I won't lie, I dropped $120 for the new floor mats when I bought my Maxima. Made it feel like the car rolled out of the factory...

I'll be buying those pedals soon, so that I can have HLSD, too!

(It's fun teasing Hotshot.)

NissanMan97, good find. You're going to love that car.

Nice find. Wish my 02 was an HLSD.

Not sure where you live, but if it's wintry I'd go for a set of factory winter mats. Cost me about $50 from Nissan.

I am so happy with them I left them in all summer.

I pull them out and hose them off everytime I wash the car and they look great.

Good luck with her.

First thing I'd do is change the tranny fluid.

Most folks take care of the oil, but forget about teh tranny and you want to protect that HLSD.

I know mine has it, what do the other pedals look like? Are they just plain black rubber?
