Floor mats

Looking to get peoples opinion on a good looking set of floor mats for the third gens. I just replaced my carpet so want to put some floor mats down to protect the carpet, but I want something that is going to look good.

I saw some on stockinteriors.com that have a logo in them, but they are all rubber, even though all rubber would be easier to keep clean I think carpeted floor mats look better.

Anyone have some good floor mats, maybe some pictures of them they care to share?

The carpet I installed is Dove Gray in color.

Re: Floor mats

I found some Lloyd mats in my searching, but I'm worried about the color.

With my carpet being Dove Gray, it's a little darker than my original interior carpet was. Look at this post

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...r-mats.html#19

Thats the "Grey" color compared with carpet that looks comparable to mine. I don't want to spend 150 dollars on the mats (4 piece set with embroidered Z28 on the fronts) for a color that is off that much from mine.

Re: Floor mats

I've got some blue/black rubber floor mats that look GREAT with my car. The don't fit exactly as they should, but ya know. The colour is amazing though. It'll blow your mind. Maybe change your mind about the whole "no rubber" thing.
If I had some pics, i'd show you. Maybe i'll take some later...

Re: Floor mats

Go to Eckler's Camaro and search for floor mats. Here's mine with the contoured passenger side.



And for those that think the color doesn't match, it's a perfect match and is just as close as the factory mats shown below.

Re: Floor mats

Thanks for the replies, I think there are pretty much only two choices for good floor mats for our third gens.

The ACC mats that eckler's and others sale, or the Lloyd mats.

I went ahead and ordered me a set of Lloyd mats in black. I figure I have plenty of other black trim in the car so I think the black floor mats will look ok. The main reason I went with Lloyd over the ACC mats that I could've gotten an exact color match in is because I wanted the Z28 emblem on the front mats. ACC doesn't have the option for the emblem.

Who knows I might pick up a set of the ACC mats later on to see if I like them better or if I get the black Lloyd mats in and don't like the way they look in the car.
