Weathertech is a great company. I have purchased from them in the past and also did work with them in a previous field. They are out of IL not to far from where I live.

Like Javier said the parts Weathertech has are more generic although they fit many cars. They are not molded or shaped specifically for our car. Its all about preference on the look at this point. Both are going to be the same to install. The double sided tape is a lot easier then most would think to apply and also take off as Javier has unfortunately had to do a few times.

I am sure both are great and reliable products. I can personally vouch for Weathertech.

Why dont you get the "JDM" ones on eGay for $40 shipped. I have them installed and the rears fit perfect except the fronts. The front doesn't line up perfectly next to the side mirrors. It's just a lil off. I personally like them.

Well that's because we drive a Lexus and like you said, the front doesn't fit. Thats why.

both weathertech and the lexus jdm ones do the same thing...but the lexus ones fit sooo perfect and look soo much cleaner, if you got the extra 250 to spend then get the jdm ones.

lol ur statement makes no sense. You put down where bought them from, say they dont fit properly, yet you recommend them? Did you really think the $40 knock off ones were going to be the same quality as the JDM Lexus ones? Like 2slow said, we drive Lexus' man....

I'm getting them because I smoke and also they do look sharp in some angles.
