Default Wrong floor mats?

So I was cleaning my GS and I noticed that the floor mat doesn't reach the second anchor. Is this normal?

That's an AWD GS floor mat in a RWD GS. Definitely not a match.

Haha what the heck! lol
Where can I find RWD GS floor mats? I was thinking of just getting some Weathertech floor mats.

There's some in the classified forum. Double check that they're for RWD.

Weather tech is a better alternative to better protect the carpet.

He didn't buy the car (new or CPO) from a Lexus dealership. The wrong floor mats is definitely a big no-no...especially for the driver's position.

Truth. My 07' Tundra went through that BS accelerator pedal debauchery and aftermarket this and that understuffing the pedal. Toyota (i.e. Lexus) certainly knows better. This had to be a non-cert purchase....

I'll contact my sales guy tomorrow and see what he says.

He will most definitely give you the right mat(s) for your model. That was a major mistake...considering what has happened in the past with the floor mat/stuck accelerator pedal fiasco.

Actually I once had rubber mats on the top of the regular mats and on picking my car back from the Park Place dealership the SA handed over a brochure to me telling how important it is for the driver floor mat to be properly fixed. This is just plain stupidity on the dealership part (Stupidity was on the part of dealership giving the OP the wrong floor mats which don't clip on on a CPO car).

My sales guys just called me and told me that he ordered the right floor mats for my car. Should be in a few days. Whooohooo!
