Weather Tech Floor Mats GS350 AWD

I will pay the taxes. No way to get around that one! That was a mistake. I'll edit it out of the OP.
Good catch!
Originally, I bought the Lexus mats and those are not adequate for me, so I returned them. Weather Tech mats hold a lot of gunk that can be tracked into the car. A lot more than the Lexus mats hold.
The Lexus mats are less than an inch tall and won't hold much water/slush. They look nice, but they don't hold nearly the amount of water that the Weather Tech mats holds.

I've had MacNeil's WeatherTech mats in the past. I have the Lexus OEM rubber mats now. The WeatherTech mats are far superior. The polymer is rigid and easy to clean, the fit is excellent, and the coverage is superior. The Lexus OEM mats are constructed of low-cost rubber, cover very little, and are difficult to clean due to the material's flexibility and porousness.

That was my impression when I saw both varieties of mats. Weather Tech makes a far superior mat than what Lexus offers.
Yeah, unfortunately taxes seem to be unavoidable.

I had these liners in my 3GS. I was impressed with how they fit. Let me qualify, that I had these on the 2008 GS with tan interior. The black rubber AW Lexus mats looked ridiculous with tan interior, so I went with these WeatherTech liners. They were a great match and kept the underlying carpet clean (although the car was totaled, so it didn't matter in the end). I wear leather soled dress shoes a lot. From what I recall, my foot would slip a LOT on those liners because of the material they use. Unless they have changed their ingredients (doesn't look like it), they're just too slippery for my taste. I have black interior now and have the Lexus AW mats...couldn't be happier.
If I ever have an inch of water from my shoes sitting on my floor mat/liner....I'm doing something wrong. There is ZERO chance I would ever let that much water just sit and accumulate. Lexus AW mats work for me. YMMV.

What upsets me about these mats is I emailed WeatherTech 3 weeks ago and was told it would be 12-16 weeks until they were ready because of the new floor clips Lexus is using. So I bought the Lexus mats which are crappy but better than nothing. I want the WeatherTechs but I'm not spending another $100 on front mats.

Have weather tech floor mats in all my cars (past 4 cars) and I love them! You cant go wrong. I would advise buying from the vendor here as I saved just under 30 bucks going through them then weathertech themselves.

Saving $30 on WeatherTechs is rare and is a good deal. Can you tell us which vendor?
