Lloyd's Rubbertite Floor mats

Here's some pics of my aftermarket floor mats. These cost me less than $70 shipped, IIRC. I got them from Stylin' Trucks. I first saw them years ago in a Honda Dealership and always liked the look. I think they would really stand out if the car had gray carpet. Anyway, lots of little dimples to hold the mud, water and random spills. Obviously, they don't have the large lip that WeatherTech and others have - a trade off of less protection for a better look, IMO.Driver's side - I checked and seems to be no way to interfere with the deadly Toyota pedal! Passenger sideRear - The seem to be cut much closer than the factory carpeted mats -so I am hoping they stay in place. The factory ones constantly slid out of place.

Did these mats come like this, or did you have to trim them up? Very nice looking in there, too.

They do look pretty official.

Found the mats online. Cut for all Vibe series. They also have a cargo area mat, too, and you can select Woofer or no Woofer. Nice. 4 colors available. Not super cheap. Also at Autoanything.com. I may get a set of these, but will still do my own rear cargo mat from the Home Depot "online only" recycled rubber mats. That way I can make one for the back of the rear seat.

I didn't have to trim them at all. Excellent fit. I was wrong though - cost shipped was $80.

Not sure from pictures... did you buy black or gray?

That's the black. I think it would look really great in my Civic w/the gray interior.

Yes they would. What Civic do you have?

I have a '97 Civic Sedan, which my daughter's driving while at school. I think we'll be selling it in 2-3 years so not sure I need to upgrade the mats. Wish I had bought the Lloyd's mats from the dealer when I first saw them. Back then I think they were $40 for a full set.

Caught me in a fuzzy state, bad cold going. I just looked below your post... and there is the info on your '97 Civic Sedan. I have a "project" 97 del Sol Si in the garage. Nice engine and great underpinnings. My son had a 96 Coupe EX (same engine) for a few years. I liked that car a lot.

http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=37142Here's a link to a pic of the Civic - but I changed the wheels because my daughter hated them (I never really warmed up to them myself either). She's home right now maybe I'll try to get another pic of it with the current wheels, which I love.

Nice Civic. Those wheels were Ok, the blue spoke color was too light.If you get a shot of your Civic and current wheels, post! Here's a picture of my "project" del Sol. It has a ways to go, and the picture hides all the blemishes on the sheetmetal. It needs some body work and paint. I bought it with 68,800 on the clock. Fun little car to drive.

Those are nice wheels!Here's my Civic, taken just this morning (daughter home for spring break). A bit dirty. The wheels are Primax - I don't know if American Racing Estrellas are knock offs of them or vice versa. They look better with the covers off.

Thanks. The wheels are almost 10 years old, now, but holding up Ok. Your Primax wheels are way nicer looking than the former blues alloys... plus 5 spoke silver wheels look much better on a white Civic.

Agreed on the wheel color. I originally was going to go for red mesh wheels, and maybe if I had I would have kept them. Silver polished looks good.Regarding the mats - I love them. Maybe most of all that the rear mats don't slide around when my kids sit back there.

The rear mats look like they can't move very much anyway. They seem to take up all the floor space back there. Are they hard to clean?

Haven't done it yet. Should be easy. Just a scrub with a brush and a blast from the hose.Yep, the front hooks fit right into the factory holes.
