Stratmosphere, Inc. is the premier developer, manufacturer, distributor, importer and retailer of exceptional products for Audi, Porsche, VW, Mini, BMW and other automobiles. Stratmosphere is the North America importer for Milltek Sport exhausts and V-Maxx coilover suspensions."

Their web site states that they are a manufacturer. What am I missing?

On your link, I agree with you on the Stratmoshere pile...they will not mat down after time like the Lloyds. Plus, their logos are embroidered; no appliques for them.

I've had Lloyds and they are very nice.

I just received the Stratosphere for my my Z and the Strats are much nicer than Lloyds

Might want to find some samples to compare.

You probably won't go wrong with either choice.

And they have a designer mat logo right underneath the pictogram of the mat design.

More feedback to help a newbie make a good decision? The Strats page says that their mats "double tufted" in the heel area.

To me mats are throwaways after a few years... but a lifetime warranty (if the manufacturer stays in business more than a few years) ain't a bad deal.
