Nah those mats and acces. are just Nissan milking there most expensive vehicle... they know no one will buy $1k floor mats on a maxima... so may be someone will buy them for the GT-R... and you know someone will. As for maint. and stuff there is warranty... and after that things will be more expensive obviously... they will probably have a higher labor rate and parts will be more expensive... but its not going to be near Euro car repairs...

That is the optional version.
1. We obviously wouldnt charge you MSRP
2. The standard carpeted floor mats are $258.83 MSRP, $170.83 your cost The difference is the carbon fiber.

oh ok as long as they both have the metal emblem im cool
i know the preproduction one i got a demo of had the carbon mats. i should just have asked to have them since they were used and the car was going to be crushed anyway
but on the other hand i saw a pic of a carbon mat from japan and it looked like it had been stomped with a high heel because it was already wearing in the middle and the weave was breaking up.
hmm, no not me, mine will be stock for now

Hopefully, 2009 GT-R will be sold for like 15K in 2038.
