Default Does Lexus make Premium mats for the GS?

It seems as if I can find Lexus premium carpet mats for every model but the GS and IS. Are these upgraded mats available on the GS?

from where I can see, no... in your siggy it says 02 lexus GS430, either wrong section or you just got a 06+! =]

I dont believe they do have the premium floormats for our cars, i know they have the weathermats though, from lexus... But there was also a recall on it i think

The GS only has 2 sets. Either Lexus or FSport but they are the same mats. What are you looking for?

Do all GS models come with 4 rubber floor mats (front and rear)?

Actually they are not available for the GS. I have seen them for the LS and a loaded HS250h I drove around at the press event last year.

There are 3 versions of floormats for the GS: OEM, F-Sport and All Weather.

If I recall correctly this option is available in Japan for the GS, but because of the footwell configuration for right hand drive, only the rear mats will work.

Thanks for all the replies. I find it odd that Lexus would offer them for the HS, but not the GS, however, this seems to be the case. For those who asked what the differences are, the premium mats have 4 times as much carpet fibers (very soft and thick), are stain treated to resist stains and come with aluminum Lexus emblems.

We do still have the 02 GS430 which is what I would be putting them in. From what I have seen, the floor pans and mats seem to be of a very similar shape and therefore pretty much interchangeable as far as I'm concerned. Oh well, hopefully Lexus will offer them next year.

Its surprising that my crappy floor mats wore out in less than 6 months. My infiniti mattes lasted more than 5 years and still were fine. Lexus is going WAY cheap on the floor mats. This is one area that Lexus could learn a thing from the other manufacturers. Dont cut corners on anything that customers come into direct repeated contact with. I thought that was common sense for a luxury car manufacturer. Guess not for Lexus. I was blown away at how cheap the floor mats were. I had to get the plastic clear covers for them but I shouldnt have to
