Default Weathertech Floor Mats?

Need to order floor mats asap! I live in a location that i am usually on the dirt getting in and out of a vehicle. I have always used weathertech mats on my vehicles, and was wondering if anyone could give me a review if they were using them in their C5. Thanks!

Just my opinion, but get the WeatherTech floor liners for the C5. I have them in my Impala and Buick Verano and they have an excellent fit plus provide full coverage from wet shoes/dirt/mud. Plus they are easy to clean.

I plan to get them for my C5 but was hoping they would make them in gray - all they offer right now is Black and Tan.

I have them in my C5. I drive my vette out to my plant a lot. Keeps the floor pretty clean and they are easy to remove and wash off. Definitely would recommend them

Around my area they are unfondly called Weather Gaps. Frankly for the high price they should have a much better fit.The gaps around the edges are unacceptable. Stay clear of them.

I know, who asked me....had no opinion before I saw the pic's but now,

They work great! They are perfect for driving and not worry about tracking anything on to the floor. Like others have said, if you show it, you will want other mats for that.

I like them a lot in our Dodge Ram. Hadn't seen them in a Corvette before, but if you need them there is nothing better.

I picked up a pair of heavy duty WeatherTech type mats at Walmart, they can be trimmed to near perfect fit (close enough anyway) and for less than a $30 bill the floor is bulletproofed. They are thick deep patterned and heavy, but the rubber is flexible and not too stiff. They are not uncomfortable at all, a bit squishy if anything.

Dump a milkshake or cuppa coffee on these babies.. no prob

No I admit they ain't pretty. But I live and drive in the real world, my car lives in a carport. Windy Vegas can really bring some dirt dust and debris into the cabin.

For a special drive or date they remove easily in 0.05 seconds and my real mats and rugs are always kept spotless.

They do make a grey mat for the back of a coupe. I also got the blocks that keep things from rolling around. I do carry a lot of stuff and it keeps everything orderly.

I use a inexpensive (cheap) set over my mats. Remove them when I need to. Mats still look new and stay clean
