I THINK these are the new ones that came out awhile ago?

Does anyone have them or have experience with them or is the "thin rubber/wear and tear" thing still going on?

Also please don't advertise weather-tech mats since I want those to be my last resort. I like how the oem mats look :s

I've had them for about a month now. I like them, many of my passengers like them. It feels thick and durable, doesn't move around. I'll post pics after I get off from work. Time now is 12:00pm Hawaii time, so porbably around 5ish.

lexus all weather mats are designed for lexus owners for sure. they are cheap in quality, high in price, and worth about as much as an autozone mat. i would know; i was a sucker and had 4 sets. It's too bad you wont entertain weather tech. Also the new redesign of lexus mat is thinner than the 1st gen of rubber mats. i had some i bought recently, and they were in the trash in 4 months and i live in florida and wear tennis shoes and flip flops. You ask for opinion, I RECOMMEND AGAINST LEXUS mats, unless they were willing to remake the 1st gen style for 3/4 of the price. but since we know that won't happen, the other brand for me.

DryEye - Thanks man!

s64rings - Wait these are the 2nd gens? I thought these were the 3rd gens...err... They look similar to the Canadian style too! Well like I said, Weathertechs are an option but last in line!

The new mats are still paper-thin... I think I posted some pics in an earler thread about the "Redesigned Weather Mats a month or 2 ago" These are the 3rd gens I'm talking about... it's still bad.

I would stay far away even if they claimed it was redesigned with durable material. I doubt it...
