Recommend good rubberized floor mats

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Yes there are Oem winter floormats, they run about $91 (depending on your local dealer) and are available in all 3 interior colors. As close as rubber is going to match carpet anyways.

Plus the OEM ones are a perfect fit and are very good quality. All the customers that buy them at my dealer are very happy with them. $91 is right. They have set pricing that we can't adjust.

I have the OEM ones and really enjoy them. The only complaint I have is I had to take the awesome back floor mat out which had the nice logo over the transmission tunnel.

Sorry, not to contradict you, but ...

The OEM ones don't cover the dead-pedal at all (goes around it), so in the winter, you get water (+ salt + sand, etc) leaking underneath the rubber mat. (I know because I have these.)

The WeatherTech ones go over the dead-pedal, so it's much better. (I don't have these, but I saw it in another vehicle and it's superior.)

So, you can spend less buy the OEM ones and mostly protect your car, or ... your call.

$91 is about right for the OEM floor mats. The most important thing is that they have the grommets which attaches to the little peg on the floor of the car, which prevents the mats from slipping underneath the pedals (very dangerous situation)

It' s the hump on the floor in the far left of the footwell. Good place to rest your left foot as you drive

I actually put the OEM rubber ones on top of the rear carpeted ones. I liked the logo too much to remove it...

Lloyds mats -

$70 or so. Great mats. They do not cover the dead pedal - but they have dimples to catch sand, water, whatever.

I know that there is a separate Forum for Classifieds, but I would like to keep this within the EX group.

I have a set of Black Weather Tech Mats and Cargo protector that I am going to sell. I just traded my EX35 for an 09 FX50S. (Pics to come!)

I am supposed to pick up the car tomorrow, so I will be taking them out tonight. I purchased them in March of this year and they are in "New" condition with no scrapes or defects. I can send photo's if you like. I will take 50% of what I paid for them if you are interested. I also have a set of the Black Factory Infiniti All Weather Mats. The Drivers mat has some wear, (Nothing Major), but the other three are perfect. I would take a little less than 50% for these.

I also have a couple of other "Goodies" , that I will be parting with CHEAP !

Brand new never installed Stillen Long Tube CAI - Purchased it 2 months ago, was waiting until I had my 1 year service before I installed it, and that's when I saw the FX50S and started negotiating - Make Offer (Rio?)

K&N Filters - Like New - Used 6 months, cleaned , re-oiled and boxed - 50% of cost

And last but not least the RIMS and Summer Tires with TPMS I just put on the car 500 Miles ago. (See my Summer Wheels Thread) I will give a GREAT deal on them, but I really do not want to deal with shipping, so it will have to be a pick up here in MA.

I will post PICS of this stuff as soon as I get a chance in a separate thread, but I saw the post about the mats and figured I would offer them up.

I plan to stick around the forum because you are a knowledgeable bunch, and the FX forum does not seem to have the same "enthusiasm" that the EX forum does. (That's if nobody minds)

The funny thing is I was not even considering it until I saw it, and I NEVER expected them to go for the offer I threw at them. ($5,000.00 UNDER Invoice plus $5000.00 Cash Back!) $10,000 under MSRP. How could I pass that up !

OEM rubber mats are the best coverage for the price. I say go OEM or Weathertech depending on how much you want to spend.

I picked it up Saturday afternoon, and have not been out of it SINCE ! (Well I did come home to sleep, but then back out again). MSRP was $65,930 and I ended up paying $55,451 . Thats $10,479 off MSRP. Plus I got them up to $29,500 on my EX35 trade, so there was NO way I could pass it up.

As far as Mods go, the car really does not NEED any! I did put the interior LED bulbs in from my EX35, and with the lighted door sills, it looks great. I dont think I will be doing the exhaust for a little while anyway. I actually like the sound of the factory kit. The weather was cloudy yesterday, and raining today, so as soon as I get some sunshine, I will take some photo's and post them to a thread.
