I'm saving mine by taking it out and leaving it with my other stock parts. I've got set of floor mats in there instead that cover perfectly, and are embossed to boot. A buddy has a set of floor mats OVER his rubber mat, but I wonder if that will cause long term wear issues. Unless you're hotshoeing with size 7's, you're probably just fine without the raised mat. Your opinions may vary with mine.

Lloyd's makes a beautiful mat!!! I just put the carpet over the rubber, but did buy a spare rubber mat.

Besides the rubber floor mat wear, I was also concerned about shoes scratching the paint on the sides of the foot wells. So, I make everyone take off their shoes and wear surgical shoes.
Just joking. I bought a set of cheap floor mats from Wally World and also a couple of Terry cloth bath towels that matched the interior colors. I fold the towels so they cover the paint on the sides and then lay the floor mats on top of the towels. Only about 1-2 inches of towel is exposed on each side. The mat keeps the towel in place and keeps the towel from bunching up under your feet. People don't even notice the towels under the mats unless I point them out to them. When the mats start getting a worn look, I'll toss them and buy a new set. The mat I bought is silver and black and has a sort of metallic, carbon fiber look which goes very well with the interior colors. I've gotten a lot of positive comments on these cheap Wal-Mart floor mats.

I too have the Lloyd's Matts. They look great and fit right on top of the stock rubber matts without any obstruction of the "go" pedal, clutch, or brake.:thumbsup

Took delivery of my FGT with 200 miles on it. Had custom mats at hand, in the waiting. Never put my feet on the rubber ones. They were immediately put away for posterity.

What style of Lloyd's Matts did you use? I see on the web site they have several types that you can order. Also, there are several dealers on the site. Any recommendations?

My problem hasn't been with the mats. It's the stiletto heel marks on the dash and holes in the liner that are giving me fits.

Perhaps DBK could add in the FAQ best practices for removing broken toe nails and foot prints from the headliner
