floor mats and cargo protector
Who has the best fitting, nicest looking floor mats and matching cargo area protector?
What works for you guys- vinyl or carpet?
Where did you get them- who has best deals?
I was looking at AutoAnything, JCWhitney, WeatherTech- who else offers a nice product?

I went with Weathertech all weather floor mats and the Lexus part rubber cargo mat.
I like the rubber over the hard plastic type cargo mat I had in my last RX.
I like the Lexus logo too.
The pic has the cargo mat looking like the center is up a bit and not flat.The pic was taken after the install and the mat is flat down now.

cargo mat
Nice fit and looks good.
is that cargo mat one piece or two?
does it have a lip around the perimeter to contain spills?
is that a Lexus dealer part? Or aftermarket from somebody else?
what did you pay?

I did the same as another poster:
1. Weathertech all weather mats in front and back seats. Did a little searching on 'net. Saw lots of people mentioning Weathertech. Expensive. Went to Lexus dealership to look at Lexus mats. Parts guy tells me everybody is foregoing Lexus mats and putting in weathertech. Ordered them. Fit like a glove and that's important for winter driving with snow and subzero temps. They tuck up nicely under pedals and it's a snug fit with door frame. They're one piece molded black plastic and I saw some people worried they might look cheap - the answer is they look no cheaper than any rubber mat including the lexus mat. Only diff is no lexus logo.
With lexus mats (and other 3rd party mats) it'd be easy for snow to get between door and mat and it's difficult to get out with subzero temps. Risk is salt stains and mildew in carpet - hence stinky car. I'll take them out when winter's over and put my carpet mats back in.
2. got lexus mat for cargo because it's cheaper than weathertech, and fit is less imporant back there, at least for me. The fit is good, just not as snug, but don't have the issue of snow and water from boots getting on the carpet like I do with the seats. (I turn my cargo carpet over anyway).
