Default Should I Get The Floor Mats ?

I will be placing my order for a 350Z Enthusiast in 3 days, and need a little information from you good people. I am on the fence about ordering a set of the optional floor mats with the Z logo on them, or buying a very good set of black, custom-made aftermarket mats. The aftermarket mats are extremely plush and stain resistant.

So, I would like to know if those of you who got the Nissan mats think they are happy with them and think that they are worth the $69, or should I go aftermarket and spend about $100?

Get the factory mats, They fit perfect, look perfect, and are good quality.

I agree with Zrated.
I like how the OEM floor mats fit perfectly. (Of course! It's designed to.) I'm happy with my floor mats so far.

actually, any accessories you are getting with it, get from them! Everything is much less there.

I got them but they are cheap quality IMHO, rather thin. I'm sure there will be some better aftermarket ones with the Z logo eventually. I was ecpecting the same quality as what was available for the Z32.

Default get them

I would definitely go with the oem mats.

There is a tab that hooks into the oem floor mat keep it from sliding around on you.

The qualitly is well worth the cost, I would also go with the rear carpet mat it's thick made with a vulcanized rubber backing.

Thanks to all of you for your input - - I'll go with the OEM mats ans the trunk mat with the "Z" logo.

By the way can anyone give an unbiased opinion on those fancy "metalic" aluminum floor mats that I see advertised on this forum an on some other web sites? Are they really durable and do they look as good as their photos? I'm not quire sure if I like them or not, but they certainly give the car a modified look.
