We have finally nailed down all the details with Mr. Taniguchi from D-MAX for the LDH floor mats. They currently do not stock these, but he has agreed to special order these for us.

Once the order is placed he told us it would take 4 weeks to fulfill, but we're going to say 6 weeks to be on the safe side. These will be LDH floor mats so they will fit the S13 and S14 240SX with no issues. There was a group buy some time ago on Zilvia so we suggest searching for that thread as buyers posted pictures of them installed.

The following colors are available:

Red/Black Checker
Blue/Black Checker
Light Grey/Black Checker
Dark Grey/Black Checker

Only full-sets (front and rear) are available. They will not fulfill orders for front or rear sets only.

Price: $224.00 + Shipping

Shipping Rates

Express Air (EMS) - $82
Standard Air (SAL) - $73
Surface (Sea) - $39

The price has officially dropped to $224 as we have received over 20 deposits. I have placed the order with Mr. Taniguchi at D-MAX and he informed me that we have until Sunday to send any additional orders to him.

If you are interested in joining the group buy please PM or email us the following information:

1. Full Name
2. Address
3. Email Address
4. Color Choice
5. S14 or S13

We will send you an invoice by email you can use to pay the $120 deposit to join the group buy. The invoices will be updated and re-sent once the floor mats have arrived at our shop and are ready to ship. The second invoice will include the remaining balance for the mats themselves along with the cost of shipping. If for some reason the group buy were to not go through all deposits would be fully refunded.

silnv - Sorry for the confusion. I've updated the post to state that if you want in the group buy we ask for a $120 deposit with the remainder + shipping due once we have received them and they are ready to ship.

This is our first group buy so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

This might be a stupid question but:

Is it safe to assume that the GB only requires 10 Orders of ANY LHD floor mats? The reason I ask is because there are different versions for both S13 and S14's so it might take significantly longer if 10 of one or the other is required.

GTR-Garage
06-05-2013, 12:36 PM
That is correct, any LHD floor mats.

Count me in, but what he said^^^^looks the s14 mats are pictured. Will the s13 mats be like the old ones where it has the "cut out" for the cat hump? Also i want to order a wing also. Can i pay for everything together and have it shipped together to save a bit? I don't mind to wait for everything.

Thanks for the clarification. Would theses be able to be purchased in the future? I would be interested in 2 sets one for s13 one for s14, however they are very far down on my item list and I have my play money tied up at the moment.

Mr. Taniguchi told us that they don't have pictures of the LDH floor mats available, but that they would be the same as the one's they sold in the US previously. I searched and found plenty of pictures of them, but I did not want to post any of those pictures in this thread because the previous group buy was organized by another company and I did not want to step on their toes.

In regard to shipping, we can combine shipping, but with the mats and a roof/trunk wing it would be a bit difficult. Because of the length of the spoilers the box they ship in cannot be very wide or they will exceed Japan Post dimension limits. To ship the floor mats with the spoilers we would have to "roll" the mats up or somehow wrap them around the spoiler.

Yes, they will be available for purchase down the road, but the price will not be as low.

I have seen these for sale before a couple years ago, not on Zilvia. And they were $400 shipped. This price is awesome! I might have to pick up a set.

don't mean to shit on your thread. awesome looking product, just wish they were a little less expensive. it's not like there was a floor mat "mold" that d-max destroyed and now they have to recreate it, therefore increasing the price, so i'm just trying to understand if there's something more than just "supply and demand". i'm looking through the old group buys (can't believe it's been 3-4 years, seems like just yesterday), and they were able to sell them for $220 shipped (front and rear). how many do we need to get on the GB to get it that low?

We understand where you are coming from 240KA. I think the issue here is in the situation versus then an now. I'm assuming the other company did their group buy while D-MAX was active in the US and I'm also assuming that those floor mats came over on a container, and considering how little space they would take up that makes their transport from Japan to the US basically free.

In addition, when those previous mats were produced they may have been a part of a higher production volume. D-MAX will be charged less by their supplier the more mats they order and in-turn the D-MAX dealer will be charged less.

We are only ordering 10 sets. If it were 20 the price would go down. Unfortunately, I doubt we can get 20 commitments in a group buy for these. I can tell you for certain, however, that unless we throw a bunch of these on a container we send over, we will never be able to sell them for $220 shipped.

There is a supply and demand issue at play. However, we are not benefiting from it in terms of profit. When all is said and done we're expecting to make less than $10 per set, if that. The shipping prices I quoted were based on 5kg, which is the weight of a full-set before they have been packed for shipping. In reality the shipping weight will probably be more like 7kg.

We asked Zilvia what parts they wanted and these floor mats were one of the top requests. After crunching the numbers it was clear there wasn't much money to be made off of them unless we pushed the price way higher than what we we viewed as fair. However, we're more interested in establishing ourselves as a trusted source for these sorts of parts even if it is a zero sum outcome financially.

