UPDATES!!!!
The samples are finally finished!!! However, they are still in Japan so once I get them in my hands, I can give a final assessment over the small details. I should hopefully get the first samples in a couple weeks or so. We ordered a black/black checker, but I guess their definition of that is dark grey/black checker. Let me know if you guys are ok with the light gray/black checker and dark gray/black checker. If everyone is cool with those variations, then I will not even bother making a true black/black checker.

YAY!!!! So the samples came in this morning, and I found some time to do a test fit on the S14 we have here.
From the 2 sets I test fitted today, I'm very pleased with the overall fit and finish. I was really worried about the thickness of the mat. Too thin would definitely not feel nice, and too thick would cause problems with the seat rails/trim pieces and wouldn't bend to curves as nicely. Luckily, the thickness of the mats was a good match. Sizing/fitment is perfect, and the hole for the stopper hook does its job. The one-piece rear floor mat for S14 fits like a glove, and wraps over the tranny tunnel perfectly. Heel pad is durable and felt really nice under the pedal.

I will be test fitting the S13 mats later on this week....
Hey guys!! Just wanted to let you guys know I finally finished test fitting the mats on the S13. There were some slight issues with the mat not clearing the foot rest, so we re-worked that section and while we were at it, we decided to produce a "full-size" mat for S13s. After feedback from many drivers over the weekend, we have now redesigned the mat to cover the whole floorboard, unlike the OEM mat that does not cover the hump by the trans tunnel. So the end result will look more like an S14 driverside mat for S13, but trimmed down to fit better.

Yeeeeeeee man
Got to test fit the S13 Light Grey / Black mats in the whip
Fitment is good, disregard the door bars, that's obviously not going to clear there
Cool stuff if you think about it, there's no "cool" floormats out for import aftermarket, even though it makes a huge visual difference in the interior
Also for the S14 guys the rear mats are cool since it's all one piece so you can see the checker bling on the trans hump haha

70%? dmax isn't going to make no autozone floor mats!!
these are quality like in THEY WILL LAST AND FIT BETTER!!! more quality and not as expensive as karo or origin...
second of all what do you expect to pay $50? i think 150 for fronts only is a decent price... i would pay 240 if it would be like stated in the other thread the rear would cover the whole hump then i would pay 240 cause it would look nice to cover that bare hump in my gutted car...

Once we get a solid ETA, I'll put up for Black S14 mats. Why are these expensive? 1st off, they aren't. Cheaper than OEM. More importantly, you can not buy these from Nissan anymore. The only other options are cheap knock offs, smelly foot used and torn ones, or ones with the heel plate on the wrong side so you look like an idiot. Your choices.. I like the price.

we are supposed to wait till they finish making them i guess... but that's the problem i think they won't make them if not enought people are interested in them... and people are always interested but when the time comes to pay everybody magically dissapears to other threads... hence the down payment so they know exactly how many really want them...

If you are concerned with giving your money away to some random company. Check Ravspec reviews on Zilvia, they are a well known D-max vendor. So your money is in good hands.
I wonder if it will just be a limited quantity? Would be nice if the ones on this group buy will be the only ones with these mats lol

if they make a black and white one i want mine to change also :P
most checkered floor mats (i've seen) LOOK white but are actually a light grey color, when you put a light grey next to a black it makes it look white from a distance... i guess it's cause white gets really ugly when it gets dirty no matter how much you clean it... so making it a light grey eliminates that greyish color white gets when dirty...
but yeah like i said before... dmax could you make that grey a bit lighter...
bboyoracle
01-11-2009, 05:15 PM

Yep therefore keep it a darker grey. A light grey will just get dirtier easier.

01-11-2009, 09:31 PM
but a dark grey would look like its a damm hot topic carpet or something like that... ive seen a bunch of light grey/black checkered carpet and they look nice and don't get that dirty but thats my opinion... grey/black checkers is like EVERYTHING at hottopic... wujuu lets make out s chassis mainstream emo looking...
when i say light grey i mean something lighter than that grey not light as in almost white...

we will have ETA shortly. Right now Dmax Japan still busy with TAS (Tokyo Auto Salon) .. We hope to have an answer in a week or so.
The list are growing fast, I think we should have enough people in a week or two, maybe not necessary.
We are giving the first 10 x people of each color a lower price, so if you are serious, put in the deposit.

