Default Ordered Lloyd Heavyweights

I ordered the heavyweights yesterday (shale for my 04 CE)--fronts and cargo. Got them mainly for better protection and looks--any sound deadening will just be a plus. I'll provide feedback after they are installed. It will be a week or so before I get them.

Got them at West Coast Corvettes. They don't stock the heavy weights, so they have to be ordered. They don't list them on their website (at least I don't think so). Just call them and ask. One of the guys on our forum reported significant sound reduction--that is a pretty subjective topic, unless it's measured. I am going to attempt a before and after decobel reading at specific speeds and same roadway.

The Lloyds are some very nice mats.

Would love to hear any comments on how well they deaden sound.

I have shale Lloyds for the front and cargo area. They are regular and not the heavyweights. I wonder how much different the two versions are ? Anybody have the heavyweights ?

What is the price difference ?

1/2" pile vs. 5/16" and the heavy weights have an extra layer called sound deadening material. Do a google search and you will find cross section views of the two.

If I remember, I think the Heavyweight mats are only about $10 more than the regular Lloyd's mat.

What color emblem did you have them embroider? The CE's have a special Silver C5 logo, but I'm not sure how that would look. The black emblem may or may not look mismatched? A Blue emblem if available might look good if its the right shade of blue..??? Just curious!

Can you post pics when you receive and "install" them?

I went with the silver emblem--yes, I will take pics when I get them.

Lloyds are the "best" - had mine for over 1 yr...no wear or tear...

And yes, they do deaden the sound

As thick as they are and the areas they cover, they should help deaden the sound. As stated above, I am going to measure the difference (before and after) on same surfaces, speeds, etc.--as scientific as I can do it. I am certain the placibo effect makes them feel/sound quieter, I want facts--one of my contributions to this super forum.

Well, since most of the noise comes from the back, I don't see how they could reduce noise a whole lot.

How heavy are they? I just sent a set of cocomats back because they weighed 12 pounds. That doesn't sound like much, but it is a lot of weight to have in mats! I think the stock mats weigh less than a pound. Of course the cocomats covered the entire floor, and were really well made -- looked great in black and red. I hated to send them back, but when I picked them both up I realized that 12 pound mats were really heavy!!

all you had to do to equalize the weight was to run 2 less gallons of gas
