What do you guys think about this?

The way I see it, it's like buying Porche running shoes for $600+. It's just a way to say "I'm more baller then you". I would buy them if my car were a show car but I'm not sure that I would buy them on a daily. Then again, you could buy them used for next to nothing compared to the MSRP.

Does anyone even carry the D-Max floor mats anymore? I need a set of the light grey/black front mats for my car.

I think the REAL question is: Why are you putting dirty feet in your car?! lol

<3 my D-Max mats. It's really nice to have a floor mat that is designed specifically for your car. How much do you think OEM floor mats that fit right would cost brand new from the dealership? I don't think they sell them for the S13 anymore, but I am willing to bet they would be about the same price as the D-Max ones- if not more.

Why is this even a topic? This doesn't deserve it's own thread.

their aero is actually the cheapest "name brand" aero you can get. hell, origin and version select kits are more money...and their turn signals lights are the biggest rip off in the entire world. junyan makes them and all they do is repackage them and triple the price. not exagerrating...its been proven.

They're all knockoffs of KARO.

KARO


EDIT: And as referenced above, I would argue that Dmax is not "baller", but I would also in turn argue that people should buy parts because they like the part, not because they want to be "baller".

[Levan. B]

i love mine, they fit good and look awesome.


Those KARO's look way better though. Rubber insert!

[Kaizen.]

Walmart has 15 dollar Rubbermaid mats.

that checkered design looks gay.

i don't care who makes it.

this thread fails at life


you guys fail at life


you should all be skinned alive for having a discussion about shitty floormats


there are a ZILLION aftermarket companies that make high quality floormats. why this thread even exists, is beyond me. and yes, they should still be available through most dealerships.

I have custom Supermade floormats from Karo {Sisal} (aka Vertex Floormats)... Special Special pulled strings favor of a friend, no you can't have them... Custom!!

My fiance HATES them... I keep them clean by telling her "if you get them dirty... I will re-do the entire carpet in the house with it"... so far I have won... waiting till my car is on fire!!

Not trying to sound cheap, but then questioning the purchase of said mats? (At $170?)

Never change Zilvia....

[Brian]

Loved my DMAX mats. SO bitchin.


I have a used set of the red/black WEAPON R mats if somebody wants them. Had them in my J30

Everything in Japan is a knock off of something someone else made in Japan. Every company sells dmax corners, tails, blinkers. all the same shit. vertex lights, yashio factory lights, uras lights all the same shit. All bought offshore and overpriced coming to the us because we know no better.

is a bootleg louis v. bag baller ? .....nooooooo

dmax = knock off .... soooo ball till u fall guys .

[ZX88]

I bought some weapon R mats. they are good for 30 bucks. no offense DMAX is raping people on those mats.

[kalypso123]

if the fiber starts to rip off with a little bit of wear then its cheap quality, DMAX might last a lot longer then a walmart brand mat.

[newslidz]

I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE BY BALLER MATS. because then they dont have the money to buy decent parts to keep there cars running but maby I should get some since I am so baller and the shit under my hood is legit and some even call it baller

So true. Which isn't to say their shit isn't quality. It's good. They got nathan on Vertex though.

[MikeisNissan]

All I can say is my mom liked them. Even told my dad to get some for his Chrysler.

Floor mats

HAHA I see what you've done there

Seriously, buy what you like people...

[RichieSR20]

Bare metal...

[C-unit]

This thread is so lame...

fuck floor mat, put pig skin in your car.

[HayaiSaru]

It gets imported from Japan. shitty exchange rate + mark up = $$$

[dazed]

C-Unit, is that the LHD or RHD model you posted ^

[Wake]

This thread sucks.

Vertex mats are baller ONLY because they are actually made by KAROism FOR Vertex. Same with supermade, INGS+1 and a couple others.
As far as I know D-max and weapon R are made by the same factory in china, just like all of D-max's lights that you can also buy on ebay.
Bottom line is you people are literally arguing over paying for a label that a company stuck on after the fact.

And these 2 quotes sum it up. fucking idiots with their "baller" shit. I hate the fact that people will pay for AND argue about something when they dont even know where the original design came from.
