Default Post pics of trunk/floor mats.

NOT Llyods or factory carpet mats please, everyone has those, but I'm Trying to see what else is out there before I make my purchase.

I know weather tech makes a rubber rear mat as well as llyods, but haven't found any good pics of it. Was thinking maybe rubber for the rear so things don't slide around so much.

^^^Why would you put a rubber mat in a corvette? They belong in a truck

There really aren't that many decent options for floor mats.... these are a gm premium accessory that I'm selling. I went with the lloyd Jake skull mat instead. eBay has some unbranded options but they don't look as good or seem to have the quality of the gm or Lloyd options.

Rubber mats in a corvette don't really look as if they belong to be honest. The only decent rubber mat I've seen was by Lloyd a while back for the C6 I don't know if they make it for the C7. The one thing about the gm mats is that they seem to hold up better to weather as they are more of a commercial carpet than a premium luxe carpet.

Weather Tech + Amazon cargo netting

This what I have. Rubber mat covers about 1/2 of the cargo area and the extra netting to keeps things from rolling around.

I have the Weathertech mats and love them. They are no where near the prettiest or coolest mats out there but they protect like nothing else. They fit awesome right out of the box and are top quality. Sorry for the crappy pics, i went out to the parking lot at work to take them really quick.

^^Running the WeatherTechs also and really like them. Not the cheapest floor mats, but very easy to maintain.

I turn my OEM Stingray mat upside down when I travel to train shows so my trains don't slide around as badly.
A WeatherTech mat would probably work better.

Are the weather tech trunk mats the same material as the floor mats?

I run them in my daily driver and also like them. Was thinking I might not need that much protection in the vette tho since I'm not going to be driving it in snow and mud, maybe some rain would be it.

Pretty much feels the same, but a little more playable. I run weather tech floor mats in winter and after spring rains I change over to stingray mats. My car is a daily driver and I put lots of different stuff in the trunk area, so I appreciate the added protection.

I have Weather Tech in 3 of my other vehicles but not in my Vette. Just doesn't look as nice as fabric does, not as rich looking. I went with the Lloyd mats on the floor and cargo area. Vette is not my DD, only for pleasure and nice days so no need for weather protection.

That's the GM accessory mat in the back. I have the same one.

Probably so. I purchased as a package from someone on eBay. Thought it might be their version. I actually think that material for the cargo area is better suited than the plush floor mat material would be.
