Default Floor Mat Question

So I need new floor mats. Looking around I found this site:

http://www.nissanpartszone.com/acces...loor-mats.html

The nismo mats are 1/3 the price of the Z mats. My question is are they the same mats with different embroidering? I'd rather not put nismo mats in my enthusiast but at 1/3 the price I'd consider it

You oughta click to chat with one of their reps. They'll be able to answer that for you. I'd assume they are cheaper quality since the MSRP is also very low.

You get what you pay for...
The OEM NISMO mats,as with all other NISMO stuff is first class.
These are not the same mats...I've seen them,I have the NISMO in my touring.
They are worth the cost.
Only downside,the NISMO logo is easily seen,but easily stepped on when you get in the car...get dirty.Easy to clean though.

I have the heel pad on my Nismo mats. For a 2003. OP, they are good thick mats and everytime I run a vacuum over them they look good as new. The logo does get dirty though but it's not hard to clean.

If I recall I went NISMO mats to save $$$. Quality is the same as OEM mats. Compare part number: http://www.mossyperformance.com/scri...?idproduct=623

Default heel guards

you can always install the heel pads yourself.

they look nice and will extend the life of the your floor mats.

I bought these mats and then I put that metal heel pad on them. I bought the cheaper ones because I wanted to make sure I liked the setup before I poked holes in real nismo mats. They are definitely a cheaper quality from OEM and NISMO and you can probably expect to buy another set in a few years. But, they are not bad for the price.

That's a damn good price for those mats especially the 08 versions since most places charge near $60.

NISMO mats are not the same thickness as the OEM's but are a must for the NISMO enthusiast

I also bought NISMO mats because I found a reasonable price. Wear was no better or worse than OEM mats. BTW these are not for sale.
