They come with a factory floor mat - it's simple but effective. Some will say you need to get something "plush" aftermarket - I actually prefer the low nap/tight weave of the standard mats. Easy to clean and functional. If I want plush I go inside my house.

In addition to the mats that came with the car I got a set of these.

They come in two length piles, I got the shorter of the two with a Stingray logo.
Added Stingray Logo Lloyd's Mats, Stingray Sill Plates and a Stingray to my Key Fob. The Silicone Key Fob Cover Holds the Removable Key on to the FOB. My Fob Came Lose in My Pocket When I Removed the Key Ring. A Forum Poster Reported Finding Their Key Ring with Removable Key Attached and Loosing Their FOB! If It's on a Key Ring with Other Items, Not Hard to Have That Occur. The Removable Key Comes Out Much Easier Than My C6 FOB- Too Easy!

Much thicker, softer pile, better looking, and cover more area than stock mats. No real comparison, IMO. My car came with both OEM sets of mats, and I still ordered a set of Lloyd's on the very first day that they (finally) became available, which was a few months after I bought my car.

They are much thicker! I would highly recommend the Lloyds Mats over the stock ones. I bought the ones that have the Stingray Script and Logo on them and they look great. Lloyds offers two different mats, one with a thicker pile and one without. I bought the thicker ones and they are great!

I was asking if the optional GM mats are better than the stock mats. For example:

I like the logo and the red stitching around the binding matches the red stitching of my interior.

The optional embroidered GM mats are made of the same square weave carpet as your car, as are the standard mats. Both are a perfect match to your factory carpet in texture and color vs. the cut pile of the Lloyd's aftermarket ones.

The OEM mats with the Stingray log and script are not any thicker than the stock ones but I got them instead of the Lloyd mats because they had the red stitching which matched the rest of my two-tone interior (black/adrenaline red).
If you want "thicker" than Lloyd mats may be the better choice.
