Hey all, I want to order a set of black Lloyds mats with the sideways logo for my 06 coupe. I've got a pair of Lloyds mats now that are kind of silver-grey instead of dark black. My question is, should I order black or ebony mats? I've heard that Lloyds tend to run a bit lighter in color than OEM and also that ebony is darker than OEM. Just want to get the color that best matches my all-black interior. Also, does anyone know if you can order fasteners to keep the mats from slipping off the posts? I have to adjust mine every time I get in the car. Thanks for your help.

Your "all black interior" is actually ebony. The closest match will be the ebony Lloyds mats; the black mats are noticeably darker than your interior. As for the fasteners slipping off the posts, sorry but I have no answers. I've never experienced that problem with my Lloyds mats on my 2005.

Yup, check this thread by Wolfdogs, he put "black" mats in his car.

I put the black GS mats in my ebony and I like them. They told me when I ordered them that the Lloyd ebony mats have a greenish color to them.

Have a '05 vert with ebony interior. Got the ebony, sideways printed (read as you open the door) name and with the double post holders, they match the interior perfectly and have never come unsnapped.

My first Llyods set were ebony, and matched well. I recently got the Jake logo on Black and prefer the dark black over the ebony. All a matter of what you like.

...and although most are saying they like the looks of those black mats, I like my Lloyd's Ebony Way better, the color is so much closer to the factory look, as you see in the thread above they even call it contrasting, if you want contrasting color, you will want Black, if you want a color match that you only really notice when you are looking for it, you will want the Ebony.

I had the same concern, I emailed Lloyds and they sent me a sample of black and Ebony. Ebony was the perfect match for my 2008.

Above info is correct

If you want OEM order Ebony

If you want darker order Black

There was an issue a few years ago when a batch of ebony die had to much green in it and did not match up great.

Lloyd Mats addressed the issue long ago and the OEM Ebony match is very close now...

I ordered black with silver logo and silver trim for my Silver 2007. It is darker than Ebony. IMHO

Purchased two sets of mats for my Ebony interior:

Lloyds Ebony and Stratosphere Ebony

Between both, I like the Stratosphere better, for quality and color.

I guess the Lloyds were designed to match the carpet, which they seem to do.

The OEM mats are a darker color, more close to black

Does anyone here know if Lloyd's mats come with a warranty against fading / discoloration? My ebony ones have taken on the "greenish" cast mentioned above, especially the rear cargo mat. It's gotten so bad that I need to replace it. Am I SOL? BTW, the retailer from whom I think I bought them is no longer in business.
