Damnit, I thought I read diamonds in floor mats.....i woulda done it to match my crystal on my curtains.

 

Oh, God no! Please don't

Welcome to the board, sorry you got hammered on this question, but don't let it run you off. I value the honesty of people around here, even when they don't agree with me, I would rather be told my idea is stupid than to have people be nice to my face and let me do something dumb.

 

yea, im glad i got everyones opionion, i just wanted good mats with the infinit logo on it that will hold up on the weather im in (snow, mud,) just didnt wanna ruin stock carpets

 

^You could get the OEM rubber mats.

Can I make a suggestion? It's worked for me on a number of cars and if done properly, it looks almost OEM for a fraction of the cost.

Take your front mats into Pep Boys, AutoZone or your local favorite shop that carries generic heavy duty all weather mats. They come in various colors to match your carpet. Make sure the mat is larger than your carpet OEM mat. Your best bet may be some of the Truck/SUV sizes. Should run about $25 for the front pair.

When you get home, simply place your OEM carpet mat on top of the new larger mat, trace a pattern and using a good pair of sharp scissors, cut the pattern. Actually, before you cut, see if you want the larger mat to cover even more areas/nooks than the OEM mat. Do this for both sides.

Once you're done, run a 1/4" drill through the rear of the mat to match the small peg that keeps it from shifting. Place the newly custom cut mats in your G and you're all set!

(Just don't pick those cheesy Type "R" mats!)

The problem with doing this is a mat that's already the correct size will have a raised border around the edge so that water will stay on the mat and not drain onto the carpet. By cutting another one to size, you won't necessarily have that edge.

Just buy the OEM rubber mats. They're very well made and fit perfectly.

 

Buckeye: I absolutely agree. The OEM all-weather mats are better. But even here in Colorado, I've not had *that* much snow on my shoes to create a puddle of water. Maybe it's also because I tap my shoes against the lower door sill as I get into the car (but that's a whole different story). I guess I was comparing $25 to $50 or more. But hey, whatever works, right?
