Default Weathertechs are out now

Just ordered mine on Friday. I know, not the most exciting mod haha. They have them for AWD and RWD.

Just used your link posted, also went directly to Weathertech site - the Digital fit only available for AWD... You did not click on the 'option' as it only shows 'yes' for AWD. Maybe soon to follow...

Got it, didn't realize RWD wasn't an option in the drop down. I contacted Weathertech a couple of weeks ago and they weren't available for 2014 at all. So if someone with a RWD is interested, let them know and they'll probably make them.

I did - and they were very non committal as to when they (RWD) would be available. I have always been a fan of their product - a bit pricey - but they do fit nice and wear well. I picked-up the Lexus all-weather mat for the time being. I would also like to see Weathertech have a a trunk / cargo liner for the IS model.

I just put them in today. The fit is perfect as if from the factory.

Looks like a really great fit, and I like how they partially cover the "hump." I replaced the factory carpet mats with the Lexus IS rubber mats. While the Lexus OEM rubber mats are good, the WeatherTech mats appear to be better.

What's the difference in the awd and rwd interior that they won't fit both?

A great looking and lasting alternative to weathertech can be found at cocomats.com. Granted, they are more expensive, but can be used year round, are easy to care for, and look great after 14 years (have them in my '99 RX 300).

Hi splat, not sure what the difference is, but I suspect the hump in my floor is due to the differential or VC for the AWD. I've never sat in a RWD model, maybe someone can post a shot of their RWD interior?

Bingo, the hump is only on the AWD.

How do the Lexus all weather mats compare to these for RWD? Any have them could comment on whether they are worth getting vs. the other non-Weathertech options for RWD models?

Also is there any downside to using all weather mats for all seasons?
It seems that they are easier to maintain and clean than carpet ones.

Thanks
