Default Floor mats

What are you all using as floor mats? I was hoping weather tech made mats for our car but they don't.

What kind of car?

I like Lloyd Mats and they pretty much make mats for everything.

Lloyd is an excellent choice if you want a custom fit carpeted mat, I've had a set in my '98 for probably 18 years now including a matching deck mat. Not sure if they make an all-weather/rubber version though (which is what I assume the OP wants since he mentioned WeatherTech).

Except Mustangs . I have Lloyds in both my Trans Am and R/T (good quality items) but when i tried to order for my GT, they told me Ford would not grant them a license. You should see the cheap OEM crap Ford calls floor mats.

I would prefer a carpeted floor mat, but when my wife and kids get in the car, you never know what is on there feet. Just trying to save the carpet and keep it looking like new.

They may not have licensed Ford logos available, but they do make mats configured to fit a Mustang.

I was duped into buying these Lloyd mats from PFYC.com (apparently Lloyd USED to be able to make them like this):



But when they arrived, of-course they looked nothing like above and tacky like this (why black tape on brown mat?!?):




So according to Lloyd themselves, this is the only way they are making them now, which is sad. I think it looks terrible compared to the way they used to make them. I have seen some where the tape is at least brown (below), but still not as good looking as the first pic above, what do you guys think? I'm sure there are many out there with this very same mat, did anybody get them when they actually looked great?:

The Lloyds looped mats are more durable than the Velourtex ones.

Yes, when I got mine (~18 years ago) they were embroidered very well, like the ones in your first picture. I bought them for my Trans Am (now sold) as well as my Z28 (still in service) and they were built just like the good ones. Sad to see that quality has tanked, at least in terms of the custom options. Hopefully the actual mats themselves are at least comparable quality.

I can't remember when I bought my Firebird logo mats but it has been many years ago. I like them and the durability has been excellent. Made in California.
For a more recent experience, my Challenger mats were purchased less than 2 years ago and were over $200 with the trim included. Extremely luxurious (Lloyds call them Luxe). They were still made in California.
I was hoping for this luxurious type for my newly purchased '14 GT but I if I wanted a pony logo, these 'inferior quality' Ford OEM wafer - thin mats were all I could get. $120 for Chinese crap that probably cost Ford $20, if that. I'll enjoy them while I have them but Lloyd's for the win every time.
Excuse the reflectiveness in some of the photos


Well over 5 years old and wearing well.

Excuse the glare.

NEW $200+ Lloyd's Luxe. Pardon the reflectiveness from the flash.

Paper thin Ford OEM Chinese mats.
