I think ALL OEM mats are made to be replaced every few years.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys, I've been driving Porsches now for approximately 8 years now and have an odd observation. The OEM maps don't seem to last. I'm getting ready for my third set. It seems I am constantly wearing a little hole with my left heel while using the clutch. Does anyone else notice the reduced durability of the OEM mats? I'm a little leary to try Lloyd's (who have a deeper and stronger **** if you will) because I hate the clip attachment, which I've used on other cars. The OEM velcro attachment has ALWAYS stayed in place for me and facillitates removal. Any thoughts?
I think ALL OEM mats are made to be replaced every few years. They are not the best carpet quality, and when you think about it, they do what they are supposed to - protect the carpet underneath.
I wonder if you can transplant the velcro circle from the OEM mat to the Lloyds?
imo lloyd mats are superior to oem. the attachment is no big deal. i purchased a set of aluminum race mats and place them over the lloyds for everday driving and remove them on weekends for the occasional use. keeps your mats like new.
nyc, I'm getting the same deal, but can't complain since Porsche's mats aren't any more or less special than any other OEM mat out there. I wonder if Sunset sells them.
Well said. You're right, it does the job. I guess I'm just being cheap. I'll have to check with the dealer and see if they can sell one mat at a time. What bothers me is that some of the older Porsche mats used to have reinforced carpet under the heels. I guess they went the way of the dodo when it came time to cut production costs.
I think EVERYTHING is getting cheaply made now, and with car manufacturers, saving $5 each mat by using lower-quality carpet adds up quickly. Shame, but easily fixable by buying a set of Lloyds!
if i did own a porsche store, i'd be WAY nice (professional) online and be that salesman that sells like crazy with crazy awesome customer service.
nah i was just being lazy and copied from an email from

. looks like i need to go with the lloyd set since i have no use for more rear mats.
Are you just looking for front mats?
If so and you do not have a cab/targa with the Bose footwell sub you can get a set of OEM Boxster Mats for $100.
Same mat and the set is just the fronts.
3 words - Rennline track mats, you won't go back after that. They come in silver & black and fit BETTER than a glove.
BTW it's been a beautiful spring week here...time to change the avatar.
You would be Eric of Bumperplugs! Can't see it.
I agree 100% - my rear mats are like new, since nobody who could reach the floor would fit in the back!
Very happy with the Lloyds mats, better quality than OEM. Nice thing is that you can cutomize them with the color of your choice to sorta personalize them (this is about my limit for interior decorating...).
+1.
In addition to which, the pile of the Lloyd's mats is closer in depth and texture to the carpeting, to my eye anyway. I think they look right at home. I use my OE mats for the winter.
Not from my experience - I have black which has a bit of a rough texture, got through the winter & spring with no issues. The silver may be a different story but the guy I spoke to at Rennline said more than half the people who order these don't even actually use them for the track.

Don,
You have Savannah biege right??? Cuz i was going to order a set and the LLoyds sample my dealer had for savannah was not even close to the shade of my OEM mats>>>hhmmm...where did you get yours???
Guys...also if you only need front mats ..you can order a Boxtser OEM set...same size/fit/...no rears...cheaper..

I can't for the life of me remember where I ordered them from, it's been over a year now. They are the Lloyds mats in Savanna (that much I remember). I did order them online, so you can order only front mats if you want, and pick what logo and color you want as well. I ordered all 4 mats with the additional "Carrera" logo in red and the total was around 180-190 - I can remember that though! My car came with black mats, so I can't compare them to OEM Savanna mats, but the color is very close to the carpet in the car, maybe a bit brighter since the car is a 2000.
I paid $115 for a set of Lloyds from Pelicans I think. Better carpet than OEM but the anchor system sucks IMO. If Lloyds would adopt the Velcro system that Porsche use they would have a win win.
Ugggh. I hate the OEM 'mounting' system. Velcro? For Real? My Audi had a great snap in hole system to retain mats.
I will be going Rennline soon (although I would use them for track and street) because I don't want to go on a 3rd set. The OEM mats pile like crazy but my worn spot isn't on the clutch, it's on the go pedal side
I just installed Lloyds mats today and I really like their mounting system. One of my OEM velcro tabs fell off the drivers side, so it was't fastened in place. The Lloyds seem to be of higher quality, they fit better and I prefer the fastening system so far.
+1 for Lloyds.
What shoes are you guy wearing that puts a hole in the mat quickly? I think dress shoes tend to wear out the mat faster.
I have an extra set (F&R) of lightly used OEM mat in black. If anyone wants to buy it, PM me.

These things are indestructible. Mine are 3 years old and don't show any wear. They don't require any mounting hardware and fit perfectly. They don't slide around at all. I'll take some pics after I vacuum my car....
yeah, I'm due for a new set too....my driver's side slides around too much, sometimes bunching up under the clutch - first time it happened it prevented me from starting the car, thought it was a problem but was just the mats.
Lloyd's - is that what you guys advise?
Those cocomats remind me of ones I used to see in Mercedes.
The track mats 'look' awful in my opinion.
Stock or Lloyd's is the only way to go, IMHO. But man, I love the easy access velcro fasteners. Reminds me of Z-Cavariccis from the 80s...and holy ****,
they're back

When I bought my Cab, the first thing I did was put the "almost new" factory mats in a box to aid future resale of the car, then got a set of Lloyds for daily use. After a couple of years, the Lloyds still look good.
i just ordered a set of LLoyds from;
