Great pics Alan

When did you decide to go with the all-weather floormats? After how many vaccuums??

The car was delivered with these floor mats and I decided to keep them in. They've never been taken out since new, and they've NEVER been cleaned.....just shaken out to remove the dirt. I always bring the car to a great car wash in my area, and only for an exterior wash......I do the interior cleaning myself.

Great pictures of "our" car. LOL You and I have the same Amber UL. Mine will be 14 days old in a few days. Have you noticed the gorgeous sparks that come out of the Amber color in the sunlight?

I know exactly what you mean about the "sparks" in the sunlight. I am constantly getting compliments about this color. I never had second thoughts after I made the decision to get the Amber Pearl.

I, too, have been getting many compliments about the color. My wife and I drove it to the dealership one day; as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. We heard a scream "HERE, the Amber Pearl" and a couple of Customers (followed by a Sale Rep) walked straight toward our car; they looked stunned in the face and kept telling us how beautiful the color was. This couple has been looking to see an Amber, and we just happened to be there at the right moment. Couldn't be more perfect! lol

Perfect timing. I was just getting ready to order some black mats to replace my gray ones.....until now. I like those all weather mats. I may just get those instead. I wonder if they are comparably priced. Lexus-parts wants $138 for the regular set of 4.

Hmmm.......I shouldn't have said it that way. I meant, the only gift she's given me for the new car. Otherwise, she just gave me a pretty Tommy Bahama shirt which matches the cars colors.

Alan - your car is absolutely gorgeous. That is my favorite color after my Ruby red.
The color is so unique. Even though I love the Royal Ruby, it's starting to look very common. I see so many dark red cars on the road now.
What color are your all-weather floor mats? I want to get some and wonder what would look best with the cashmere interior?

The mats are OEM black. I think that this color is the best for the cashmere interior. I wasn't aware that Lexus had too many different colors in all weather mats for the ES350, but I'd still take the black.
