Nismo Floor Mats???

Post by **mrbean** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

So I give you Exhibit A and Exhibit B. I have 3 questions:

- Are these really by Nismo, or cheap knockoffs?

- Why does Exhibit B want to charge me almost twice as much for what appears to be the same product?

- Anyone own a set? Do you like/dislike 'em? Discuss. :pface

Notice how it says JDM Style. Style is not the same.

id get them if the front mats were reversed... i just want some #$@$^%@ floor mats

Post by **mrbean** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

They both say JDM "style"...

It looks like you can maybe transplant the aluminum foot pad from the left mat to the right...

Is it me, or does the cheap set look a little rough around the edges? Or maybe the seller did a poor job outlining in photoshop...

id ask the seller if they have any that were made for lhd

I would go to autozon and get a good set of heavy rubber mats. CAuse I gave up on finding factory mats. I am gonna get a metal gromet and attach them to the hooks. A little ricey yes, but a good floor mat. Mine are grey and black. The word Racing is in white. They fi pretty well and with a little trimming fit increadibly well.

both of those sets are for LHD.

Definite emphasis on "jdm style". I was lookin at those, since my floormats are shot (former owner w/ high heels). Yeah a lotta good the aluminium reinforcement does on the passenger side of the car, plust they look to small compared to the origonal mats. Ive already tried so called universal floor mats, they dont fit my floor and slide around when i switch from gas to brake. I dont know what S13 floor mats look like but my oem's were such a convoluted shape, but at least they held in place. Ya wanna know what worked: bought 2'x3' rubber, with black and grey stripped cloth doormat at ACE hardware for $12. Layed the old mat over it, traced, and cut it out with heavy duty scissors. Cut out a small hole for the alignment strap. Cheap, sorta stylish, and dont get underfoot.

I got those NISMO mats, but the LHD ones and got them form the NISSAN dealership through their NISMO catalouge.

So vengeance, are these ebay ones the real deal? And how much did you pay (if u don't mind my asking) for the dealership ones?

Post by **Bunta240** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

Doesnt it look like the cheaper ones are RHD? And im also wonderin how much it costs when you buy it straight from Nismo.

Post by **mrbean** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

they're the same mats (both rhd). The seller of the expensive ones just switched the right and left mats around, to look LHD. The shapes are exactly the same.

Post by **Bunta240** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

Damn that tricky bastard. I should go check out that Nismo catalogue then. Is it at most Nissan dealerships?

Post by **GEO** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

yo, $72 bucks for the complete set. But I paid $42 becasue they were having a holiday sale.

Post by **catty** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

yea i got them for the same price vengeance did, and they are the lhd ones

Post by **240SXedUp** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

Who cares if the floor mats are Nismo knock-offs. THEY ARE FLOORMATS.

Post by **GEO** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

they still get ****TED up anyway

Post by **whiterps13** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

anything followed by style is fake...

Yea I was looking for those mats for my pops Maxima, but once I saw that magic word style I let em go.

NISMO CATALOUGE!

Post by **jdmfreak** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

Do you have to buy the catalouge from the dealer or is tit set up where you just look at it at the dealer?

Post by **chandler** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

I assume you're talking about the "Nismo" mats on Ebay and not the real deal? I can't believe the real Nismo ones wouldn't be embroidered.

To the guy who bought the *real* Nismo mats. Did they have the little hole for the hook thing that keeps the mats in place?

$40-ish sounds like a great deal. Was that a pair of front mats only?

Post by **GEO** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

yes at the top is a gold hole and yes on my mats they are sewed on the NISMo emblems.

Post by **mrbean** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

Vengeance,

How did you find the mats? Did you buy the catalog or just saw them at the dealership? I can't find genuine Nismo mats anywhere for the s13...

Post by **GEO** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

go to the nissan dealership and ask for the nismo catalouge. it should be a silver shiny book with a skyline on the front with NISMO painted down teh side

Post by **mrbean** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

ahh i see... Thanks!

Post by **jdmfreak** » Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:59 pm

Can you keep the catalouge?
