All Season Floor mats?
Just picked up an 06 RX330. Excellent car for the weather we get here in the GTA, and much more luxurious compared to other prestige brands from Japan.
Anyway, my first question is: I bought a set of all season floor mats from the dealership, but apparently, the ones for the RX was on backordered, so they gave me a set for the ES330 without informing me. i noticed the fitment was poor, so I called the dealership and they said it was a common thing that they do, since the mats were almost identical. However, I don't like the fitment of these mats, but i haven't see the actual product in the car. Should i return them and buy a set off ebay instead? Anyone have a good pic showing the fitment? Thanks!!!

I ordered All Season Floor mats and was told they were on back order as well. They didn’t offer me mats from the ES but let me tell you during bad weather the light color floor mats can get dirty quick. I’d ask them to put the RX mats on order for you and tell them you will swap them out when the come in.

yea, our RX is white with ivory interior, so it is imperative for me to get the all season mats that fits.
We are currently using generic floor mats but due to the relatively large footwell space in the RX, a lot of carpeting is still exposed....

Get a set of WeatherTech all season rubber mat for your car. I put a set of WeatherTech Floor Liner in my wife's RX400h before driving to Toronto in late November, which the first winter storm hits. Fit and finish is close to perfect for front seats, and covers large enough area for the rear. Yes it's kind of $$$ but if you live in an area with increment weather most of the time of the year, it's worth every single $.

Weathertech
I ordered the "Advantage" carpeted Weathertech mats for the front and the fit is perfect . Our interior is gray and the color of the carpet on the mat is a darker gray so the match isn't perfiect but it complements the interior nicely and does not look out of place. IMO the carpeted look although a different shade of gray looks much better than a rubber mat that won't match exactly either. I am in the South so snow issues are not an issue which might prompt one to purchase the all rubber product as it holds more melted snow.
In the rear I went with the one piece tray Weathertech as they do not make the "Advantage" series for the rear. The tray is a mat gray and not a "shiny" cheaper look like some others I have seen (Husky) for example. The two piece lock together rear mats IMO do not cover enough of the floor to make them kid proof. The one piece tray accomodates the sliding console nicely and lock into place just as the fronts do.

Picked mine up here and they are a perfect fit ... factory fit ... available in black or brown ... I have the gray which they no longer make.

Hey Dan welcome to Club Lexus!
I would suggest just going to Costco or Canadian Tire to pick up a set of 4 Michelin winter mats. The fitament may not be totally correct but the design will keep water off of your carpets. Costco has a set of 4 for $28 I believe. (Which is a steal)
