+1 for Lloyd Mats, although I have the Luxe ones. They're pricey, but have a great premium feel.

I also have these Lloyd Ultimats, and they are very good quality indeed, the only difference between them and the Luxe versions is yarn length.

There definitely is a small indentation where I rest my left heel, but the fabric isn't torn or damaged, one can make it look almost new with a brush and a carpet cleaner. (Picture is from over a year ago, just to illustrate the look, the mat is more worn now.)

Anyone ever try putting a piece of foam padding (maybe a foot square and 1/4" to 1/2" thick) under the floor mat where your heal hits? Might be a cheap way to get mats to last longer. I know padding under room carpet helps it wear much better.

Manual transmission.

Save the Weather Tech and Husky for the truck and get these for the Camaro, they fit like a glove, catch everything and look like a million bucks doing it.

I have the premium mats in the car however I have these in my truck. They look good and hold up great so far.

Depends a lot on the quality of the mats. You can see if it's got a nice thick rubber backing and tight threading it will probably last. If it's made with thin or no backing and loose threading (like the standard mats from the factory on Camaros) it's gonna wear out in no time.

I also have the Lloyd Ultimats front and rear and in the trunk, they are really nice quality. The thing that has worked for me for years with my 91 2nd Gen Camaro, 2001 Mustang and now with my 18 Camaro with custom embroidered carpet mats, is to go to Walmart, Auto Zone or wherever and buy a set of thin clear floor mats and put them over your carpet mats, so that you can still enjoy the custom embroidery and not get your carpet mats dirty or worn. My '01 Mustang is now 19 years old and has 50,000 miles on it and the carpet mats look like they just came out of the box.

Yeah that's a good way to do it too. I may cut up some old visqueen I have for the time being until my Weather Techs come in. But I'm not driving it much right now anyway.

Brings back memories from when I was a kid of my Great-Aunt's apartment with the clear plastic slip covers over the floral upholstered sofa.
