Default All weather floormats for 2nd gen?

Anyone know where I can get a set of All Weather mats for a 2nd gen GS? I went to the dealer and they told me the no longer carry them because of the floor mat recall.

Any alternative that is like factory fitment?

thanks in advance.

Very hard to find even before the floor mat recall. I got lucky when I bought my gs because a few days after someone posted em on ebay. That and the forum classifieds will be your best bet. GL

The Lloyd Mats Rubbertite ones are okay. Just be sure to put in the hooks when using 'em.

I have the real Mccoy in my car and I love them. I paid 80.00 for them at the dealership as they are literally all the same parts from generation to generation.

yea, the problem is as OP posted. Toyota/Lexus not selling them anymore because of safety issues.

ebay i suppose is your best bet...

For all the other ones you buy on the internet, it's hard to tell just how rubbery and non-slip it will be, whether it'll be like tire rubber/pencil eraser or whether it'll be slick like plastic. Even mats marketted as non-slip just have texture, but may not be rubbery.
That being said, you can just get a generic one from parts store/costco/target and see how that works. Not rocket science.
