Nice. I need to get those mats to complete the red/black thing I've got going on inside. Red gauges, red belts and red stitching/strip on the steering wheel. Question: I bought a set of Lloyds mats 5-6 years ago and they used a weird and frankly useless fastening system consisting of some wimpy clips that attached to the bottom of the seats somehow. Can't remember the exact design and install but whatever it was, it didn't work. The mats kept coming lose just about every time I got in and out of the car. Lived with it for a while but trashed them fairly soon thereafter and just bought a new OEM set. Are they still using these plastic clips to hold them in place?
Sandwedge, check out Autopreme mats (www.autopreme.com). They offer an option with red stitching and they are fantastic mats. I put them into my widebody Cayenne project. Not only do they look super high-end, they feel great, even on bare feet, protect the whole original carpet and you can just brush the dirt out of the car since they cover the whole floor and go up the sides so dirt doesn't collect at the edge. I'll never buy another type of floor mat again. Here are pics of my Cayenne ones, which is white on the exterior.

Thanks for the pointer Pete. Cool floor mats (every time I get in/out of my 2012 Cayenne Turbo, my foot clips that outer plastic rail. PIA. So I like how these Autopreme mats cover up the sides too. I have Weathertech in there now, but also hate how they cover up my illuminated door sills)
Question: On the Autopreme website, the pictures and descriptions do NOT do a good job of differentiating between their "Essential", "Premium", and "Platinum" variants. Have you done those comparisons? and which do you have in your cars? I need a set in my 997.2.
Oh & Btw Sandwedge, I have Lloyd mats in my 964 Turbo (probably about 10yrs old now), and yes they have the straps with plastic clips that connect between the straps you put underneath your seat around the framing, and then clip to the mat side. I switch back & forth to my original floor mats for Concours about 3 - 4 times a year, and it's easy to do. And they do not move when I'm driving. I've enjoyed them, but maybe that is because they just seem to work fine in my 964.

I have the standard or Essential versions. I purchased my set as part of a Kickstarter campaign when they were being developed and at that time they only offered the Essential & Premium versions. I believe the Premium version had that removable fuzzy or carpet section that I didn't particularly like the look of. The Platinum mats I believe have an embossed pattern on the material that looks like carbon fiber. If I were to put a set in my 997, I'd go the platinum route for the pattern that goes with the rest of the interior carbon fiber accents I have in that car. In both my 997 and my 928 I have leather Inpelle floor mats, which were the best I could find prior to these Autopreme ones. The Inpelle ones in my 997 have a carbon fiber look heel pad but don't have the deviated stitching and the diamond pattern is smaller.

That looks really good Pete. In a whole different league than Lloyds with their worthless fasteners. Thanks for the link. Will order over the weekend.
After putting a couple hundred miles this weekend for my bday, I cleaned her all up today and parked her knowing it's going to be a while before I drive her again. Feels like I'm storing the car for the winter, but it's not time. Plan on driving for another month or more before winter storage blues sets in.
I got my RS mounts in today, along with a new expansion tank and diagnosed the PSE system (bad solenoid-not holding pressure) and found a dangdiddlydoodle nail in my right rear tire. Trip to Discount tomorrow. New Shiny Tank and RS mounts Bad bad solenoid
Well that completely sucks. You find something awesome like this and then boom, out of business. Next best ones I've found are the Inpelle leather mats I have in my 997 and 928
I think they have a deviated stitching option too where you could get red. Depending in when they're doing the production runs though, it can take a few weeks to receive them. If interested I can give you contact info.
