There is a difference between their floor mats and floor liners. I bought a set for my C7Z but only used the driver's side liner. I have a M7 and the liner helps prevent wear on the carpet and/or carpeted floor mat due to the 3rd pedal action.

I am disappointed with the Weather Techs for my C8. At least on the passenger side they do not fit flush into the well and there is a 1/4" or more gap at the sides and under the seat.
I ordered them because of the promised protection and the fact that the WT mats fit perfectly, flush to the sides, on my Honda. Not so for the C8.

I had Weathertechs in my Mustang and they work really well. Unfortunately, they looked so bad, especially in that car that already had a pretty plasticky looking interior... you open that big door and all you see is plastic everywhere with the mats in place. I found the 3D MAXpider mats on Amazon, also laser cut to fit the floor like a WT, with the wrapped sides and the waterproof features, but much nicer looking.

Other than C1/C2's the Corvette has the cheapest looking interior of any sports car I can think of. I fail to see what the addition of WeatherTech liners could do to detract from these interiors lol. Honestly, if I owned a C1 or C2 it would have the same liners in it as well just because they work better than any chinzy floor mat.

They will absolutely be going in my car once arrived. I plan on driving to work sometimes and I work in dealership service dept and bottom of my shoes don't stay so nice. So I put them in just about everything I own/drive often.

I drive my cars... put lots of miles on them. Rain? Okay... snow? Sure, up to a point. Wind, sand, long distances... absolutely... to the store to get a loaf of bread? Lowe's? Home Depot? Walmart? Park in a motel parking lot? Yup.
Were someone to look in my car and see the Weather Techs and make a comment - good, bad, or indifferent - I didn't buy the car, or the mats for him or her. I treat the Ferrari the same way.
Pulled up beside a Bugatti in San Antonio (Alamo Heights), guy says, "Nice old Ferrari." I replied, "Nice new Bugatti." We laughed and agreed that at the end of they day they're just cars.

Sure! The Kagu mats look pretty good, I am going to try them out. But what I really want is the Elegant mats. Thats what I got for the Mustang and it really improved the look. They are made like outdoor carpet, but still with a waterproof shell and liner. I have been emailing the company, trying to see if we can get them to start producing the Elegants.
And not a knock against Weathertech, they make a great product and I love that they are American made. I will probably get those too, for messy weather and road trips.
