Need Help deciding with Lloyd mats
I want to get a set of Lloyd mats for the car and a cargo liner but I can't decide between light Gray (which is the colour of my interior) or go with black. Since my car is a daily driver I was think of getting black which will hide the dirt and wear better than the light gray, plus the black will act as an accent colour.

The Lloyds were my first mod and I do not like them. I got the TR ones and they show everything!!! They are nice and plush...but show too much......good luck!

I have a black interior and it shows every piece of dirt and dust. I think I would go with the light gray mats. At least they should not show all the dust. You may want to consider gettng a set of inserts for the footwells - you can get them from Mid-America or Ecklers and they really protect the carpet/floormats and keeps the dirt off them.

These would look nice, but as far as looks go, I still think the lt. gray mats with your interior color would be my first choice. Good luck with the decision.

I think the black might be too much contrast with the rest of the interior.Mine is a DD, too, so I get a set of cheap (REAL cheap) small rear mats from Wally World and place them over my logo mats. They keep the dirt, wear and tear down on good mats.

My interior is light gray & I have the grey Lloyd's mats in the front. There isn't enough contrast. It looks

I have a yellow car with black guts, I so wanted the yellow mats but thinking what they would look like after a month forced me into black with yellow binding with yellow logo. There still not here but I cant wait.

I'd go with the gray mats. Either one you go with is going to get dirty. Either the gray mats will show dirt, or the grey logo will show dirt. Did you know that Mid-America also sells some really nice clear plastic mats that go OVER your good mats (about $20). That way you can protect the good mats for every day use but still be able to see them.
