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...

BTW... is it you taking your car to MA-Motorsports? They contacted me today regarding someone getting exhaust work on their R35.

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

werd I am actually very optimistic about the GTR and the ZR1's ability to achieve similar gains...

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