I'll try to snap a photo later today. In a nutshell, I don't like them. They are not as nice as those for my 2004 RX.
Toyota, in their quest to avoid any future stuck gas pedal problems have made the all weather mats so small and thin as to be better called rain mats. If you drive in snow zones they are worthless at protecting your carpeting. The area under the gas pedal is totally uncovered. The mats are so thin as to not be able to keep melting snow from leaking into the carpeting.
I am considering WeatherTech before next winter.

The stock photos are about what you get. Ours are usually dirty all Winter.
We have both styles. The OEM mats with the car have deeper profile with many small wells to contain melted snow.
The lighter OEM style are OK for later on in the year but don't cut it for a Winter climate.Basically just a rubber mat with the logo.
I just put the carpet mats back in this weekend & it's snowing again!

No, I don't play soccer!
I've used Lloyd RubberTites in the RX for the past 10+ years. They're thin but heavy and show no wear whatsoever. It's a solid alternative if you don't like the WeatherTechs or Husky Liners. All three BTW, can be purchased from CL vendor, XenonDepot (aka KB Car Stuff linked above).

Thanks for the info on this thread, I was wondering the same thing, but was leaning towards the WeatherTech All-Weather Mats and just ordered them:
http://www.weathertech.com/lexus/201...s-all-weather/
The site lists Front & Rear for $99, BUT if you are a AAA member, call in and mention it and get an additional 5% off...!
I will update this thread on my impressions of them, when I get them (in about a week)...

Can't go wrong with http://www.huskyliners.com/search. Just my 2 cents.

I have the Weathertech FloorLiner DigitalFit which protects the floor very well, but they are smooth and slippery and any water on them could wick up onto a pants leg. They are good for winter or mud but I think the All-Weather may be better longer term.

I have the WeatherTech all-weather ones as well but I do not like them as much as the digital fit ones. The all-weather do have more traction but they do not seem to be able to hold a spill as well as the digital fit. Also, the all-weather mats for the second row seats comes as two pieces, one per half of the car. The digital fit mat is one piece which seems much better because I always find the all-weather mat moved, sometimes pushed partially under the rear front seat after anyone has sat in the rear seat. The digital cargo cover is nice. I've had a spill in there before and it contained it nicely. Plus it also has pretty good grip, enough for my stuff to not slide around.

The best part of the "all weather" mats are the deep groves. If you live in an area of slush and snow like I do the deep groves are important for keeping your pant legs out of the water and dry.
I would think the type of mat you get it dependent on the type of weather you get in your area.

These are the OEM, 2013 RX all-weather mats which come as standard equipment in addition to the carpeted mats, in Canada. Not sure if the US-ones offered today are similar to these or like vince22 posted.
As you can see, they're OK coverage-wise and since I got them free, I can't complain, but certainly not as protecting as the aftermarket ones as suggested above.
