I'm sure they're terrific but unless your car is a trailer queen, there's nothing better thing you can do got your car's interior than to buy a complete set of DigitalFit mats from WeatherTech regardless of any OTHERS you may buy, even if you buy another set that's PURELY for show and only ever place them atop.

There's a hundred choices for mats based upon appearance but really only one based upon how well they protect and preserve the interior.

Those are kinda ugly. What if I bought them and put my mats on top of them? Would that work? http://www.weatherte...ost-hole-qty/1/

Ugly?  They're all but invisible.  You can put whatever you want on top of them, but not with the ability to hook onto the retention posts that prevent pedal interference.

i think it kinda dangerous to put mats on top of mats. too much chance of a mat getting caught under/over the pedal and causing an accident. if you can't use the mats saftey hook hole the i wouldn't do it. why wreck a 70,000 dollar car over something like a 200 set of extra floor mats. just my .02. saftey is always #1 in my book

Well then I guess I will stick with the mats. I don't like those weathertech things. While I am sure they work wonderfully they just look weirdddd.

I think that for a DD like yours, the Weather Tech would provide the best protection to your cars interior. Keep your original floor mats for show purposes. You will appreciate the Weather Tech's the first time you jump in your car with snow slush or mud on your shoes.

Well I wasn't going to drive it if there is snow on the road anyways though lol.

But maybe its worth it to get the weather tech and use those during the winter months then switch to regular mats during spring and summer?

[Snoopy49]

That's what I would do. It will save your carpets.

I have used the Weather Tech in other vehicles and if you are looking for all weather protection or just the ultimate protection you can not beat them for the fit and what the covarage they provide.  I had the cheeper Lloyd mats in my GT and like them, I am going for the Luxe Lloyd mats for the Shelby.

You will like the Luxe mats - I also have had the WeatherTech all weather "bins" in my Escape - great for containing the dirt, mud and snow.

It's really about more than slush or mud.  The kind of overall, bulletproof protection they provide keeps the interior brand new looking despite even normal everyday getting in and out of the car and so forth.

Thanks guys for all the info!  I went with Lloyds mats b/c the Shelby will never see snow, mud, rain, etc.  It will be kept in the garage and only taken on nice days when there is no inclement weather in sight!  Picking it up tomorrow afternoon!!!  Very exciting!

Has anyone ordered the Lloyd floor mats for the 2013 GT500 coupe WITH the factory subwoofer? I thought I remembered hearing that the sub in the 2013 is different than the 2012, and if that is true, the cutout may be different. thanks!

I did - I have the 2013 vert with the sub - for some reason they sent me two trunk mats - it is black with the red piping and the red GT500 logo.  I will sell for 1/2 retail + shipping if anyone wants it - PM me for pics.

Just to let anyone else reading this thread know... the Lloyds mats are very nice... but only for a while.

If you drive your car more than a few times on the weekend they wear out very quickly.

After my second set I'm going to probably go back with stock or some other choice because the Lloyds are friggin expensive and to be going through a set of mats in six months is kind of annoying.

Can't say it enough.  Weathertech Digital Fit for actual use and the "show" mat of your choice for occasional display.

[san6279]

Yep, just got a set of the WT Digital Fit myself and they provide outstanding fit and protection.

Your right and agree that just does not seem right, you try contacting them and asking them if they have a problem or if this kind of wear is normal?

I didn't contact them, but I know others have the same issue.

They look great, don't get me wrong, but they don't have much in the way of durability when it comes to the fabric. I think it may be because it's too soft? I don't know though.
