Default New All-Weather Mats?

Anyone seen these? Are they new? Looks like they re-designed them because of the recall..kinda expensive at $209

These look hideous compared to the current all weather mats.

Not true. My g/f's are on top of the carpet and it's not even close to blocking the gas pedal. As long as they are hooked in they don't move at all.

$209 is a rip off IMO. I think the current OEM one we bought were like $80. The current ones are crap though; I think majority of people with them got holes in them.

Any difference between the new one and the old ones? $200+ for floor mats is way over priced.

You're better off spending your money somewhere else or leaving it in your bank account.

i picked up a set of all-weather mats for my 2is, and neither do they look like the above pic nor do they block the gas pedal.

209 dollars seems a bit much for 4 pieces of rubber with the lexus logo on it

You need to tell your GF to take out the carpet mats...
