I have a 2002 se with gray cloth interior. I found a complete set of black mats on e-bay for cheap. It looks great in the car. Kind of adds needed contrast to the gray and silver motif. I'd give the darker color a try. In fact I keep my older "gray" mats in the garage and I'll use them during the winter snow and slush!

I think I bought the same black set. They fit nicely and have the Nissan logo on the front and passenger side mats.

The only problem is that they don't hook onto the floor like the factory ones do, but I haven't had any sliding problems yet.

The dealership where I bought my Maxima from gave me a pair because the original mats were horrible.

They matched okay, but I like the black ones more. They cover more space and are softer.


I bought them from this guy:

I got mine off Ebay brand new for $40.00 shipped. Factory Nissan mats, too. Not sure of the "ES" logo. Heard that it's for Canadian models. Perfect match and quality.

I actually just bought them off of eBay because I was waiting on the ones the dealership got for me. I had to go on a road trip and didn't want to do it without mats, so I just quickly bought this pair for $40.

I thought the dealers were going to give me Nissan-brand mats, but they were some dumpy car wash sh*t.

So I've kept the eBay ones.

I like them. See if this link works. This is what I bought:

I don't think those are the same as the link you showed me. I can't imagine them being marked up to $100. They were relatively pedestrian looking.


If I had to do it over again, I'd probably order a real pair of authentic carpet ones from Nissan, but these are solid and about $30-40 bucks less.

these guys make nice custom mats: choose your colors, choose your monogram/logo, even options for heel pads

Unfortunately, they don't have a hole.

But they do cover a huge area. Basically, all the flat parts of the floor, which is great.

The rear mats cover a lot of area as well.


They have a nice give to them that isn't too soft, but is comfortable.

I have no idea what kind of durability they have since I've probably only driven the car like 600 miles since I bought it a couple months ago, but they seem reasonably well made.


I should try and get some pics up since this seems to be an ongoing question. I guess it's about time for 5th Gen floor mats to start needing replacement.
