Default Rear mat and cargo shade

I ordered my Lloyds mats before I picked up me new Z06. Once I got the car,I was disappointed to find that the rear mat has no provision to access the cargo shade hooks in the floor, it simply covers them up leaving the shade to flap in the breeze.

In GA the cargo shade is important for heat management and also for security.

So my questions are:

Am I the only one who cares?
Is there a logo mat made with the correct cut outs?

It seems nutty that they missed this.

My Lloyds mats have the cutout in them for the hooks in the floor. Turn your mat over and roll it where the hook would go through. It's hard to see the cut when the mat is new or has never been used.

I agree. I thought the same thing until you look closely at them. The slits should be there.

I had the same thing with my Lloyds rear cargo mat. I figured out where the slots should be, cut simple little slots with a utility knife, and it's just perfect. Nothing frayed or coming apart 2 years later.

I got the mat for my 2014 Stingray, and I'm now using the same mat with my 2016 Z06. Perfect fit in both.

The Slit should be there if you ordered the mats recently...

The very first ones back in 2014 did not have them. Lloyds almost
instantly corrected the situation as soon as it was realized.

Yeah, mine was an early one so no slits. It worked out just fine for me though. Good to know they fixed it.

So the OEM rear mat does not come with the car?
I only have the floor mats

I don't believe you get a rear mat unless you order one.
