【Inside the Car】 Change from OEM! With “Gorilla-level” strong 3D mats, mud stains are nothing to worry about

As someone who loves the outdoors, I want to be a bit mindful about the floor mats since my shoes often get sand and mud on them. If I'm going to change from worn-out OEM mats, I’d like to choose one that is “Gorilla-level” strong.

Worn-out genuine mats, it might be time for a replacement

The automotive accessory brand CRAFTWORKS has added a special model of the "Gorilla Mat" for the N-BOX/N-BOX Custom JF1 JF2. This model is compatible with all grades from November 2011 to August 2017, including special edition vehicles.

The Gorilla Mat comes as a set of four pieces for the driver's seat, passenger seat, center, and second row. Since you can replace the entire foot area, you can dramatically improve the cleanliness of the interior from the ground up. Given how long you’ve owned the car, it’s nice to address places you use every day like this.

Catching rain, mud, and juice all at once

Especially for the "first generation N-BOX," which has been on the market for some years now, many vehicles likely continue to use the genuine mats. Even without changing cars, just having new mats can refresh your mood.

Made from TPE material. It features waterproof and dirt-resistant specifications, making it easy to wipe off rain, mud, or juice, and if it gets dirty, you can take it out of the car for a full wash. The heat resistance temperature is 100℃, the cold resistance temperature is -60℃, and with a raised edge of about 3.5 cm, it effectively contains mud, sand dust, and food spills within the mat.

Going out with kids, going camping, or taking pets along. If we're going to have fun with the car, I want to use it without worrying too much about the dirt on the floor. It seems better to have a mat that can be removed and washed when we get home, so we can relax and play without hesitation.

The fit that is unique to vehicle-specific design

The floor shape is measured using 3D scanning and designed specifically for each vehicle with the supervision of a mechanic. It can be installed simply by placing it down, so no major work is needed. While using a generic mat can protect the floor, if we're going to replace it, it looks much neater if it fits perfectly inside the car. When the mat fits snugly, there's also no sense of it being an afterthought.

Depending on the hardness and rebound of the material, and the shape of the edges, a gap of about 1-2cm may occur. This is something to check before installation.

I still want the N-BOX to keep going strong.

There are various aspects like tires, wheels, and lights that one may want to focus on. However, the floor mats that come in contact with shoes every day have a significantly higher priority. Instead of worrying about getting dirty and using them cautiously, it might be better to have the mindset that if they get dirty, you can just wash them, right?

I still want to drive my first-generation N-BOX. It’s definitely an option to completely update the flooring first. When I see mats that can be washed easily like this, I feel more at ease knowing I can hop in without hesitation even on rainy days or after outdoor activities. Because you can just wash them, after all. Since it’s a beloved car that I’ve been with for a long time, let’s take care of it while using it without hesitation.
