Embroided Floor Mats

[mtdew456]

I am trying to decide if I should buy the embroidered floor mats from USSpeed for my car. I have the Light Titanium interior with the ebony (black?) floor mats. I was wondering which color floor mat is an exact match to the current floor mats? Also if anyone has any photos they'd like to post of their embroidered floor mats in their car (preferably the ebony/black, but of course any photos would be great), that would be awesome!

I have the same interior. Light Titanium with Ebony Accents. The carpet is "Ebony". I bought the Ebony floor mats from USSpeed with the Cadillac emblem for front, rear, and trunk.

The carpet is a perfect match and they fit perfectly in the car. I am very very pleased with them!

I have the Cashmere and they fit and look great.

BTW,
I tried to order a second set and I couldn't get to the custom order page. ???????

For LFG: I ordered the cashmere mats recently. The new US Speed web site automatically gives you color 654 when you choose the 08 CTS and go through the order process. I rec'd both the mats AND MY CAR today.... very excited about the car and the mats look great also.

Thanks for the responses, glad to hear they fit great. I feel like they will be a great addition to my car. jcr_CTS, do you think you could take a few pictures for me so I can see what they would look like in my car?

the driver mat doesnt hold firmly. it always move forward. The question is, when you purchase this mat, does it return the favor. --consider the price/quality ratio. not really -- so i would only recommend one to buy it for the look.

If you take a screwdriver and push down on the tab (on the mat) that goes over the lock pin (on the car) it will lock the mat into place and it won't move at all. It's just a little tight at first, but when you push it down (with the screwdriver) it will lock in the grove on the pin.

I've had my #654 Cashmere 4-pc embroidered USSPEED/Lloyd mats ($149.95 delivered) for several weeks now, and I could not be more pleased. I applied a heavy double-coat of protection (a full 14oz spray can of Scotch Gard), so now the plush mats actually bead water. Considering the cost of the CTS and OEM options, the Lloyd custom mat sets are a screaming bargain!

If properly installed as described above by LFG (give it another try, lordbaby), the driver's mat will remain firmly in place and will NOT move.

BTW - Walmart sells inexpensive heavy-duty clear-plastic 14 x 17-inch rectangular mats. I keep a set in the trunk, and lay them over the Lloyd carpet mats as needed in bad weather. Total cost 4 pcs, $12.00 + tax.

i bought the berber floor mats for my 2008 cts they wear like iron.....i had them on my 2004 cts very nice mats......i put them right over my factory cadillac mats........the color dark brown they match the dash really well.......bye mistake they sent me the back mats to......i got lucky they were free lol

lordbaby, when you say "consider the price/quality ratio" are you saying that the mats a cheap and won't hold up in the long run in comparison to the factory mats?

The wife and I think they are better (fit & material) than the Caddy mats & they look great. I also applied a heavy double-coat of protection/Scotch Gard and they come clean with just a wet cloth.

Sounds good LFG, I will be ordering them soon thanks to recommendations and photos. I will also apply the double-coat of Scotch Guard since it will make them much easier to clean. Everyone, thanks for the advice! The last thing I need to decide is whether I get the back mats embroidered as well..........

i like the cts logo, so i get it, but the driver mat doesnt hold. Let me see if i can stop the the driver mat from moving as other recommend. price/quality is not up to the hype because the driver mat doesnt hold and the logo's color is not as vivid as the one i saw on their website. overall, i recommended one could give it a try for the upgraded look from the ones that came with the car

went on USSPEED website today. I didn't see #654 Cashmere. I saw #634 Cashmere.
Today is Sunday and the company is closed. I will call them on Monday to verify.

Hi nq2u,

If you haven't already seen it, here's a recent thread where I compared the 2 different shades of cashmere vs. the CTS factory mats: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ml#post1349738

I placed my order with USSPEED by telephone to insure that I would receive the correct color #654 cashmere. My order, drop-shipped from the Lloyd factory in California, arrived 8 days later.
