted, their Customer Service Line became less and less helpful.

In the end, the last set of mats I returned to Pelican were apparently lost in the mail... or so Pelican said. The courier said the mats were delivered and signed for!

Finally, I gave up on Pelican and wrote off the $600+ I had spent on mats and several times shipping and customs charges.

Instead I and placed an order with Paragon, and got the right mats at a good price. Easy, quick and good!

Thanks for the pics. They do look nice. I guess I'm just remembering the cocoa mats from the 70s. Reminiscent of the older cars. I had some in my BMW 2002tii. So it's kinda nostalgic for me (in a good way.)

Those look pretty good. I may have to get a set.....

You could get yourself the Lloyd's mats in whatever color you choose and take them to an embroidery shop with a copy of the Porsche shield You'll end up paying a little bit more to get the logo as large as you want done. As long as you don't sell them, you should be fine.

Or you could just buy the Porsche patch and have it sewn to the floor mat.
