I have these and I have had them for about 2 years. They fit PERFECT, but driver side mat seemed to wear down on my left heal quickly. I have a hole where my left heel met the mat. passenger mat is still like new.
I would still recommend if you dont expect it to last for more than a year.

heath they are **** quality. they wear out fast and they are thin and flimsy as hell. also they are not the same material as stock and dont have the logo or the stiched trim just some plastic garbage. piece of **** product im not even sure why they make or why people buy it. It basically is kmart mats in the same shape as the stock fd ones oh yeah and they slide around like a bitch.
haha I should be the salesman for mazdatrix for the mats right??

don't race, don't need to
The Mazdatrix mats ARE Lloyd mats. I just got a pair for X-mas. I pounded snaps into the footrest area, and snap a piece of foam rubber in there to rest the feet on. No wear through, pull the footrest off when I want it to look better, you can barely see the snaps. Worked great!
They fit very nicely, don't slide around, and are of decent quality. The stockers are better, but mine were smelling literally like ***! The foam on the backside was rotting...

I also have the mazdatrix/Lloyd mats...
they are nice with rubber backing but the heel wear is a concern. I wanted someone to custom a thicker heel cushion like the ones in the BMW M3 floor mats.
I think it can be done....the RX-7 logo is easy and has been done...check out this thread....

yeah i just spend WAY too much $ on some used mats from ebay.... they're not in great shape, but not horrible either. its just rediculous. from looking at those mats in the other thread, i noticed a few things. A) they are not nearly as plush as the stock mats B) it looks like the thread used to embroider rx7 on the mats is much thinner than the stock stuff and will most likely just rip over time C) the backing doesnt look like it will keep it in place D) the edges are not nearly as nice..... basically it just looks like a cheap/flimsy copy
they need to incorporate something like this (that they use on the miata mats into the ones for our 7) ->

rotor,
you may want to find some mats and get an embroidery shop to do it.
Honestly, I don't know how you can tell all of that from the pics.
My Lloyd/mazdatrix mats are nice with a rubber backing not the flimsy stuff found on the stock ones...the only thing is that it does feel "plush" but the fiber concentration doesn't seem as dense....
here is a pic of my mats in the car...tough to see

Don't you guys have bolts that hold the mat down??
The replacement mats could easily be bolted down the same way.

also tell me about your shift/brake boot... looks really nice! they are leather replacements correct? do you remember where you got them?
ok one last thing... these are the miata mats that i have in my daily driver... they are sooo much nicer than the FD ones its silly ->
they are only $50 bucks for hte set and they are genuine mazda. notice the extra heel reinforcement on teh drivers side! we need that in the 7!! i may look into possibly finding a way to try and add something like that to the mazdatrix mats

the leather boots are from a guy that was linked here on the forum. I just found him and sent him a email his name is Ralf Wilms

also I think gotham sells some leather boots.
The shiftknob is the lighted 5speed RX-8 **** from the group buy. Round 2 is going on as we speak.
That heel pad is EXACTLY what is in my BMW M3! If you find a way or fabric to sew that in let me know!!
