I dunno,

They don't look like the ones on the one and only anniversary edition that I've seen. I am not really an expert here but they look to be from either a 2nd or 3rd gen LS. Any other ideas?

You guys with the double deuces can stand down

That's all I can see from the things, no pics of the anniversary rims. I'll take a pic of my mats tomm if I have time to show it's a true '94.

vraa, that is a anniversary rim, and how do i know! well i have a 94 LS-400 and i'm the second owner and they are the alloys i have on mine. also if you have the original floor mats they should have "anniversary edition" embroider right on them. from the pic you posted is the exact same color i have. just this summer i wanted to find New Anniversary mats for mine, and i was told from a number of Lexus car dealers that they are nowhere to be found. so i just purchased a set of plain ones for that year. hope i helped.

Oh i forgot to mention that the white paint on these babies are not exactly white. it's called warm gray (pearl), code 046 and is super cool as far as white goes. (3 part paint process) this is one of the #one reasons i bought this car. NEOGEO

Well,

Now it seems apparent that the wheels on this supposed Anniversary edition that I am looking at are incorrect. These look just like the regular LS wheels, a solid large center cap with a good sized emblem in the center. I think maybe the original buyer must have gone gaga with the gold so that's why it has the different wheels, big honkin gold emblems.

Just curious, what are your interior colors? This one is twotone, light buckskin seats with a lightish brown accents on the doors and the dash. I've never seen a twotone interior on an LS so maybe it is an Anniversary after all?? But, like I have said before, it does have the matts.

Cool

My interior colors are two tone also, taupe and a sorta cream buckskin. the mats are a taupe and they come in light and dark shades. trying to match these are almost impossible without being right there at the dealers. also they did come with the gold emblems but the grill frame was chrome thank god and i like the way it looks with that combo.

Hey vraa, what are you doing with my car? just kidding, your baby is exactly what i have in my garage. i love this combo and it still turns heads. yours looks like it's in great shape and the same condition mine is in. you do have the Anniv. edition and they do look differant then the normal ones for some reason. they seem to sit differant and the color combo seems to make this. i really think it's that color not white and it seems to change with differant lighting. if you need new mats good luck as stated before you won't find any. i'm going to try and have my driver side mat repaired, it is worn only where the heel rest on that square insert is.
