Cargo Mat question ???????????
Hi
There are several different rubber cargo mats out there and l was wondering which one you have and are you happy with your selection?
2002 coupe blk interior.
Weathertech which looks like the best one and l have used their rubber cargo trays before in other vehicles. Cheaper in Mid America by $30 ??
I would have to cut my own holes for Targa stops on the carpeting.
GM has one (rubber)for approx $80-$90 not as solid by the looks of it but it has the cut outs for the targa stops in the floor.
Are there any others that l am not aware of, not looking to save money but l want to be happy.
By the way if l remeber the targa stops do twist off, but l don't remember when you turn them counter clockwise then what? Do they just come off or do you have to pull them upward?
Thanks
Alan

I have this one in my convertible. It's great, because it allows access to center compartment without removing the entire mat....

Do not want carpeting !
I already have carpeting and l would like some form or rubber so that l can vacuum it easier.
Also when my dog goes into the water l don't have to worry about getting anything wet.
Thanks

I bought a Lloyds set from West Coast Corvettes for my 2004 Z06 and they fit perfectly. 
They Lloyds mats are well made and I had the Z06 405 HP embroidered on them. The front mats are designed to cover more area than the factory units..

I have the Weathertech liner and love it. The cutouts for the targa top holders are easy. The liner keeps the dirt and debris where it belongs - off of the carpet. It is great if you use your vette and actually put stuff in/out of the back - like me. Downside - no access to the storage areas w/o lifting the liner up/removing - put how often do you access these?

Weathertech has no equal !!!!!!!!!!
But l hate to spend money on something and then have to make cut outs.
While GM's version is not as well made but it already has the cut outs.

Weathertech happens to be the best by far !!
Being that the store is out of them l would check with Mid America. I have owned Weathertech mats before in other vehicles and they cannot be beat for sure.
What l am going to buy is the GM cargo mat because it already has the holes for the plastic stops that the targa top rests on. And as long as l'm not using it for carting big objects l really don't need the best.

Oh.
Oh. Sorry dude. I had been looking for one of these myself and saw this one in the forum store. I have the Lloyds floormats and they are very good quality. If you want I'll give you a review when I get mine.
