I've been thinking about getting a new set of floor mats for the S13.. I've been looking around...didn't see anything in the local shops that I like...would rather have something OEM/close to OEM. Mine are worn out/faded and its something that can really make an interior look great when you open up the door.
Three options.
1. New OEM ones from the dealership - a bit pricey, but doable. A little boring, but they'll fit nice and snug.
2. Aftermarket - Bride, Origin, etc. all make nice mats..but the only problem is they're all for RHD vehicles, and I'd rather not have the rubber foot pad on the pass. side.
3. 350z Nismo mats - Something I've been wanting to look into, but I don't know anyone who personally owns one...So I've never been able to compare the size of them to the stock S13 mat. If they would fit well, they would def. be my favorite option. OEM looks with just enough flash to set it off a little bit. Does anyone know if these mats will fit into an S13? Very curious.
Anyone have any imput on the Z mats? Other options/opinions?

1) Doesn't exist as of like 5 years ago.
2) Shitty because it just looks wierd.
3)Won't fit.
Soo.. go check out the ones on ebay. There are several different manufacturers, and they all seem good. I'm going to buy mine from there, as it's the only place to buy from nowadays.. fucken Nissan...Why can't they be like toyota and always have every part for every vehicle??

get some of the checkered weapon rs. they look like the KAROism ones, without having to pay 400 for a new set. i think they are 50 for a set. not close to stock, but the coolest ones out there in my opinion.
edit* they are called g-specs.

Bride mats wouldn't go well anyway with the recaro.
I think I'm just going to have to go with some new mats that are based off the original designs, but not from the factory.
Are you SURE the z mats won't fit? too long?

They have the S13 pattern already scanned in and the 240SX logo if you want it embroidered like OE. They also do the grommet just like OE to fit the mat clip.
They never did a hatch or trunk mat but could easily with a template, I never pushed for it since I never owned an S13.

karoism and similar ones are the shit, but waaaaaay too baller for me. t&e makes sick ones too, but still way too pricey.
ive got the nismo 350z mats in my car they fit pretty well.