I hope that clears up any questions.

http://zilvia.net/f/interior-exterior/278224-new-d-max-floor-mats-ready-ship.html

Look at the pricing in this thread, $260 Shipped: http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/297449-d-max-floor-mats-group-buy-2-a.html

When these were first around in 2009, I'm fairly sure that like everyone and their brother was buying them and Ravspec blew up the internet with GB's on various forums - which meant that the per unit cost was significantly lower since there were more units being bought.

Now here we are 4 years later, trying to buy something that's long been discontinued in the US and is essentially made to order. Those two things alone (discontinued/made to order) justify huge premiums in any real world scenario...

TLDR, this price is solid, I would like more people to purchase so that I can receive a set of mats sooner.

GTR-Garage
06-06-2013, 01:30 PM
We have enough commitments to the group buy for us to go ahead and proceed. We will be sending invoices out for the deposits today or tomorrow. Please check your PMs as I needed a few bits of information from some of you. As long as no one backs out on the deposits I will be calling D-MAX monday morning to place the order.

If anyone else wants the the 10th slot before Monday morning please send me a PM. As of now we are keeping the last set for stock.

GTR-Garage
06-07-2013, 06:19 AM
Invoices have been sent to everyone in the group buy. Please look them over and let me know if the color choices are correct and if there are any issues with your address. If you did not receive an invoice by email please let me know.

06-07-2013, 11:00 AM
We are up to 12 sets now. I will have to speak to Mr. Taniguchi to find out the exact price, but if we can get this up to 20 the price will drop.

Over $60? Really? Common...

I don't usually post much in these thread but this is enough. I understand that you're not trying to throw this sale thread off, but you could have easily PM'd him your concerns.

People always talk about "I wish x company was still in North America so that I can buy their products". Then when a vender finally decides to do something about it, people roll in to complain about the cost.

Modding a car costs money. If you really want the mats, then you have to pay to play.

We are still waiting on three deposits to be paid. I'm going to put a Wednesday deadline on this. I'm going to call and place the order Wednesday morning so if you're deposit isn't I'm not going to be able to order your mats. For everyone that has paid your deposit, thanks and we'll get the order placed very soon.

I would ask that if anyone has questions about the status of the group buy please post it in here as opposed to sending us a PM so everyone else can see.

Just a suggestion, you may want to put next to each member that you recieved their deposit, incase something happened with someone's payment. Once the GB is done and you've recieved everyone's payments you can change it to paid in full or waiting funds, etc.

Quick update gentlemen. Over the last couple days we've had a few more people join the group buy, which has put us near the 20 orders we need to negotiate a lower price with D-MAX.

I will let those of you who have put in your deposits make the decision of how we're going to proceed. We can either:

1. Wrap up the group buy today and place the order at the current price
2. Give it a day or two to see if we can get a couple more people to join

Any thoughts?

I have placed the order with Mr. Taniguchi. He said we have until Monday morning (Sunday night in the US) to put in any last minute orders so if you want to join the group buy you need to PM or email us so you can get your deposit in by Sunday night.

I made it clear with him that this was not an order for our stock and the time frame for production is going to be very important. I asked him what the "worse case scenario" for getting the mats done would be and he said 45 days. However, D-MAX has been very fast with everything we have ordered from them and their communication is very good so I would be surprised if it takes long than 30 days.

Thanks for the compliments gentlemen. We are quite aware that a good reputation is more important than a quick profit. We have over 20 orders so the price of these mats are now down to $224. If we can get this up to 30 orders I can probably negotiate that down to at least $215.

The group buy is now officially closed. Unfortunately we didn't make it to 30 sets, but it turns out that it didn't really matter. We spoke to Mr. Taniguchi and asked him what kind of price we could get for 30 sets and I think he was a bit shocked. Apparently, we hit their bottom line at 20 sets.

I've sent him the last minute orders and we'll be making the final payment tomorrow. So now the clock is ticking. If anyone has any questions while we wait don't hesitate to ask, but try to keep them in the thread instead of PMing so everyone else can see.

Here is an update for everyone. I spoke to Mr. Taniguchi on the phone today and he told me the full order was sent to the manufacturer on 6/20 and that there are on schedule to be delivered to us by the last week of July so they are close to being right on time.

The floor mats have arrived ahead of schedule. I haven't even had a chance to open the boxes, but I wanted to give the group buy members a heads up so we can get these shipped as soon as possible.

I need everyone to send me an email at [email protected] and include the following:

1. Name
2. Zilvia Username
3. What mats you ordered
4. How you want them shipped

We have 1-3 in a spreadsheet, but I want confirmation to ensure that no one gets the wrong mats. Also, I know some of you wanted to combine shipping and a few are going to have their mats riding with a set of wheels so please let me know this for sure.

