Default I need floor mats!!

Well...I've decided to get some all weather floor mats after seeing the condition that my carpet is in. I've got the cashmere interior and I can't seem to find any mats that are that color, just black ones. Any ideas?

I had the same concern as you, but decided to get the black Lexus floor mats after looking for other options (other brands, transparent mats, etc). I thought they were going to look out of place, but to my surprise, they actually look very good with the cashmere interior, as they match with the black on the dash, and it gives the interior a sportier look So, my recommendation to you is get the original Lexus all-weather mats and you won't have any regrets

I went thru the same thing. Those cashmere mats get dirty really quick. I went and bought some black mats from Sewell. Like Alex said, it works since it goes with the black on the dash, so it's not out of place. If you go to the vendor marketplace, I believe Sewell has a special going on right now for all floormats.

lexus oem comes in black only so far. you can go another route with carmats.com i think some other places do customization for perfect fitment.

all weather matts is a must. will keep your interior much cleaner and easy to clean. plus u can just take them out and hose it down. i do it once a week

Weathertech didn't make the AWD mats when I wanted them but they do now.
I wound up buying the Lexus all weather which are nice too.

I got the dealer to throw in the all weather mats since they could only locate my 3rd choice color, since Sterling carpets were black. I'm so glad I did.

I'm happy Weathertech didn't make the AWD mats when I inquired.I like the softer rubber of the Weathertech but the factory mat design with Lexus logo do look nicer.

Just get the clearmats from the dealer. They're see thru so it still shows the original carpet and logo. They're custom made to fit so look just like factory carpet. $59 only too.

try Lexus Exactmat, it is a clear mat. It keep the dirt away and you can still see your Lexus OEM mat. At the same time is perfectly fit since they sell it in Lexus dealer.

They're completely different. The shape of the mats are not the same. Make sure you get the right ones.

I just want to say that the lexus all wheel floor mats are made of really soft rubber material and that they're cool when new, but suck later on. In only a little over a year it's all cracked and worn down from where I pivot my heel. I got them to replace the mats free of charge though because it's been only about a year. I told him I spent over a hundred something bucks for these and they're already more worn out than my cheap costco all weather mats I bought for my other car that I've had on for 5 yrs.
