Got Weathertech Floor mats

http://www.autobarn.com/images/weath...floorliner.jpg I got these only a black color.

I don't know if anyone here has used them I will give my quick review.

1) High quality plastic
2) Very Durable
3) Keeps car clean
4) Easy to clean
5) Looks Good

Cost me around 130 but it was worth it, the frame hugs the sides so sand and crap don't go around the car but stay in the tub.

Those are the "floor liners". I have them too, very pleased. It's surprising how much crap they keep from spilling on the cheap carpet, easy to hose off too.

How well do these fit on a 2008 G35 Sedan? is it a flush fitment? and do they have a set for the rear seats?

They work awesome, I have them in my G. It's a flush fit for the fronts and the rears are flush too, the lip isn't as high though.

I have an '07 G35S. The pics show the front and rear floorliners as well as the trunk liner.

I have been very happy with the fitment of the pieces and the fact that the high lip around the side really protects the carpet.

Those liners are great. I have them in the front. I should get the backs, but no one rides back there. They are easy to clean, and protect 100% better than the regular weathertech mats.

+1 Since about 1995, the first thing I do after buying a new car is order a complete set of Weathertech mats from MacNeil. I got the front/rear/trunkliner for my wife's 2008 G35x when we bought the car in Sept. I think it was about $235 with shipping for all five pieces.

I have always bought the regular Weathertech mats. The liners look like they cover a bit more but I just don't like the looks. Not that the regular mats are especially sexy looking.

But, I'll vouch for the fact that these things do a great job of keeping a car clean. We live in the snow belt and these mats trap and hold lots of sand, salt, and slush. They are especially useful if you have kids. Think muddy soccer fields, beach sand, food. And they last the life of the car. I had them in a Volvo 850 Turbo sedan for 11 years. They didn't look like new but the car's carpeting did. Those gray mats discolored with use over time but never even started to detiorate. They were still doing their job when I traded the car in for a whopping $2,500 in 2005.

Weathertech makes a great product.

The fit is near perfect. The driver's side mat doesn't fit perfectly flush by the door, but I may tape it down to try to reshape it. It sometimes slides off the mounting post (the thing that fits in the hole), but that's more the fault of the car than the mat (the post is small, cheap plastic).

I can't deny that they keep the car clean...but I just can't ever see myself buying them. To me, it just seems to lose some of the interior appeal of a sports sedan. I bought the charcoal floormats(I have stone interior) and would rather replace those every year or two than buy rubber mats.

Just my .02...

Well the point is, they're not rubber..they don't feel cheap and I actually get compliments from my friends when they see them. They match the car well and don't look cheap..and aren't a pain to vacuum/clean. They look better than the cloth ones we have.

Take out,dump contents,pour water on them, soap, wipe, done. 5 minutes, versus..take vacuum..get cord for it..start vacuuming..spreading dust..start putting in effort to vacuum because the itty bitty sand bits aren't disappearing but just shifting around.

How would you compare these to the OEM all-season floor mats?
