Default NEW All Weather Floor Mats

I was just browsing the Sewell parts and I saw this one http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2011/4690.html
Finally they were able to put a new design. Now for another upgrade

Thanks for posting. I actually like this color. My interior is parchment. I'm thinking of getting it. I'm curious how many RX owners have a black all weather mat with light interiors.

Boo, the rear is two pieces. I would have considered it for a second set to my Lloyd's. I'm not sure about 'light weight.' Lexus mats are pretty heavy. They look nice though.

I got my floor mats from weathertech, I didn't like the 2 piece rear mat too but I love how they added cover for the foot rest on driver's side that lexus' floor mats don't have..

I purchased the WeatherTech DigitalFit mats for front, rear and cargo. See my post with pics in CL at https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6159560-post58.html

FYI, the rear set of the Canadian version (Lexus all-weather mat) comes in one piece which covers the middle of the carpet.

However, just like the one I have with my IS, the Canadian ones look great and soft but I don't have confidence in the salt/slush holding capacity as the grooves are not deep enough. So I bought the US version of the all weather mat for the IS and I have been using it exclusively for winters and can't be happier.

Now, from the picture of the US one for the RX, it looks to me the grooves are not as deep as the ones for the IS.

Has anyone bought the US Lexus all weather mats and can show a picture? Besides, is the mat made of harder material, say when compared to the traditional version offered by Weather Tech?

Thanks

Thanks for the pictures! They look great. .

However, the grooves are not deep enough for snows. If the front and rear have had grooves as deep as the trunk all-weather mat (the first picture), then it is better.

I got my all weather mats from HuskyLiners I like them because they have a lip all the way around to prevent leakage - you could probably spill a gallon of milk and have no issues. I also like them because the cover the area under the gas pedal and the foot rest on the drivers side. I also got the mat for the luggage area as well.

That sounds like a good protection. They also look kind of heavy duty too.

Questions: Did you install them on top of your current Lexus floor mats or you have to take them out? Do you have any pics to share?

Just fyi, I can install the Canadian all-weather mat for the floor over the Lexus carpet mats without problems. However, there are a lot of labels on the all-weather mat as well as a sticker that suggests customers not to install over the carpet mats due to safety concerns.

We got the HuskyLiners as well - so far they are working well. We removed our OEM mats ...

Your comment is well understood. However, this is our first time owning a Toyota product. Since we did not own a Toyota we did not really pay close attention to the news in the past years.

No worry. You are now off the hook...
