I like that look... maybe I'll get black next time. If they had Porsche lettering in natural brown, they would look great!

The car I recently purchased has a natural interior with black Lloyds mats (the og natural mats came with it as well). Here is what they look like, though these pictures don't capture the true interior color well:





It's hard to see in these pictures, but there is Porsche embroidery on each mat.

Well I think all the pics sold me on the black floor mats. I was thinking about it last night driving home and the pictures just verified it. I really like that look w the aluminum rings and pedals too. Guess Its already time to start buying more toys for the new toy!

..I think I need that ignition switch too. i have to go search the forum but it's either that or the clutch safety switch (improper name?)

Every now and then I'll put the key in, turn to crank and the electricals will all start up, itll run the fluid check, etc, but the engine doesnt do anything. I think I saw a thread a day or two ago about a similar symptom and those seemed to be the 2 things to look at. Clutch was just done so I'll check that sensor first.

yup - or ignition switch, they are suspect. IIRC some people say its a 10 minute job and I think the new switch is fairly cheap... FWIW

Well that's good news. I'll have to troubleshoot more over the weekend. 90% of the time its fine, but there are the random time or two it takes a second or third try. And thanks!

Oh, btw, where can I find those rings and pedals? I really am loving them.

Don't forget to check the battery too - recent posts about no start with electrical power and it was the battery at fault.

For those of us that live in harsher, muckier climates - any thoughts on rubber mats as opposed to the carpeted ones? Do they make OEM rubber mats? You can write off my ignorance in asking this question to newbie-ism

I bought the black LLoyds front only (Boxster set) with silver Carrera embroidered (there a bunch of choices, if you go LLoyds), from Sunset. They had the best price, even with S&H. The attachment method of the LLoyds is better than OE, and the mats are a better material and construction, by far.
