Do these all weather mats look oem?

Says the seller has more than 10 available. Wondering if it's legit, they don't look new to me.

You could go with Weathertech mats. They have raised edges to keep dirt and water in, and they hose out.

Instead of someone cleaning my mats this would be a better investment.

DON'T BUY THEM! They are not for a 5th gen maxima.

I went to nissanpartszone.com where you can input a part number and your VIN number and it will come back and tell you if the part fits. In the case of these floor mats, the answer is "This part does not fit your vehicle." I used my 2000 Max VIN.

When I looked at the photo on E-bay, I thought "pickup truck". The front mats look wayyy too long for a passenger car.

It says in the link its for 01-03, guessing maybe has something to do with the hooks for the mats.

Those floor mats don't even look new, they look nasty.

**BTW** I can get them cheaper than that, and are guaranteed from a Dealer.

Yes they are OEM...

...yes, they are for '01 to '03 Maxima's.

Yes, DennisMik is wrong.

That is the powdery residue that is used to protect the rubber when packaged. Normal.

How much are you able to get them for? Dealers usually want $59.99 or more...

I would personally avoid those rubber mats. THe rubber can bend and get out of shape especially on the raised edges and they are difficult to clean. It involves taking them out, spraying them and scrubbing them. I would stick to a heavyweight(48ox is the most) and a thick pile(1/2in is the thickest) cotton mat with a rubber bottom and stain resistant top. The best in my opinion are Lloyds Luxe mats. They are direct fit and you can put a custom logo on it. They are expensive(over $100) but they fit perfect, last forever and look OEM but better. Those do look legit to me but with Ebay you just never know. For $40 though id take a chance. If they do suck at least you can keep the front ones and just replace the front ones with nice ones and save 50% you know?

FYI, I've had these exact floor mats in my '01 Max for about 5 years now and love them. Yes, they are OEM and fit perfectly. While I'm cleaning the inside of my car I can just place them on the ground and hose them off.

My only "gripe" is the color doesn't match my interior.

That's how they came new... all powdery gray. IDK why, it just is. However, a little armor-all and silicon spray, and they will clean up to a deep, glossy black.

Nissan no longer sells these mats... haven't in like 2 years now. This is a great deal. Jump on it.

The front's fit like a glove. The rears... no fitment at all, just a generic mat. Not like the rear cloth mats. I use the fronts all year long, because I love the look.

If they say "Maxima" up the side I'd say they are OEM. I bought mine from Nissan and they look similar.

I have the weathertech mats, and honestly I rather get OEMS. I feel I wasted my money spending 100+ and they don't fit as "perfect" as they say they do.

Lloyds Luxe lol. Expensive but you will be more than happy. they are even cut so as to cover little angled part where you can brace your left leg. Awesome and you can print "Maxima" or "Nismo" or whatever you heart desires for no xtra charge if i'm not mistaking

Whichever ones they have for the 5thgen. Don't get me wrong they are great mats but they don't fit as "perfect" and to the edge as they are supposed to or do on other cars.

Hmmm, IIRC (I'm not in my car right now) the ones I have say "MAXIMA" on them.

I personally like not dealing with OEM carpet mats as over time the driver's side gets that nasty wear out from the heel under the gas pedal.

Rochester is right. The manufacture stopped producing them so stock is dwindling.

Those look legit.

I got a set of the oem all weather mats. Awesome investment. Fitment is on point. The fronts have "MAXIMA" right on them and the driver side mat has an alignment hole.

That ebay seller has a high score 100% feedback also so he seems legit

I love my OEM rubber mats. I rock them year round to save my precious and mint AE mats.

And like others have been saying, the OEM fronts fit perfect and the rears are so-so. I couldn't imagine a better fitment for the fronts though. I can also vouch that they come as pictured in the Ebay pics. They look all powdery and dirty once you get them, but they clean up very nice! Unlike cheap aftermarket mats, the OEM ones are extremely thick and heavy and have fairly deep channels to retain dirt and crud. I'd say go for it!
