I run weathertechs in my Silverado and love them for collecting debris and fluids, but these look really nice and easier to clean. The weathertechs are a pain to clean (mine are gray and they won't come clean from stains and wear, but it's a truck and I don't care. I am going to have to order the Porsche ones since I live in Seattle and it always rains here, right, lol.
Thanks for the great pics, everyone.
Mine arrived late yesterday afternoon. For $88 + shipping, I am thrilled. The passenger side fit is really good. The driver side fit is just ok, better than a sharp stick in the eye. As they soften up in wamer weather, I suspect they will conform better. But a set of WeatherTech mats that came with my 986 fit much better.
The mats also seem to scuff very easily. I had on boat shoes with a dark brown soles when I first drove the car. What you see in the pictures is after a quick wipe with a microfiber towel. But again comparing them to the WeatherTech, it seem that is just the nature of the beast with "rubber" mats.
Just so this is not taken as a negative review, I will try them in my Boxster later this weekend and if they fit reasonably well, I will order a set for it too.
How thick are these? Do they fold/roll easy? I'd prefer stiffer ones as they hold up better. Also does the clutch pedal get stuck when pushed all the way down? I am having that problem with my OEM carpet ones.
These are pretty much the same as the ones from Porsche for my Cayenne and former 997. I would say they are stiff with no roll up issues. Also, they stay clear of all pedals.
Anyone want to comment on how these are holding up?
Just fine. They show dirt more than the black carpet mats did, since the dirt can't disappear down in the nap like it does in carpet. But easier to clean and overall tidier-looking in my opinion. Just survived these conditions at Watkins Glen!
Seem like a great deal for the $$. Just a matter of preference between the more "plush" feel of carpeted mats.
I daily drive my car and already have the factory matts. I just don't like getting in with wet feet. I work (recycling) were there's a lot of fine broken glass that sticks to the shoes when wet or dry...
I have rubber in my truck (wife's daily driver) and love to be able to just pull them and shake them off vs vacuuming.
Just my unsolicited 2 cents, but I wouldn’t leave any floor mats (carpet or rubber) in a car on the track.
I would agree if they are loose and not properly secured to the floor. The whole point of OE mats in modern cars is that they fit perfectly and are securely attached to the floor, and thus don't move around or have any loose edges. This has eliminated the old premise of autocross tech inspections worldwide that the floor mats are going to bunch up under the pedals and cause fiery death.
