Default Corvette entry mat

I was thinking of buying a Corvette logo cargo mat for my trunk, but at nearly $200 decided against it.
Instead, found a mat with logo that I can lay in the trunk and should look pretty nice.
Says it is microfiber surface and anti-skid rubber bottom, so you can use also as a front or rear of house door mat if desired.
Measures almost two feet wide by 16" high.
I thought I would take a chance at only $15 including shipping.

My initial thought is that it will be tacky.

We have a Lloyds trunk mat in our car but this idea should work with OP's mat also-

If you are going to carry some cargo that might be somewhat damp or dirty, flip the mat over so the rubber backing is on top. When you finish the job; take the mat out, clean the backing as necessary, let dry, and reinstall. Keeps the factory trunk carpet from getting wet/dirty/torn.

BTW, we prefer a lighter color (our Lloyds is medium gray) to avoid that "black hole" effect when trying to find items in the trunk, especially at night.

Does this actually cover the cargo area? I have the Lloyd cargo mat and it looks great as well as protects the trunk carpet. Worth every penny to me👍🏻

Only if your cargo area is 24" x 16"
I bought it to dress my trunk at shows. Not a cargo mat, per se.
Description says used as a door mat or bath mat.
Hope I don't get in trouble not using it for its intended purpose .

I'm thinking it would make a good garage wall art or door mat for that if nothing else.