As soon as I have your information I'll send invoices to your email address that show your deposit and the amount due. We'll start shipping these out on Wednesday.

Here are the shipping rates once again:

Express Air (EMS) - $82
Standard Air (SAL) - $73
Surface (Sea) - $39

I'll be sending all this info to everyone's email address I have on record as well. I'll post some pictures of the mats up here as well.

We're only waiting to hear back from one member of the group buy. Everyone else has their final invoices or have paid them already.

We've managed to get the majority of mats shipped. There are only a few left to ship. The only member we haven't heard back from is 240boi115. Does anyone know him?

Mine are in the States already and I believe they shipped Friday... I'm expecting them by the end of the week.

EMS takes 3-5 business days. If your mats went out via EMS on Monday or Tuesday you may have them by the end of the week.

I received mine today! They look great. My only complaint is they are bent up and will require flattening to install in the car. I few days in some heat/humidity should make them lay flat.

With that said, I'm extremely pleased at how well this GB went and the product that was delivered. It was a very smooth process. Thank you GTR-garage for doing this.

Regards,

Glenn

A few of them came to us that way and I couldn't bring myself to cut the plastic open and then re-pack them. I'm glad they got to you so fast.

I'm sure you have tried pming him? He was on last night. I would send him a last chance notice at some point and move on to someone waiting inline for a set.

Quick question for those that have already received their Floor Mats:

Did your package track all the way through? Mine doesn't have anything showing after July 23rd, at which point it was "Dispatched from outward office of exchange"...

Figured they should be here at any day, just kind of bummed that the tracking ins't working.

Got my mats in Saturday. They look great! Mine were a little rolled up, but flattened them out no problem. Great doing business with GTR and look forward to doing so in the future.

@thefor526 ^ Mine tracked all the way through. It took a couple days to update from the point you are referring to though.

I'm traveling and on my phone so I can't look up your invoice to see which method you chose. Dispatch from outward office of exchange means they left Japan. If you chose Surface it won't show anything else for a few weeks. Once they hit US customs it will update to say Arrival at inward office of exchange. The next update will be Dispatch from inward office and they should arrive a day or two after that. For Economy or Express Air the updates will happen faster.

I ended up receiving my shipment yesterday, and they originally tried to drop it off on the 31st. Apparently as the package went through the system, people weren't removing/marking the tags so the tracking info didn't work for whatever reason. When I picked it up at the post office, the guy at the counter pulled off like 3 tags and said 'Idiots, they're supposed to remove these'.... Lol.

Hello Kunio!

Excellent job on the group buy! It was a true pleasure to do business with you and thanks for working out the deal/details with D-MAX Japan to make this LHD floor mats available once more.

I have a few little comments/mini-review regarding the my whole experience with this process.


Tracking information stopped working once item shipped out of japan so there was no way of telling when/if they were going to arrive. I was checking/refreshing the tracking page every morning at work. ;)



Kunio, you may want to let D-MAX Japan know (for future orders) to please use either a larger outer bag to package the floor mats or a small thin box. My two FRONT floor mats came all bent-in/smashed around the sides/edges since the bag was a little to small for them. I was able to get them 95% flatten down by leaving them under my bed for a whole day, but for the amount of money I paid for these I would have expected a more professional packaging arrangement. Again this is nothing of that you can control obviously, but I feel that it's worth letting D-MAX Japan know about it. :)



The quality of the floor mats is excellent and I am very happy with them! The fitment is SPOT-ON and awesome! Here's some pictures I took (sorry no install pics YET!) :D

Next time I'm going to pull the mats out of the plastic and re-box them. I was hesitant about opening anyone's bags up because I know it's nice getting something new that hasn't been opened and fiddled with. I would be upset if I bought a new phone and didn't get to pull that plastic protective sheet off the screen!

We've had interest in another group buy for the floor mats. Since this one went well we may organize another one.

I completely understand Kunio, nothing to do with your excellent service. This group buy went extremely well and I am 100% pleased with these floor mats :D

By the way feel free to use any pictures I uploaded here on your website if you wish Kunio.
It would be nice to have a picture of a clean interior with the D-MAX floor mats installed. ;)

for the people who had their mats shipped by "surface (sea)", have you gotten your mats yet? Kunio told me it would take about 30 days, and it looks as though the package shipped out on 7/22. 7/24 is the last update the tracking service is providing, which says "Dispatch from outward office of exchange" from Kanagawa.

GTR-Garage

We've had two members of the group buy who chose Surface email us to let us know that there mats have arrived. The longest I've ever seen something we've shipped via Surface take to arrive was around 45 days. I'll let you know what Japan Post says.
