who has aftermarket floor mats? driver side is the most difficult to find. I have the factory passenger side but cannot seem to find anything that will work for the driver side. anyone have suggestions.

i've seen those too but it looks like it wont fit correctly. The 89-94's have a badly placed hump on the driver side floor, so the cut of the mats have to have a specific shape.

yeah...I think those are the nismo ripoffs... I also would like to know what can be used as mats, something that won't slide behind the pedal, that will hook to the hooks, and that will look nice...

I had those nismo ripoffs, but then I stripped the interior of my car. On rainy days I still use those floormats.

i thought about cutting some diamond plate to cover the whole floor. my carpet where the hump is, has a big *** hole in it. I would even cut my own piece of carpet to fit, but i cannot find the right texture. floor mats have a different look than regular home carpets. OH yeah why did you strip your interior?

Toms, I have a hole in the same spot, I can see the friggin factory red painted metal (like 5 inches square). I'm going to replace all of it though when I get the money.

I did get an estimate to get it repaired though. About $50 for the guy to cut a piece from under the seat and patch the hole.

Stupid previous owners and their high heels...

Edit: The high heels dug through the floormat too. The $70 factory 240sx ones too!

or defroster vents for that matter...

My car came with some industrial carpet cut to for the area. It works pretty decent but looks like crap... Sorry about the size, but I'm too lazy to resize it.

uhm, that little hump on the driverside is supposed to be there, and the stock mats just go right over them, kinda form on top of them. I dunno why you have to cut the mats.

Here is what I just bought on E-bay to replace my OEM mats(want to save them before they get too bad). I know some people will scream rice, but I also bought the matching pedal pads. A little premature considering my car isn't even on the road yet(not plated and don't wanna pay insurance yet) but I couldn't pass up the price. Oh and the pic is of the stuff in the guy's mercedes, not my car.

They were saying they needed mat's to go around that hump. They s13's factory mat's are cut to go around the hump, so it doesnt move around much.
