Are the "PREMIUM CARPETED CARPET FLOOR MATS" worth it?

Are these durable and do they look significantly better in person that the standard mats (the pictures look very cool)? Are there any issues with these that I should be aware of, like getting stuck under the pedal or making sure I have the correct model?

No issues. I sold mine... Didn't like the look. They're very thick, heavy and, look odd IMO. I put my IPL mats back inside.

there are no issues as such. they don't get stuck under the pedals (assuming you don't stack the mats) and coupe=vert=sedan front mats. actually, the rears are the same as well, although the premium mats typically come as a 4-piece set - 2 pieces in the rear.

as for the look, that is subjective i suppose. lots of folks like the look, some do not. they are thicker and a bit heavier so they should last longer. they do look plusher but it's not a night-and-day difference from a new set of standard mats. if you are replacing a beat up set of standard mats and could find a good deal on the premium mats then go for it!

Based on the feedback here and elsewhere, I think it's an unnecessary expense, even at Ebay prices. My standard mats are in pretty good shape and I need to save for a new set of tires, I will need within 5,000 miles.

I don't have them but I have seen pictures of them, instead of the premium carpet mats I opted to buy all weather mats and I really dig them. Cleaning them is a breeze, I recommend those over carpet

I like them & there are no issues - had them "thrown in" as part of my initial transaction along with a set of the all weather mats too! If I had to pay for them I would likely pass...
