Default all-season floor mats *AWD*

Hey gents 'n ladies:

just curious, i've been doing some searching and i'm seeing some mixed feedback on whether there are OEM all-season mats available for the 'o9 is250? called the dealer, and they said they don't sell them. saw some action on the fact that they were part of the "infamous" recall? New to the lexus game -- my Acura's all-season mats were readily available just about everywhere. I'm also the kind of guy that refuses to go aftermarket for that type of thing. I'll stick with carpet mats if i have to

Anyway, are they avail, and if so.. WHERE!?

Thanks!

Those are just the fronts, I'm not sure why they don't come with the rears.

A lot of people on here seem to recommend WeatherTech mats. Those are what my dealer sold me, and they seem to be very high quality.

at the moment, dealers cannot get 4-piece sets of awfm's due to the recall. owners who already have a set of awfm's before the recall are advised to go into the dealership and switch their two fronts to those advertised on sewell as part of the campaign.

since no one can get a 4-piece set right now, im assuming sewell is putting up the two "campaign" mats as an alternative.

I ordered my all weather floor mats from sewell and I am very pleased with them! I never have people in my back seat of my car so I didn't want all 4. I saw where my lexus dealership had all 4 for sale for $190!!! thats outrageous! I spend 60 somethin and got the mats from sewell where they have ur model painted on the mats and they look really nice. Think to urself...do you really need them for the rear? I didn't.

^AWD has a hump where the driver's right leg is for the differential. RWD doesn't have the hump.

this is the answer i was looking for - wasn't sure if the Sewell ones were the "new" versions that weren't affected by the recall. I'll settle with the 2... it's only 2 of us in the car at any one time most of the time anyway.

Thanks guys! Another Sewell order being placed.. already got the spoiler coming!

60 dollars for 2 floormats is still pretty ridiculous ! my car came with 4 carpet floor mats and 4 rubber mats, I wouldn't pay anything near what they charge for them though.

60 is nothing considering what they would be saving me in terms of salt and other winterness on my floors/carpet.

I have the weather tech mats and love it. I heard the dealer mats are cheap in quality and wear quickly...
