Default Ebony floor mats???

I sort of already made my mind up on this but I am considering getting lloyds ebony floormats for my 06 with cashmere int. I guess i am just looking for the popular vote to convince myself that ebony is better than dirt and stains on my less than 3K mile int. I love the int color but I hate dirty floormats. Someone convince me I am not crazy or give me some better options besides be more careful.

I have ebony interior and I use Rubbermaid floor mats over my stock. I have a Lloyds cargo mat but I never understood having carpeted floor mats. IMO it makes no sense since dirt will get embedded and they are not easy to clean. Rubbermaids are durable and much easier to clean and cheaper.

Since half of your interior is ebony anyway, there's absolutely no reason to not get some ebony Lloyd's mats. They'll look great.

I did exactly the same thing - -had the factory cashmere set that took about a month to look dirty despite regular vacuuming - - replaced them with the ebony Lloyd's mats. Am enjoying it more and cleaning it less.

Good luck !

Nice contrast.

I'd go for the ebony.

Still I would use a rubber mat over them during inclement weather.

Thanks for the pics. My new '08 has a Cashmere interior, but I still have the ebony mats from my 05. I might try them. I know the mounting "hooks" are different, but I'll see how they work.

My VY has the ebony interior. I bought the ebony Lloyds mats. They look great, but living in dusty Arizona (and living on a dirt road), they quickly show the AZ dirt. I bought the clear mats to put over them when I'm just enjoying the car, and not showing it off.

I also purchased the Lloyd ebony floormats for my cashmere interior. I think they look great!!! I only had the factory cashmere mats installed for about two weeks before the Llyod mats came in and they were already looking dirty. Have had the Llyod mats about a month and they still look brand new.
