has anyone installed these on a Euro-spec RHD 993? I assume they will require some modification to fit?

TIA

I'm interested in how its holding up. The driver's side floorboard is uneven at numerous spots, wonder if the mat would bend if you step in the wrong place. Only one of those square levelers are supplied.
I have a set. I don't feel either side bend at all nor is it uneven. I think it's designed quite well. I did add some grip tape since clambering over the door bars in wet shoes can result in slippage without the extra friction.

Looks nice but I suspect that the perforated version will allow more dirt into the pedal cluster area under the board?

And a pain in the ace if you drop your one key back in there!

It's an optical illusion. Those are not holes in my partial floorboard. Those are just recessed painted/anodized black circles. Not perforated. Yes, the 4 pedals are perforated.

Really? Considering that my question was partially based on the overarching irony that a guy who regularly posts on a Porsche enthusiast board starts a thread about whether or not owners are emotional about their cars, despite Quadcammer having been amusingly outed by 95_993 for his love of the marque (still waiting for a response to that unearthed post) and partially based on wondering why a guy who is so passionless about his 993 and who drives a street car cares one whit about weight, other than to be the proverbial troll and try to **** in another thread, I had to ask why he would care because obviously he does not. Hope that makes sense.

This Thanksgiving has made very thankful that I'm not you.






(Alternate ending: Would you like me to weigh my Rennline and wood pedal boards so that you can see how many ounces you can save, Mr. Enthusiast? Ya might like yer car more... )

So...the perforated floorboards aren't actually perforated?

I've seen many and guess I just haven't actually looked. Is this true?

The floorboards are, indeed, perforated. They holes are not an optical illusion.
