Default RX300 Mats

I'm looking to buy Lexus All Weather Mats.... rear and front.
Does anyone know where I can get these at a reasonable price? I really want the Lexus brand mats. If these dont exist can someone recommend something similar?

afx,

Welcome to ClubLexus...The Lexus all-weather floormats do exist.

Take a look at:

http://www.irontoad.com

and

http://www.lexus-parts.com

...or get the part numbers from either of these sites and
take a few minutes ro call your local Toyota dealer. Their
parts desk may be able to get them for you even cheaper.

Good luck.

I've had mine for about a year now; VERY SATISFIED. Perfect fit. Worth the extra money.

I ordered them from the same place as soon as you told me. Though this isn't my car, it's my mom's rx300. I have a Acura RSX and just bought mats for it also. I hope the Lexus mats are as good as the Acura ones.

Default Bought'em...Installed'em

I received these yesterday and installed them today...The front mats are exactly the same size as the OEM carpet mats. The directions state to remove the carpet mats and install these. Nonsense! The carpet mats offer more sound isulation. I shampooed the OEM mats and let them dry, vacuumed the front floors, replaced the OEM mats and installed the new A/W mats. Even with the OEM carpet mats there, the retention clip on the driver's side still fits through both mats. Perfect fit and the color matches the trim OK...Beautiful. $73 shipped from Iron Toad

The rear mats(2) are smaller, but fit nicely, too. They snug up under the front seats.

Pics to follow. Here's the Ad picture:

Front Passenger side. If you look closely, you can see the OEM carpet mats peeking out from under the front rubber mats.

Default Cargo-area all-weather mat

Has anyone purchased an all-weather mat for the cargo area? Lexus apparently doesn't make one.

I've always used Weathertech mats for the winter months, but I'll probably order the Lexus ones for mine too, they're actually a little cheaper. Do they come in Black?

That seems like a disclaimer ... in case the mat is not hooked in, it might buch up under the brake or on top of the acc. pedal.

salimshah,

stuff deleted?

You didn't quote my entire paragraph...

"Even with the OEM carpet mats there, the retention clip on the driver's side still fits through both mats. "

Please note the first picture of the driver's side that I attached shows the retention clip in the hole of the mat. These mats also are studded on the bottom for grip, as are the OEM carpet mats.

Here's a close-up of that shot.
