They don't fit perfectly b/c of the Sedan shape. The rears def don't fit b/c of the tracks from the seats. I found that the OEM ones fit perfect however the water would leak over the edge and onto the carpet. I shake most of the snow off everytime I get into the car and that doesn't help much either.

The CT ones I have aren't as long as the OEM ones but are just as wide.

In case anyone is interested I do have the OEM infiniti winter rubber mats, front and rear in a box in my basement that I would sell. They are for the 05/06 G35 Sedan and are graphite in colour and are like new. PM me if interested. I was going to post them in the for sale section sometime.

They look nice, but they suck. I made 3 stops today and was forced to roll up my pant cuffs to keep them dry. @^$&***

I actually don't find the winter mats in my 07 to be too bad, or, perhaps let me say they are better then any aftermarket ones that I have seen for my 07.

No harm in asking.

Just click on the "Quote / Order" Link on the left side of the page and ask them over the internet.

They respond pretty quickly.

u won't happen to have a set for the coupe lying around?

*****
Someone that I met told me that they bought their OEM coupe all season mats for $75. I am awaiting a response from them. If not then I will buy it from Oakville.

$114 * 1.14 (tax) = $129.96 - 15% = $110.47

All that is required is to take in a printout of the above link to the respective specials.

Yeah, I've got to agree with some folks about the Infiniti winter mats. I find the driver's side mat, at least, doesn't really have a tall enough of a lip towards the front of the car. If the car is parked on a slope downwards towards the front water can run over the lip onto the carpets. No, I didn't have a lot of water accumulated there too.

I agree also that the Infiniti mats do look nice, fit pretty well, and don't move around at all. IMO, they're nice enough to get though.

Oakville had them on special back in October when I bought mine. I think it was 99.99 plus 15% off.

+1, they look awesome, it's just the lip that isn't tall enough. exactly what he said. I wonder if there is a way to 'mod' them with taller lip?

Sure take some clear silicone to them but it wouldn't look great.

I actually thought about that but it would def ruin the look. I do like the look of the all-season mats vs the factory carpets. I would get these even if it's just for summertime usage.

I keep them in my car year round. I have the willow interior which is tougher to keep the floors looking good.

Dealing for summer mats at Hyatt here in Calgary. Anybody got experience regarding whether they discount or not? Quote was $155.75, prepaid. I suggested I'd be happy to swing by and prepay $125. I'll let you know what they say. I did let them know about the Oakville and Westchester discounts, so if they won't deal, I'll just order from one of those dealers. Even if it costs me the same, I don't care.

Based on their other 'policies' I'm gonna speculate they will say...no discount for you! Test-drove a G35x and the sales guy there made sure to let me know 'we might drop the price $500 or so since it's winter and a slower time, but we'd NEVER go like $1000 off'. Guess where I didn't buy my 03 G sedan.

Yowsers SwivelMan, it sounds like Hyatt in Calgary figure that they have everyone by the short and curlies and can ask what they want. Can't blame you for shopping elsewhere.

As predicted by the all-seeing Swiv...

"I WILL NOT BE DISCOUNTING THE MATS SO PERHAPS YOU MAY HAVE TO CONTACT OAKVILLE.
VINCE"

I love the smell of arrogance in the morning. It smells like...lost business.

No problem, Vince, I'll get my mats at Oakville. And all my parts, service and future new cars anywhere but Hyatt...