Good point, guys, please post what you would prefer!
i don't think we are really pros on materials so could you give us choices?
i think a hard material in black would look nice but also i think people might want those aluminum plates even if they don't look that nice imo they are really functional...

just stick with the stock design on that part, some kind of rubber footing... no metal or aluminum or any kind of metal sitting on the carpet, it could cause rust to spread onto the fabric if the coating was ever compromised.

01-14-2009, 06:15 PM
yea i vote some kind of ruber or the reinforced carpet or whatever they use. im not a big fan of the metal or diamond plate..
DMaxUSA

For the heel pad, there are generally 2 options: reinforced carpet, and rubberized plastic.
Reinforced carpet is what we normally use for the VIP/Bellezza floormats. However they are pretty pricey.
Rubberized plastic heel pad would look similar to the Karo ones. These are generally cheaper, but not as comfortable.

it was discussed before, the blue is MAYBE so you can see the edges and the shape, because black on black would not let you see the heel plate and edges...
PM dmax and ask yourself... i don't they they will include the blue line myself...

Bejota is correct!! At first, I thought we might do colored trim, but realized it didn't look good. But I had to leave the outline because you couldnt tell where the heel pad was.....
Also, solid black doesnt seem to be too popular, so we may not even do it at all. I have seen a sample of black/black checker which was kinda interesting....So if you guys like that style, please speak up!!!

i was thinking about this earlier and ive heard of people wanting dark grey/black and light grey/black and was gonna propose INSTEAD of black why not make the black/black checkered and a greyish/black checker? cause it should make both parties happy and people who want black will get black also included like 3 birds in one hit? would make black carpet + black/black checkers + black/white(grey) checkers people happy!

Quick updates for you guys:
1)Finding ONE carpet supplier (at a reasonable price) for all the colors you guys are asking for is kind of difficult. So far, every supplier we have contacted can make red/black, and blue/black checker for sure. But then, only a couple can do black/black checker, and those suppliers do not have light grey/black checker.
2)1 piece rear mats for S13 will not be able to be made. Since the rear hump on the S13 is so complex, the floor mat will not lay down properly. Therefore, S13s will have 2 piece rear mats, and S14s will continue to have 1 piece mats.
3)Roll cage cutout versions will most likely be produced on a later batch due to the lack of cars for me to do templates/test fits on. I would like to test fit on at least 3-5 cars (both S13 and S14) with various cages just so that I will be confident you guys wont have any issues.
If anyone is local to the Torrance area that is willing to let me check out your car for test fitting (S13s and S14s with roll cages), please PM me.

If you are willing to do the work and help with shipping you could send me an All Black carpet (if you produce them) and I could test fit it, take quality photos and make a template of where the carpet needs to be sectioned. Then I can send it back to you to make the cutout and to have a template for others. Mine is a customized S&W cage:

I stand with the grey/black. It's hard to identify the checkered pattern if it's black/black. That sort of defeats the purpose. Might as well be plain black. But that's just me.
But I have been wondering. My stock floormats are not black. They are grey. Ever considered offering plain grey?
But I still want the grey/black checkered.

Once they are done they will be sold to members who have deposits first, then it will be first come, first serve.
Thank you for your patience!

