Skeptical buy, happy outcome
I priced out the name brand "laser scanned" floor mats and it came out to about $250. I was a little taken back "is that what people pay?", I started looking for other brands and even OEM and nothing really stood out as far as price/quality. I.e. A 3rd party mat that was supposed to fit my Rogue was an affordable $100 but middling reviews about the true fit kept me from pulling the trigger. I started looking at just normal mats and these Amazon Basics came up but the price had me highly suspect . At only $25 I knew there had to be a catch and sure enough the catch was … not all that bad. You have to cut these to fit properly. The product itself is good. I wouldn't say great, as they are a bit on the flimsy side. But they don't smell and they have grippers on the bottom that actually work. Better yet, they have two holes on the very bottom where OEM mats catch on to. This really keeps them seated where I placed them. DO NOT CUT THESE OFF like the little instructions say. The cutting part isn't fun. You only get one shot (so don't miss your chance to blow) and it's nerve-wracking. Luckily, they are pretty forgiving in the way they look. For example, I messed up the passenger side by one row and nobody could ever tell. Better yet, since they are on the thinner side, they partially slide under the plastic molding to give that end-to-end look. These things seriously do not move and coverage is full. The back ones are a bit of a different story. Since my compact SUV is not as wide as say a full-size, I had to completely cut out the middle so the hump is exposed. It's not a big deal, but just to let you know that the width is for the widest, you'd have to seriously chop off some sides to even come close to making it work. In the end, I just went with two larger than normal back mats. I didn't get the back cargo mat. My father-in-law paid a small fortune for his mats. They don't move either and they look a bit better than mine as they are hard plastic. However, I'm up about $225 on him, so I'm perfectly happy with a bit of DIY. These mats stop rain/snow/dirt just as well and they easily pull out to clean. More than happy with Amazon.
