Default Floor Mats?

Can anyone recommend where to get a good deal on oem mats, or recommend aftermarket ones if they're better? I think the actual name of my interior is "Natural Brown", so I'd probably prefer that color. Im indifferent on if it comes w rears or not as I dont plan to have people back there frequently.

I just bought a set of new natural brown floormats for my car. I went with OEM mats, directly from Porsche. Sunset Imports has good prices.

I know there are several aftermarket brands as well, but I haven't had any experience with them.

what color do you want? I have a brand new set of tequipment (oem from dealer) savanna front and rears I have been thinking about letting go (I think I want black mats)

PM me if interested - they are about $120 new, I would let them go for much less...?

What color is savanna? Not sure how well that would match. I cant decide if I want exact matching or black, im trying to find pics of each to see what I prefer

Zookie - Any idea if I would also go with the boxster ones if I just wanted fronts? It says for carrera coupes, so not sure if theyre different than the cabs.

I like Lloyds floor mats. I've used them in my Vettes for years. Just got new mats for my Targa delivered yesterday, but didn't get a chance to open the box and instal them yet...maybe this evening.

Here's a link to the website where I ordered them.
--> http://www.buycarfloormats.com/

It's a sister site to Southerncarparts.com, a Vette parts and pieces website.

I cant tell from your picture if your interior is natural brown or savanna (both stock colors)

I dunno, there's something really nice about black floormats in the beige interior.... One of my personal favorites.... worth considering IMHO.

Almost forgot, black stays a LOT cleaner, too - just shake 'em out.

Default Can't you picture it???

I can just picture black floormats in this.... Seems like it completes the whole 2-tone nature of the dash / trim...

If so the little bits of silver would be enhanced with some aluminum pedals too