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates, but I'm checking in with Japan-side everyday for their progress reports, but it has been pretty lacking.
First of all, please know that the major reason for the delays is that it is me, personally, that is being picky. I am trying my hardest to provide everyone a quality piece, but at a reasonable price point. I REFUSE to cut back on quality just to make a "quick" dollar.
For example, we received a sample book of fabric swatches from a company that said they could produce a quality floormat in the color patterns we wanted, at a low price point.
This is what they sent:

http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp99/DMaxUSA/IMG_2786.jpg
For me, this is not acceptable. First of all, the fabric is way too thin. Secondly, the dye used seems as though it would fade in sun, meaning your red checker mat is gonna turn pink!! Third, the trim on the edge of the mat is very loose, and will easily unravel. Lastly, the heel pad offered is a hard plastic, and if your feet are even a little wet, your heel will not stay in place.
It actually takes a lot of forethought to produce a floormat (more than I thought really), but I feel like I shouldn't "settle" for any of the parts I put on my car, even if it is just a floormat....

yeah, i get you, that black/grey looks nice btw... but they do look really thin... the heel pad thing isnt that bad being hard plastic but maybe they would just break with enough pressure who knows that would bother me more than just having them slip when wet...

Price will not decrease, Dmax is having a hard enough time finding a manufacturer to them for the current price.

DMaxUSA

Updates:
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of udpates recently. The last month has been ridiculously hectic and confusing. My incessant pressuring of japan-side has just made D Max Japan upset, and they pretty much said "Do it yourself then!!" So, we were forced to redo the whole process all over again. The biggest problem was that we could not find a quality floor mat supplier that could do everything we wanted in-house. But the good news is we were able to find a supplier that was able to meet the majority of our demands, such as colors, floor mats, and "D Max" logo plate. We are still waiting for a sample of the mats to verify thickness/quality.
So cliff notes -
-Colors are confirmed for blue/black checker, red/black checker, grey/black checker, and black/black checker
-Heel pad will be dense fabric (a rubber/plastic heel pad seemed like it might crack after a couple years)
-Outside trim color will be black for all mats
-D Max logo will be an embroidered sewn-on patch. We attempted to use a metal plaque with the D Max logo printed on it, but it seemed like it would get scratched/faded easily
As for the D Max patch, we just received the samples in the mail yesterday.
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp99/DMaxUSA/IMG_2946.jpg
We have decided to go with a darker blue logo, since it will not show dirt so easily. We have also asked them to round the corners so that when it is stitched into the mat it will not unravel easily.
Colors samples:
http://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/37952/1h/image.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/i/f/web-cocoon_dfm-t001_1
I know black/black checker isnt shown; I'm still waiting for a clear picture of that one.

UPDATES!!!!
The samples are finally finished!!! However, they are still in Japan so once I get them in my hands, I can give a final assessment over the small details. I should hopefully get the first samples in a couple weeks or so. We ordered a black/black checker, but I guess their definition of that is dark grey/black checker. Let me know if you guys are ok with the light gray/black checker and dark gray/black checker. If everyone is cool with those variations, then I will not even bother making a true black/black checker.

so do you guys have the floor mats for the roll cages?
There didnt seem like much demand for a roll cage cutout version, so we do not plan on stocking it/mass-producing it. We can get a single order custom mat done for about $60 extra. The upside is that we can produce a mat SPECIFIC to your car, even trunk mats if you wanna get fancy. A custom order mat also includes the option of ordering a different color than what is normally offered.

i would still prefer black/black, but the dark gray/black looks good too.

YAY!!!! So the samples came in this morning, and I found some time to do a test fit on the S14 we have here.
From the 2 sets I test fitted today, I'm very pleased with the overall fit and finish. I was really worried about the thickness of the mat. Too thin would definitely not feel nice, and too thick would cause problems with the seat rails/trim pieces and wouldn't bend to curves as nicely. Luckily, the thickness of the mats was a good match. Sizing/fitment is perfect, and the hole for the stopper hook does its job. The one-piece rear floor mat for S14 fits like a glove, and wraps over the tranny tunnel perfectly. Heel pad is durable and felt really nice under the pedal.

Hey guys!! Just wanted to let you guys know I finally finished test fitting the mats on the S13. There were some slight issues with the mat not clearing the foot rest, so we re-worked that section and while we were at it, we decided to produce a "full-size" mat for S13s. After feedback from many drivers over the weekend, we have now redesigned the mat to cover the whole floorboard, unlike the OEM mat that does not cover the hump by the trans tunnel. So the end result will look more like an S14 driverside mat for S13, but trimmed down to fit better.
