stupid question, but for the WeatherTech mats/liners will the ES350 liners be the same exact fit as the ES300h? I ask because AutoAccessoriesGarage.com has the DigitalFit liners for $187 minus a 10% discount with free shipping, so in essense one would save $18 over what WeatherTech would sell it for (they sell the complete set for $169 but with $18 shipping). But they sell it for the ES350, not the ES300h.

thanks...another stupid question: so on our 300h we have the black leather interior and seats. My wife likes the WeatherTech DigitalFit liners - but she had the idea of either having tan or gray liners instead of black liners. Does anyone have any opinion of that? I personally think it would look awful. Opinions please!

I have tan in my old RX with a tan interior, grey in my GS with a grey interior, and now black in my ES with the parchment interior. They all show dirt and scuff marks. I think the grey shows the least, but it also is showing wear. That is why we have the mats instead of having nothing.

Wasjr,
do you have retention clips on rear side in your es300h? if yes, how did you install your mats? just lay it over regular lexus carpet mats?
I received my weather tech mats, but it does not have retention clips on rear while my es300h does.

You may not be able to see this very well but here is a picture of the WeatherTech DigitalFit rear mat:

Was doing a bit more research into Cocomats as previously posted. While sisal fiber mats are available, the original and most popular product is woven from Coir, a fiber extracted and spun from coconut husks.
I'm considering a dark blue mat with dots of "natural" color to complement Deep Sea Mica and parchment coloration. The OEM light colored Lexus mats won't look good for long.

wow didn't notice that the rear mats had a retention clip. I guess that's a show stopper for the liners. For those who have it for the ES, do you just lay it over the clip? Seems like you'd see a bump.

i just layed over floorliners on rear side over regular carpet mats to get even finish, or else bump will crack floorliners overtime.

so just to be clear, for the rear, you overlaid the floorliners over the regular carpet mats. Was it still a perfect fit and were the mats the original mats that came with the car?

yes, it looks perfect fit, of course one less carpet it will be sleek and more perfect looking.. problem is that weather tech does not make any rear fit with retention fits yet.

Sorry for the late response, have been swamped and have not checked in. As mentioned, no retention clips on mats. I had not even noticed this issue until I read this thread last night. The WeatherTech mats fit very snug all around without the carpet mats. I will check the difference with the carpet mats this weekend. The back seat is rarely used, so this is probably not an issue for us.

Anyone notice any better noise insulation with the rubber mats? I will remove my carpet mat on the drivers side and hook it into clip so it does not cause a problem with the brake, etc. but figured I would just put the new OEM rubber mats over the OEM carpeted mats on the driver side and back, should not move around plus the extra carpeted mat should provide addl. sound deadening. Thoughts? Your experience?
