I have the floormats with the word maxima embroid on them and some of the lettering is coming off. So I was wondering if there is any way to fix that or do I have to buy new floormats?

 

just buy new ones.

 

Mine worn off a while ago, before I had the car. So much like old clothes, I'll get new Maxima floormats.

 

I would like to have a custom set made...

 

well, then get to it.

 

Unfortunately,other priorities come first..

oh darn, it used to be working. Could always make them for a 4th gen and remember your preferences and apply for a third gen. "LatinMax" had his made from there, he said quality was excellent.

edit: oh snap, it's working now...

 

Mind describing it to us?







No? Awww

 

transmission/new tires/long overdue vacation to key west..

 

Key West? when you coming down? let me know.

 

sometime in late jan./early feb.

 

Congrats on the vacation, but I mean the Custom MyGreenMax94 Special Edition Floormats.

Sounds cool "duttin it"

 

Nothing special,just "Maxima" embroidered in the middle of the mat,or something like that.

 

Gonna put "VE-5" on mine. (Planning ahead )




because I'm dorky...

 

sweet, let me know before you head down.

back on topic now, i need to get new mats since my floormats are wearing out. now im thinking to get black floormats and black carpet cuz the beige gets dirty real fast.

 

I have black floor mats in my otherwise all tan/brown car. It's really subtle and I haven't gotten anyone complaining about the "color clashing" thing.

 

Make sure the floormats have some grip too. My floormats was so old and worn that sometimes I find it move up towards the pedal, which can be a hazard. So I toss my Driver side floormat into the passenger side. I have black/dark flooring so I don't completely need to buy one right now. Like MyGreenMax94, I have other priorities like maintenance.

A dealership wanted 80 bones for a 5.5 gen floormats. It that normal? Thousand Oaks is a rich hood but $80?

 

I have black/tan colors also..but the same issue as the op,the maxima stitching has worn off..



plus,i don't like where they put the stitching anyway,you can't see it if the seat is pushed forward..

 

Yes, but the embroidery will probably rub off quicker if they are placed where a lot of shoe friction could occur...Wayne, have you thought about using that black upholstry spray paint that can be found at auto parts stores? I forget the name exactly, but I used some and it worked like a charm.

Here is black mats without the black seats.

 

Well,if you think about it,the embroidery is going to wear off no matter where you put it,look at my pic,the maxima stitching is all the way to the back of the matt,yet it still wore off..Simply put,floor matts wear out..


Not interested in changing my carpet color as of yet,if i do decide to change it,i will buy new carpet..

 

Oops, sorry for not clarifying. I meant using the spray to touch up your already black floor mats.

I keep forgetting I have advanced search now, I found the thread I was thinking of:

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....int+floor+mats

 

Heh,thanks for the link,but i think they might just need a dip in the bathtub..

 

Yours doesn'r have the little hooks to hold them in place? I still have the original mats and they are in excellent condition for 17 years old.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about those

I had them on but for some reason it won't hold the mats down. Maybe I'm too rough on them. But I'll need new ones anyway.

 

I gots teh rubber mats...they collect the sand and gravel...but never teh snow!

 

I've got those hooks too, but mine don't hold the mats in place either, guess they're just worn out.

 

The diamond plate mats I seen on eBay looked pretty cool. But I thought $100 shipped was a bit too much so I went to Menards to see if I could just buy some tread metal that I could cut to the shape of my old mats. Turnes out they had em at $50 per 24"x24'' sheet, so there goes that idea. So I guess eBay price isn't that bad.

 

hard to get more ricer than the diamond plated floor mats. maybe you can go so fast that they come off like in The Fast and the Furious

 

A ricer is someone who makes his car look like it's faster than it actually is to make an impression on other people. Tread plate mats obvously have nothing to do with performance and most people won't even see them. The Fast and the Furious ruined a lot of things. Pretty much everything they got in that movie is now "rice". Other than that, I don't see any other problem with tread plate mats. They don't rust, they don't warp, and nothing could be easier to clean. I mean, there are things that are rice straight up like tin can exhaust that makes your car sound turbo, and there are some thigs which are not that bad of ideas if they weren't labeled as rice by a few people. That's just my opinion.

 

just an FYI...the stock OEM mats are no longer available.

 

well what is the purpose for floor mats? to generally to collect sand/dirt/water/soda/beer/vomit/etc etc off the carpeting.

how well do you suppose diamond plate floor mat will perform?

 

Not trying to fight here but neither do regular mats lol. I agree with danny, the diamond plates will just let everything go onto the carpet.

 

Alright, I didn't think of that. Now you actually made a good case, instead of saying that they are no good just because they're considered rice. But then what's the point of protecting your carpet if you're always gonna cover it in the first place?

 

well...true the carpet is covered..but if you had mud/dirt/dog poo on the carpet..do you know how much cleaning you need to do to get that out (besides the stink)?

if your mats got ugly...toss them out...buy a new set. i'm pretty sure it's easier to do that than to replace the entire carpet..ya know what i mean?

 

Alright, I gotcha. But, and this may sound like a strange question, why don't any cars come with no carpeting at all? It's not like people take off their shoes every time they get into a car.

 

well it's like a luxury item...i'm sure you like to walk into a store/house/sidewalk and walk on carpet instead of a steel floor right?

the other thing is sound dampening. there'a a good deal of sound insulation under the carpet and wiring. so having some carpet to cover it would be a nice touch.

rubbers mats are pretty useful...esp in the snow/mud climates.

 

So the moral of the story is that tread plate mats aren't a good idea from a functional point of view. I can live with that. And I could've sworn I've seen someone here on the org with a 3rd gen that had those. His interior looked really good. Wonder who that was.

 

chris91se wayyyyyyy back in the day had them...but those were only put in the car for shows.
