Default Lloyds mats.....Ultimat or Luxe??

Yes, I did a search, and unless I missed something, I did not see an answer to this question, so.....

Lloyds mats.........which ones did you go with and why? Ultimat or Luxe?

I will be getting a Jet Black interior and I like the black mats with silver stingray fish and lettering......but the Luxe looks like it could be thicker, higher, and more plush than what I want for a sports car.....so looking for opinions here.

What did you guys go with and why?



Thanks.....

both are nice, if you want all the logos and such, only the ultimat has the Corvette stuff....at least last time I looked....I don't like the vette logos plastered all over my car ,so mine are black ultimats with red embroidered edges...

I went with Luxe. I drive barefooted a lot, and the feel is better than most home carpets. Worth the extra $$

Can you exchange them for the lux mats if the ultimats aren't up to your expectations?

Lloyds mats are custom made to order; I don't think they allow returns or exchanges.

I have the Ultimat. Would not want it thicker.





Ultimat is Thick Enough Pile for Me.

My though was that just about anything would beat the factory mat and look better as well!

Default mats

Probably depends on if your a daily driver or not. I went the Lux for the front mats and Ultimat for the back. Love the thickness of the fronts but not a daily driver either so I don't worry as much about wear and tear. Save a little money going this way also.

I had one set of Luxe mats that I used in my '09 and my '13 C6s. They were still in great shape when I sold the '13 last month. They had a total of about 35,000 miles on them.

The bottom part is thicker, that may help it look thicker than what it seems. The part the carpet is attached too.
