I may look into "Catch-All" mats at some point - had them on my Explorer and really liked them.

Do you think the ones I received for free (weathertech) are comparable to the Lexus ones or should I look into getting the Lexus ones?

I've got the weather tech mats also. They're made by MacNeil Industries down in Downer's Grove, IL. They've improved the GX set for the second row of seats. The ones we bought for my in-law's '04 GX over the summer had a small mat for each side of the 2nd row. The ones we bought in November for our GX are now wider and overlap in the middle. This works out great since my 3 kids usually all sit in the second row.
I've got the cargo mat for the rear also. I've been pretty happy with the entire set.
My '02 RX has a black set with the tan carpet and the mats have held up well after 3 years. My only complaint with the black is that you really see the white salt during the winter, but hey, better the salt on the mats than on the carpet.
Happy New Year to all of you on this great message board!!!

Hey Marc,
Your Silver GX470 looks great! Silver is a great color, next to black of course! HA! I picked up our Black 2005 GX470 yesterday and I am sure you feel the same way, it's awesome. It was well worth the wait. Congrats again and we'll continue to post our updates on the 2005 model!

I will go for the OEM Lexus Weathermats and give them a try, however get the Weathertech Cargo / Trunk mat when you have the chance, since it's a great product. I just ordered it and used it for my previous vehicles.
So far I have found a 5% rebate going through www.ebates.com for www.autoanything.com and the overall price and shipping is slightly less as compared to going to the Weathertech site and buying this.

Can you tell me if the rubber mats are placed on TOP of the original lexus carpets. I wanted to purchase them but was told that you could not place them on top of the carpets.
If they are on top of the carpets, any problems moving your seats
Thanks

Let me know what you think of the Lexus mats - I'd like your opinion as I might change my weathertech ones if you think the Lexus ones are really good... too bad the weather where we live requires them!
