My buddy has a VW and they make a rubber compound style floor mat for those winter months. And since the snowboarding season is a few weeks away i was wondering if nissan makes them or anyone purchase something similar to this?

 

yes they do, nissanusa.com has a pic of them and you can buy them from your stealership. I think they go from $60-$75 depending on how much they want to steal from you.

 

I got a set last year and they're great... I think Jerry Rome or Lee Parts has them for relatively cheap (well, cheaper than the dealership anyway )

 

Why not buy some floor mat from Walmart for a really cheap price.

I know the quality sucks, but buying from dealer equals to giving out money for overpriced stuff, which I will never do.

 

I got mine from the dealership, but I got them for free cuz they were a gift. They're pretty expensive from the dealer, but worth it. I didn't even take them out in the summer. I just leave them in always so my originals won't get ruined.

 

All I got are the usual floor mat and they are included in the car anyway. I do think I should get some polymer mat just for the winter.

 

Jerry Rome and Lee Parts are both stealerships

 

The dealership didn't give them to me as a gift if that's what you thought. Someone bought them from the dealer and gave them to me. The dealer would never be that nice. No matter where you get the mats from, they'll be overpriced. I'd also suggest buying some cheap rubber ones from Walmart and put the original ones back in for the nice weather.

Here you go, but this is just a reference. Don't pay this much for the mats:

I have cheapy's in my car and they suck donkey d*ck. 74 bucks for some quality floor mats is alot better then having my bump *** friends dirty my mats with cron and dirt.

 

i got my set at ebay.. its the OEM rubber mats and they work great...

 

I bought some ExactMats (linked) on Ebay for like $50/60 bucks.

 

Can you be more specific when you say the cheap ones don't work?

As long as they cover the floor well, it should be OK, shouldn't it?

 

Apparently you have never been truly ripped off by a dealership if you think JR is a stealership.

 

Then go get a set of crappy $3 mats and see what happens. The OEM winter ones might be overpriced, but they sure as hell are better than anything you'll find at WalMart. They're exactly the right size, they're heavy and they have big-*** deep channels to hold the crap in.

I wouldn't go with anything but Exact Mats or OEM... this is one of those cases where you really get what you pay for. Anybody that tells you otherwise hasn't even seen the OEM winter mats, let alone used them during a snowstorm.

 

nissan yes. i got suv rubbers that fit perfect from walmart. less than $30 for all 4.

 

I saw those as well.

How do you like yours mat in winter? Do they do a good job preventing your floor getting dirty?

 

Who would of thought floor mats would be a heated debut. Anyways, I'm going with OEM rubber

 

I got my OEM rubber mats at the stealership. I had to pay 80 bucks. I really like them though. I leave them in my car year round. They catch the sand from the beach in the summer and the dirty slush in the winter. The fit is excellent. I strongly recommend the OEM's if you value quality. I wouldn't dress down my Max with the cheap ones.

 

All dealerships are stealerships, calm down and take a asprin. no reason to catch on fire but go ahead defend away.

 

i got mine for 65 bucks at the dealer. they are a perfect fit, and hold lots of water for the winter. i use them from now until march, and my carpet underneath still looks brand new

 

dealerships are indeed stealerships....unless of course, you work there.

 

I agree that many items are way overpriced at the dealership. You are paying for the Nissan name and a product that is designed specifically for the Maxima vehicle.

If you think about it, there are probably many other examples of overpriced goods in other areas of life. For examples, popcorn at a movie theater, soft drinks at fast-food restaurants, a lot of clothing, jewelry, video games and software (supposedly you are paying for intellectual property, not the aluminum and laquer CD or DVD), potato chips, etcetera but we keep buying millions and millions of dollars of these products. We are very consumer oriented in our country, and that is partly why dealerships can get the markup that they do. To be fair, they provide a valuable service and it costs a lot of money to run a business.

 

They sell decent heavy duty rubber matts at AutoZone for about $29 bucks, they come in clear, tan and black, since they are heavy, they don't move all over the place and they have high sides and deep traction wells so melting snow or ice on shoes don't spill out onto the cars carpet underneath them.
