Default Accessories after car purchase!

Hello ES Owners -

What are some of the best accessories you have purchased to enhance your car/driving experience ?

Other than the all weather car mats, anything else that is a must have?

Did you purchase anything to hold your mobile phone?

Best Regards,
Maya

Maya, I purchased some rubber floor mats (Lexus brand) for the winter, and actually like them enough to keep them installed all year round. I got a good price from a vendor on e-bay (don't remember the name but I think it's easy to find out) but you can also get through the dealer.

Congrats on your new car- you made a great choice!

Thanks all.

Mickey, thats right! A girl has to take driving 'selfies' ! may be future Lexus model will have built-in cameras from all angles!! Jokes aside, I ddnt find a comfortable place to dock my phone in the car or even place it. The dashboard or the glove compartment area should have been designed better.

I just keep my phone in the little tray in the center console, whether hooked up by Bluetooth or USB. I can do almost everything I need to do with it while driving from the nav.

and my phone goes in the center console or door pocket

also:

this did NOT fit my hybrid but should fit the 350. I've had these for several vehicles and they are great. contains a spill or sand/mud.

The link shows the mat for the ES 300h. I think it should work for you!

I had to return it. it was too big, and didn't fit. -JCWHITNEY paid for the return shipping since it was their mistake.

none of the cargo liner mfgs list one for the 300h.

I wish I could find one that fit the hybrid!

Default Trunk Mat

I got the rubber truck liner from WeatherTech. This is a standard purchase for me for any new car. Very practical!
