Bob, There are several threads here with pictures of different mats. I ended up with Weathertech digital liners(Get them from an aftermarket co. like 'Autoanything', not Weathertech,aka MacNeil). They cover well but the color.....I debated for quite awhile on that (I have parchment int.). I ended up with the grey, but I'm not sure that was the right choice. A dark brown, like the dash would've been perfect, but they don't make it. I thought the black was just too dark, and the tan was too far off from the parchment, so I went grey. In some lighting, the grey looks like a great match for the brown dash, but other times it is just plain old different.....Oh well. I think I probably would've been happier with the tan?!?! Happy picking.

I second the motion that Weathertech digital mats are great; I've never seen a better after-market fitment. I did order direct from the factory's online site and had zero problems. In the past, when I've ordered items from resellers like AutoEverything, I get their spam emails for months afterwards - some of which are hard to turn off. And since there isn't much price break, easier just to order from the source. Went with black since our 450h is black over black. Had previous Lexus vehicles with lighter color interiors and IMO they were a lot harder to keep clean.

the parchment on the 450h is almost beautiful enough to sway me to get the light interior even though the cleaning will drive me crazy. I love how they use the two tone parchment and black so it stands out. However, the parchment on the RX350 is nothing special, and I would just get black because contrary to what other people say, is easier to keep clean.

since there are arguments for both sides, I guess it really comes down to how it looks to you.

I'm really leaning toward the black interior. Been to showroom really looking at both parchment and black, and, have to say, I'm lovin' the black! Really appreciate all the opinions here. It has been very helpful!
