Default New All Weather Floor Mats coming soon

I searched for it and didn't find another thread, so I thought you guys would be interested. I was browsing through the TIS and saw this update yesterday:


I called my parts guy to order me a set, but I was told it can't be ordered today, at least, through my service department.

I saw a set on Sewells the other day. They only had the AWD model when I tried to purchase them. Can't wait for these to come out.

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2011/4669.html $79 with the clublexus discount.

Sweet! I'm hoping they aren't thin like the post-recall ones.

I'll wait for a member to give a review first before jumping on to this.

hows the weathertech quality?... my "recalled" oem mats are bad. I am pretty sure most people would agree with that.

Try using pressure washer instead of driveway hose... or if you don't have one, just go by a coin-operated carwash and throw them a buck in quarters. No experience with these mats in particular, but I haven't seen a mat that doesn't clean fast with a pressure wand (unless it's light colored and has stains and such).

I like them, the black weather tech really matched the black interior.
The fit is real nice too (I've had friends who had older weathertech mats in other cars and did not like the fit).

Super easy to lift out & clean with very very little getting to the base carpet (unlike flat mats where you still have to vacuum the base carpet).

So they work real well for me. I use them when needed, and other times when its dry out I use the OEM mats.

- thanks for your input! It is definitely more valuable to have an user review than to trust the pictures online. I definitely have weathertech on my mind for my next floor mat purchase. I can't wait until I replace my "flat" "recalled" oem mat. lol
