Default Pics of Lloyd Mats in jet black C7 interior?

My "jet black" lloyd mats are jet black but not c7 jet black makes me want to pull my hair out. The floormats need to match the interior color exactly or it just looks like someone went to wally world and slapped some mats in.

"Wally World" and "slapped them in" certainly applies to the OEM mats supplied by the factory. They're in the garbage can, replaced by Black Lloyd's, a much more elegant solution. I don't think you're going to find any mats that match your need for exactitude. Your choice is to send them back.

You are correct, the original mats look terrible too. But the color matches!

The GM OEM z06 mats match, they dont have as large of logos or the softer pile of the Lloyd's but they do match the colors.

Maybe it will grow on me. Perhaps im just peeved that Jet Black is not Jet Black coming from an OE approved merchandiser such as Lloyds. They know damn well what color C7's come in.

Lloyd's is always a problem. Not the quality they were years ago?
!! mine were cut wrong and also way off color-Brownstone. They wouldn't do anything or the selling vendor- Corvette Mod's.

BUY SOME OTHER MAT COMPANYS PRODUCT!!

Get the upgraded embroidered factory ones. They are made of the same carpet as the car, the color is a perfect match, and the embroidered logos are a nice touch. I have red interior and got the ones with the red edge stitching that matches the steering wheel and shift **** stitching too. Everyone loves those thick house carpet Lloyd's, but as you noticed, the color is way off.

With all due respect sir, I also have Lloyd's black mats in my 2016 Z51, 3LT, Twilight Blue Design Pkg with black carpets. I have no issues with the Llyod's black mats.

As a reality check with what really matters in life, a friend recently passed away of a fast moving cancer....11 days from diagnosis to death.

Now... are they exactly the right shade of black? No.
Did I notice this right away? Yes
Did I matter... nope, after 5 mins I was all better...
... AND they are SO PLUSH
... AND They really really made a significant improvement in lowering road noise!

Actually ebony is the correct color to order. The interior isn't really jet black which is why they don't match. I was confused when ordering mine but read somewhere to order ebony which I did. It's a perfect match.

Ebony... that is sweet. I mean I forgot all the variations of Black we have had to choose from for the c7 over the last 4 years... AGAIN IT IS MINOR FOR ME SO NO BIG DEAL. I just find it funny that a company would create a shade /color that does not exist.

As mentioned ebony is going to be the closest match to OEM. Most order them darker for the contrast.
