specifically the floor mats. are they higher quality, more plush than previous generations, or will most be upgrading to something aftermarket. I like to drive barefoot, and the old mats were terrible. if you are going for something aftermarket like Lloyds, will you preorder and take them to your delivery

I contacted Lloyd’s a few weeks back. Once they get the pattern they will make it available to their entire line up. They are the BEST! Had them in my C7Z and have them in my ZL1

You can customize the bindings and stitching. So awesome!

LOL, is this really a topic of discussion? Floor mats?

Better get those plush aftermarket floor mats, LOL.

so, I guess you never walked barefoot on the carpeting in your home. Fortunately, when I get a new Corvette, I keep the original floor mats in plastic for the next owner. They never see my bare feet. I get aftermarket to soak up my feet sweats, lol.

Of course I have. But that's different than driving barefoot. You do you. It's your car, I was just messing with you.

Lloyds are awesome. Also @flange I have a Dutch friend who swears by driving barefoot and he has a rally car collection. Better grip I guess
