I just saw there was a 10 mil lawsuit over unintended acceleration Lexus ponied up, no details even the settlement was supposed to be hushed. Hopefully something will give. Hard to believe such an expensive line of cars can't even provide you the means to take care of your carpet. I might just try a few boneyards.

I have the Lexus rubber mats and they work pretty well. I found them on ebay for a pretty reasonable price. They don't cover the dead peddle very wellor the eges, but they hold in the H2O from snow and rain pretty well. I kinda wondered if the weather tech ones would have been better because I have younger kids in the back and I would love a piece that covered the rear hump in the back seat. My kids love to stand on it with dirty shoes on the light carpet.

I have the WeatherTech AllWeather mats in the rear and they only cover the footwells, not the top of the transmission tunnel. I have the WeatherTech FloorLiners for my Subaru and the rear seat mat does cover the hump. They are the best winter mats I've had in any car. However, FloorLiners aren't available for the LS430.

Just received my WeatherTechs.
Fitment is ok. Few areas that could be updated a bit. One being the dead pedal area. The mat is about 1" too wide... Maybe they did this on purpose... who knows?
Here are some pics.

That looks pretty good. Decent color match also.

Those are the same type of mats I had in my CTS. They're semi-custom and only sorta-fit. The LS is a fairly low-volume car that that has traditionally been purchased by older folks, so I suspect there hasn't been a strong market for aftermarket accessories.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I found a front set of black Lexus OEM All weather mats for sale on Ebay for a decent price they are 07-11 but from what I understand they will fit the 04-06 also (search this forum). I thought someone could use them since they're hard to find.
