Where can the best floor mats be sourced/ordered for ME C8?

20 years ago, Lloyds mats were all the rage. Is it still the same?
who will have the best? Thanks

I'll eventually get around to worrying about C8 floor mats, but right now my greatest urgency is with sourcing C8 car wax. I wouldn't wan't to get caught using my old C7 wax.

I have been using deluxe versions of Lloyds in every one of my car toys for 25+ years.
FAR better than stock and color and fit matches perfectly.

I never understood why people pay $100+ so their shoes can be comfortable. I cant remember the last time I even thought about my floor mats.

Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories is back in business. That's where I bought Lloyds mats 30 years ago. Wasn't impressed much with the quality, but perhaps they have variants? I saw they used to offer sheep skin mats, too. If one were to drive barefoot, those could be nice.

What are people going to add to their C8?

Don't forget, adding another logo to remind it's a Corvette. Mats are only $100? Figured spending $250-$300, easily.

because people are dumb and other people like to take dumb people's money. Plus when you get to a certain old age you start asking about weird things like that?

In the C5 era, Zaino was popular, but now there are many more choices. Which do you think will be the best for the C8 paint?

For tire shine, I usually buy whatever is on sale.

I heard the C8 won't require floor mats. But I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best air freshener. I heard the gas station pine trees are the best, will it fit in the C8?

Have you seen the "mister" system for the cabin air filter port? It sprays an aroma into the slot for the cabin filter, and invigorates the cabin air, freshening like the scent of springtime.

You could also lay a pine tree fresher on the cabin air filter and then slide back into place.
