Default floormats???

any suggestions on best vendor to find floormats for an '08 997 Cab in natural brown leather. I hate to be forced to go to the dealer. Imagine that...buy new car that has an MSRP of $106,969 and they want to charge me $140 for floormats. An afterthought that was not made clear until I took delivery of the car and asked why there were no floormats.

thanks

thanks Eric. I think my biggest problem is going to be trying to match the natural brown leather interior color with an aftermarket mat manufacturer. But I'll give it a shot. May have to go to the dealer after all.

I bought custom Lloyd mats and they fit perfectly and wear better than the oem mats. You can check out their web site

Instead of matching the leather, consider trying Cocomats and get a woven mat that suits the interior. I replaced my black Porsche mats with woven black and red mats and they look great. If I remember correctly there are some great single color or dual color mats that would look great with natural brown. These things look fantastic and also wear like iron. The website is:

I have several mats that all go with the natural brown. I have a set of cocomats which wear very well, the OEM stuff, and a set of Lloyds. Colors match well save the coco,--a little lighter....see pics

You gotta love the $140 mat.
Can you imagine delivering a new Honda to a customer and then telling them that the mats are $140?
But you know what? My next p-car will have the $140 mats.

Yes. But on the flipside, why would you care about paying $140 for floormats after spending $106,969 on a car? If you want the floormats to match the color perfectly, isn't that worth spending a couple of twenties more on Porsche mats?

Ferraris and Lamborghinis don't come with floor mats either. These cars are all about prestige and exclusivity. If you expected value, you're looking in the wrong place.

The factory mats are really inferior to the Lloyds mats, and cost more, I believe. Lloyds mate were a perfect color match.

You can custom embroider the Lloyds mats also. Mine say "Carrera S" as Lloyds doesn't have a license to do "Club Coupe."

Great find and buy! Is the passenger side for the Cab - the cutout on the left side of that mat looks like it's meant to accomodate the Bose. I had a set of Weathertech rubber mats that were cut that way and they replaced the passenger side for one that fits the coupe.
