Now this may sound pedantic, or against the flavour of the car - but its bothering me so here goes.

The Porsche over mats i had in my 993 were top quality. They came with the car, and still looked great after my 5 yrs of ownership.

The ones in the GT3 seem flimsy by comparison. They're the black ones which stick to the floor by two velcro type dots (porsche logo) They are getting marked up even with the tiny mileage on the car.

IS this a trait of the standard items? - and do the OPCs do better ones? & any with the GT3 logo or Porsche logo?

Cheers

Ajit.

Im assuming that they're the same as the ones in the C2?. Mine are wearing badly particularly on the drivers side and i've only just exceeded 12K.Like yourself for the cost i expected better! I'll work on getting a free set thrown in next time ..... what do you think the likely hood is of that?

Me too..

The overmats I had with my Boxster (Porsche logo, velcro tabs) have worn badly in just over 12 months, the carpet pile has eroded away where my heal rests for the accelerator

I was after some fitted rubber mats, but just got laughed at as being some kind of fetishist!!!

Exactly the symptoms my mats have. I'm going to look for a better quality set - like were in my 993...

Demon Tweeks sell metal heel plates that you can fasten onto your mats. I had a similar problem in my Octavia vRS. The way the plates fasten on, I've had to tape a piece of card to the underside of the mat (stops it damaging the carpet underneath).

Looks a bit Max Power, but it's saved me going through a set of mats every 6 months.
