I run weathertechs in my Silverado and love them for collecting debris and fluids, but these look really nice and easier to clean.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Yeah, I see those and have them in my car, but I figured those probably grip carpet mats better. Doesn't seem like they'd have a positive lock on a rubber mat. Would like to see the bottom of the rubber mat to see how it engages. Audi/VW has much better system where they positively snap to buttons in the floor. Can't slide or be mis-located.
There are matching velcro tabs on the mats. I ordered the Lloyd rubber mats but they also do not fit the passenger side well since I have the bose system. The subwoofer intrudes into the passenger compartment and the mat is rolled up against it. I was going to try removing the sub and then putting it over the mats but there really is no clearance. I like the look of these better though!
Indeed .. There are more and more 996 parts coming out and glad to see interior color specific ones as well. I have ordered a set of these rubber mats and will post some pics when they arrive early next week , from what I know they use the same rounds Velcro fasteners as the existing mats that come in different colors .
Yea, I was in Atlanta visiting and stopped in Porsche of Atlanta. Surprisingly, they were very positive about the 996 and explained that each dealership would have a least one "classic service tech" specially trained to work on the 996. I about spewed my coffee! I turned my head and said, "Wait, you're talking about giving us (the red-headed step child of the 911 family) special attention?" He's like "yes, sir!" This is not like "special ed classes or something?", I inserted. "No sir, Porsche is dedicated to supporting 996 owners", he replied.
What does this really mean folks???
Those are pretty cool with the 996's outline.
These would be better for those slushy days though...

Has anyone actually ordered and received these yet? I just spoke with Suncoast and was told that these are in Germany only right now, but that their allotment is due to ship to them next week.
In case you are interested in ordering a set in advance, search on the following part number: SKU9X6RUBBER. As I remember, about $85.00 and shipping UPS to me was another $15. So I added a few additional items and the shipping did not change.
You have one of those really cool green interiors! Love to see more pics! The mats look great wish they would make them to fit cabs with the bose system. The subwoofer is on the passenger footwell side and the mats dont fit...
I have the Lloyds mats and will try to see if they fit under. Its very tight so I doubt it bit if they do I will order these! Like them much better
you can see where it has to lay gainst the side of the subwoofer.
Mine shipped today so maybe there are some available sooner...
ECS has some more comprehensive photos on their site now:

These are so nice I'm considering pulling the subwoofer and see how it sounds. If good enuff I'll get a set. Otherwise, I'll try cutting my Lloyds to fit better.
Mine arrived today. Fit is good and velcro mounting is secure with the existing pads. The hooks off the back aren't functional for anything but hanging them, so that could be trimmed off if you're not ever going to be hanging them for storage.. Photo isn't great using a phone in my garage, but here you go. Blends in with the black interior nicely but gives just a tiny bit of interest with the logo and 996 shape. No reason to buy generics anymore IMO; these are nicer for effectively the same price.
The pictures are a little misleading; the edges do wrap up and make a "basin" that would hold some water; probably quite a bit actually. There aren't very good grooves to hold it in place though, so it would slosh around a lot, unlike Audi mats that have lots of ridges to baffle the water from sloshing.
The lip in the original Porsche ones is to retain inside any water from snow, dirt and all sorts. I am pleased there are not deep grooves in them originals as they are so easy to clean this way and there is plenty of grip anyways due to nature of material
I run weathertechs in my Silverado and love them for collecting debris and fluids, but these look really nice and easier to clean. The weathertechs are a pain to clean (mine are gray and they won't come clean from stains and wear, but it's a truck and I don't care. I am going to have to order the Porsche ones since I live in Seattle and it always rains here, right, lol.
Thanks for the great pics, everyone.
Mine arrived late yesterday afternoon. For $88 + shipping, I am thrilled. The passenger side fit is really good. The driver side fit is just ok, better than a sharp stick in the eye. As they soften up in wamer weather, I suspect they will conform better. But a set of WeatherTech mats that came with my 986 fit much better.
The mats also seem to scuff very easily. I had on boat shoes with a dark brown soles when I first drove the car. What you see in the pictures is after a quick wipe with a microfiber towel. But again comparing them to the WeatherTech, it seem that is just the nature of the beast with "rubber" mats.
Just so this is not taken as a negative review, I will try them in my Boxster later this weekend and if they fit reasonably well, I will order a set for it too.
How thick are these? Do they fold/roll easy? I'd prefer stiffer ones as they hold up better. Also does the clutch pedal get stuck when pushed all the way down? I am having that problem with my OEM carpet ones.
These are pretty much the same as the ones from Porsche for my Cayenne and former 997. I would say they are stiff with no roll up issues. Also, they stay clear of all pedals.
Just fine. They show dirt more than the black carpet mats did, since the dirt can't disappear down in the nap like it does in carpet. But easier to clean and overall tidier-looking in my opinion. Just survived these conditions at Watkins Glen!

I daily drive my car and already have the factory matts. I just don't like getting in with wet feet. I work (recycling) were there's a lot of fine broken glass that sticks to the shoes when wet or dry...
I have rubber in my truck (wife's daily driver) and love to be able to just pull them and shake them off vs vacuuming.
I would agree if they are loose and not properly secured to the floor. The whole point of OE mats in modern cars is that they fit perfectly and are securely attached to the floor, and thus don't move around or have any loose edges. This has eliminated the old premise of autocross tech inspections worldwide that the floor mats are going to bunch up under the pedals and cause fiery death.
That link is for 2012 + 911's! Be careful, not disappointed...
996 ones but only those with no bose if cab or targa!
