Default Floormats: F Sport vs Stock?

So im in the market to buy some floormats for my is350....i recently bought it and it was a lease return...sadly they kept the floormats upon returning the car...

I went on sewells site and found the stock ones running $120, BUT also noticed they have some F Sport ones running cheaper (by $5). it says its made of the same material and so forth, but i havnt seen these in person myself. Anyone with any experience (or own) any F Sports?

Why would the F Sport ones run lower than the stocks?

No idea, but no one really notices it but you probably. Get the cheaper one, they both should be the same, minus that the OEM ones say "Lexus" and the F-Sport says "F-Sport". One of the mysteries like why the F-Sport shocks are cheaper than the Lexus Sport Shocks.

Floormats will and always be floormats. Just get whichever one is cheaper.
