Believe it or not, Hondas don't come w/ mats, either. I just bought my wife a new Honda, and no mats included.

I think it's starting to become the norm. Sadly.

I was swayed to buy my 997S launch car on launch day after I realized I got the mats for free - they forgot to add the $115 charge on the launch car stickers.

Default ONLY $39 PER SIDE AND THEY'LL OUTLAST OEM PORSCHE MATS

Give these a shot, they match natural brown very nicely and send a nice message to both you and your passenger upon entry to the vehicle...a nice touch don't you think?

I see the Lloyd mats for $140 also. Where are they cheaper? (Just curious, I already have the $140 Porsche mats. Was thinking of another pair for the winter, but not for another $140!)

Suncoast Porsche has the base Lloyds mats at $ 101. With the Carrera S script ($27.) and the contrasting piping ($20.) it came to $148. + shipping. They are much plusher than the factory mats and look stunning in grey with red piping and script. Now if can only get around to installing my Alacantera steering wheel, shifter, and E-brake....

You can custom embroider the Lloyds mats also. Mine say "Carrera S" as Lloyds doesn't have a license to do "Club Coupe."

I agree with this, get Lloyd mats or cocomats, both are far better than factory mats.

We get free mats in our Porshes in the UK but a moderately specced 997 s costs $160,000! $104 sounds cheap in comparison.

Uhm, the Honda dealership I went to buy an Accord from about 8 years ago did just that to me.

Default Keeping the OEM mat looking like new...

I keep one of those clear plastic protective mats only over the drivers side, I don't use a front but one of the small ones for the rear, as it fits perfectly right over the wear area. The protective clear mat keeps the factory ones looking like new and they catch water, mud and dirt while preventing wear and can be removed in 2 seconds.
