I told the saleman that it doesn't look right but he said that's what the part dept gave him

I got all weather mats from Lexus too when I signed, and they ahve been a godsend. I work in a construction site too and wish I could keep my car from being dusty all the time, I even thought about a car cover.

i ended up gettint the clear exactmats off of ebay. it's a good fit, however, the fronts are a lot longer than the carpet floor mats. my clutch actually picked up the floor mat and got stuck underneath it while i was driving! luckily i was on the street n quickly pulled over to find out what was going on. it was pretty scary not being able to brake.

when i got my 250 the dealer gave me both carpet and rubber. the rubber is sitting on top of my carpet mats, and because of the hooks they never move. recomended 110%
