Hola... New 03 M45 owner

[Dominican Drift]

How is everyone? A lil about myself... Im 26yrs old from Tampa in the Air Force workin for US Special Operations Command (Army). I love my Job and wish I could do it all my life but like all good things they must end. Yep, I used drift. I did a few events It was a blast but I need a reliable car so I bought the M. I used to have a 98' 240sx, 300whp SR20det, everthing you could possibly do to suspension, and other performance mods that ended up totaling $15,000 in mods. I absolutly love my 03 M45. I must say I hate the gas milage suck (19.7 mpg avg) but i guess I must sacrifice for style. Its great I still have people ask me what kind of car it is even standin in front of it. Only problem Ive been having is Tire pressure sensor keeps saying one tire is flat the few seconds later its up 42 PSI. Infiniti Tampa Dealer fixed but its back.

Question:Does anybody know where can I find all weather Floor mats ? I seen some at Infiniti Dealership for the New M45 but the dont have them for 03-04 M45. They said to go to any random auto parts dealer. Let me know what you all weather floor mats you guys are using and were to find good ones.

Thank you

Drift,Congrats on your ride. In Car & Driver I saw an ad for floor mats that have the softness of the O.E.M's but with almost total stain rejection. They are made by one of the big textile companies. Milliken I think. I went to the website and they make them for our 03/04's. Sorry I cannot remember the name of them. Read the back ads in one of the U.S car mags. They really seem to offer the best of both worlds, factory look, you can hose them off, and they look almost identical to the stock ones down to the color. (Willow or Graphite) They were less than $100.00. I live in Sarasota. Hope you enjoy your time Tampa. BTW your dealer CAN order floormats for your car. I used Infiniti of Tampa ONCE. They had my car to fix the tire pressure monitoring system and fix the gap in the drivers side window. They had my car for three days and within 30 miles, my sensor came back on too. Also they did not fix the wind noise! I would HIGHLY recommend Coast Infiniti in Sarasota, who fixed both problems without reoccurance, or Infiniti of Clearwater.Cheers,Mark

Thanks man... Im gonna look around for the floormat and let me know if you come across them. Yea... I wasn't to happy with Infiniti tampas service, It took them 3hr to do oil change, reset tire PSI gage, and Complimentry carwash which they never did. Im gonna go back for my Car wash and if im not impressed ill go to other Infiniti Dealer.

I will look up those mats for you. Depending on what part of Tampa you are living, Infiniti of Clearwater might be fairly close. I believe it is on HWY 19. I know Infiniti of Tampa being on Dale Mabry is probably closer, but, the dealer is not in the same league as most Infiniti dealers. The coffee is a joke and the waiting room is pretty janky. Most Infiniti dealers are much more modern and luxuriously appointed. If you are planning any sort of mods or anything that runs afoul of the warranty, use Infinti of Tampa. They are a good bit more slack about allowing warranty claims that others might not. For good service, go elsewhere. You truly are blessed to have three dealers within an hour or so. Coast Infiniti is truly outstanding. The problem is it can take a week to get an appointment. Their service department is top notch. It's also an hour away.Enjoy your ride and the last weeks before rainy season comesMark

Welcome to NICO!

I absolutly love my 03 M45. I must say I hate the gas milage suck (19.7 mpg avg) but i guess I must sacrifice for style.

Unfortunately, compared to your previous car, a V-8 is going to be definitely worse from a gas mileage perspective - although that 19.7 is very good for the M45!

Regardles, the combination of luxury and performance will keep a smile on your face.

Oh yea... Can you take pics so i can see how they fit. I got some but they kinda cheap and the dont fit all that well.

They are at my mothers place (I only use during the winter). But i can tell u that they fit perfect since they are not some custom cut, they are the OEM ones.

Unfortuantely there doesnt seem to be currently on ebay (i'm guessing since it is summer) but gives these guys a call they give better deals than the dealership.
