I have these as well, all 4 mats with the logo. Wanted then since day 1. Got them this year, have to say I am unimpressed with the overall quality for the price. The factory mats are much thicker, they just moved around a bit. Not worth the purchase in my opinion, still disappointed with my purchase.

I didnt feel that way at all lol in fact I hate thick floor mats in a car, carpet in this car is already extremely thick with the padding underneath that appears to be about a 1/4 to a 1/2" thick under the drivers side. I liked the self tapping mat locks that went into the carpet, great for cars like mine that didnt have the already installed mat clip in the fabric.

my carpets are so filthy they arent black anymore, i probably should steam clean them this weekend. :x

The mats look nice, would be great for a show car. They will never stand up to daily driving. My mats are 3 months old, have a heel dent in them already. These mats are much too thin, the logo is nice. Even the edges are not that great, mine are the same as yours. Ordered from an authorized dealer, took 8 days to manufacture. Think I paid 120 with a coupon. These replaced my factory mats that were showing wear on the drivers mat. I use weathertech type mats for winter. In my opinion these mats will not last. I would not recommend them to anyone with a daily driver.

Mind snapping a few pictures? I didnt see anything about them that seemed cheap, in fact they were leaps and bounds better then what you can get in the parts store or walmart. I only paid 80 dollars for them, which is roughly double what I would have paid in another store for generic mats of the same material.

I will grab some pics tonight. The price isn't crazy for a good mat, I just don't think they are a good mat. My sisters company sells weather tech mats, her cost for my car was 80.40 for the fronts and 53.21 for the rears. That's a lot of money, but those are great quality mats. BTW that's not what I have . I have cheapo winter mats(the generic equivalent) lol.

Well i have the oem rear mats, and I HAD the oem front mats which had a hole through them and the guy had stuck another walmart mat on top of it. I thought the OEM mats were junk so I threw the front two away even though the passenger side was good.

I still have my OEM mats, even with the hole in the drivers mat, the rest are all good. The factory mats are much better quality in my opinion.

Yes, its a dent and they are three months old. How do you think the will look next year. If you like yours great, but these are not good quality. My factory mats looked good for about 4 years. These were a bad buy for a daily driver.Too thin Berber style tight loops, I would have much rather had spent the same on a plush thicker mat as GM used.

I don't think ive ever had a single set of mats that didn't have some sort of rub through after a couple months of use, thats just a side effect of heel toeing, if you dont want the mats to wear a hole through then you gotta lift your foot back and forth, which i find myself doing more often anyways these days for some reason. We will see how they hold up, they have a 5 year warranty but not against normal wear and tear, but i suppose if they have a hole in them in a few months I could fight that. Granted they will probably just tell me I should have chose the higher grade material. Cant really blame the berber style when thats all I wanted to pay for.

Yes, that's what I wanted when I ordered too. I thought this style would wear tough. Not going to change the way I drive or position my feet to save a mat, just wont order again. And if a hole happens I will call them out on the warranty. Maybe I should just drive in my slippers

Ebay a long time ago , and they are discontinued. Made by the same manufacturer that designed the GM pedals. I have been searching for some sort of dead pedal that matches, the one from the Solstice is a match but not sold separately.



This from a370z is ok, it is probably what I will go with as it is cheap.





Here is the original post about the pedals.

Those appear to be a better choice for a daily driver, wish I had seen these first.
