Default Buying new Lloyd mats. Trying to decide on Lettering.


Any feedback, Have Porsche logo only or add Carrera or 911 with the Porsche logo. Not sure if it may be to much. Want it to look OEM. You feedback is appreciate.

This is a personal choice. Both might be too much. Subtle often shows more. Pick one. What kind of car do you have.

less is more, especially on a Porsche. My opinion, of course

Aside from the lettering, have you had Lloyd mats before? I bought a set and threw them in the trash after about a month of trying to live with the fastening clips that don't work. At least not on my car but I've read about similar complaints from others so I'm pretty sure it's a poor design. The barbs on the "male" clip you insert into the female portion just aren't wide enough to hold it in place and the mats disconnect from what's supposed to hold them in place and end up all over the place on the floor.

Out of curiosity I actually called them and asked why they just don't put small pieces of velcro on the bottom like the factory mats. Got a convoluted response that made no sense along with a caution not to try that solution myself since it would ruin the mat.???? Hence the trash can solution for me.

Agree that their fastening system sucks. I just cut the straps off and then applied heavy duty industrial strength Velcro pieces under the mat to mate with the factory receivers, and that worked.

I’ve not had problems with mine although they are a Pia when moving the seat back. Rabbit I bet the red stays cleaner looking and on a black mat really pops out.

Like the plain "PORSCHE" lettering. Look at amazon eagle claw mat holders. They have worked great for me, never had a slipped mat again.
