All these talks over how expenisve the mats are is just plain stupid. If you can afford the G35 then you should be able to afford the mats. And if you feel a brand new mats from the dealer is too expensive then go look for a set of use one. Sure someone is going to sell one. I don't use the oem one just because I don't drive the car till the summer time plus I just use crappy canadian tire. Also the crappy tires are just for the front 2 at about 40 bucts and getting a smaller rear ones are 30 bucks. So the total cost is about the same.

 

Agreed, I have spent the past 5 years trying to teach this to my CEO. What it cost us to build has nothing to do with the price (as long as it's not higher), it's all about what it's worth to the customer!

IIRC, my new summer mats were about $180 last spring. Haven't put in the winters yet.
