Is anyone looking for OEM Maxima rubber floor mats?

I'll vouch for the quality of these mats. They are a perfect fit, solid, heavy and beautiful. Here's a picture of the rubber mat in the driver side, and black-cloth mat on the passenger, in a frost-cloth interior. The rubber mat wins, hands down. Love 'em.

That was inevitable, I suppose. See, who needs HLSD when you can just buy the pedals? 
Anyway, here's some background for anyone who's interested: last fall, the manufacturer of these mats fell casualty to that whole Toyota Floor Mat fiasco. These mats dropped out of production, and dealership stock dried up. Don't know if there's any new manufacturing going on today, but that was the situation last year.
If that's still the case, then you guys should snap these up while they're available. I suppose a quick call to your local dealership would establish whether or not Nissan found a new supplier.

$12. Costco and Sams have very nice all weather mats, but of course they are not contoured to the car. They work well in my SC300, but I didnt like them in the max so I took them back. Now at least I have some, even if they did cost 3 times as much!

I would assume the local guys can just pick them up at the dealer.
And you'll love these mats.

Since my back seat is almost never occupied, I use the black-cloth mats in the back, and the black-rubber mats up front. You would think they clash a little, but no, it actually works well. (My original frost-cloth mats are all pretty much destroyed, and up in the attic somewhere.)

Yeah, about that... the back seat rubber mats are not contoured to the car. So that you know, those are cut to very generic dimensions. And honestly, they don't look so good in the back seat area. You guys might think differently, but that's my opinion.

I'm near VA Beach, VA. So ~300 miles or so.
Great, so thats 3 times more for TWO mats! I like contrasts though, so I'll probably do the black in the front all the time. There will hardly ever be anyone in the back seat of mine either so c'est la vie.

I actually found an entire set of 4 from the stealership for About $40 4-5 yrs ago with the deep drain and mud channels....I think it can hold 2 quarts of liquid....Nice seat, durable, easy to clean and keeps the wear and tear off my carpet...

Thanks. Like I said, I love my mats and I know that they stopped making them so I thought it was a good idea to pass the info on to you guys that a few sets were found. Spoke with my friend, Rich, and he said that one set is already sold.
