I would like to ask you guys your opinion. I live in MD where it snows, rains and everything else. Basically we get all types of weather. In the past I have always gotten all weather, but never really liked the look or feel.

Should I:

A) Buy all weather mats for use every winter (not really a fan of the rubberized look, but will protect the car if need be)

B) Buy new carpet replacement after 4 years or so (to get that clean look all over again)

Personally I'd choose option B. I don't like putting rubber mats in a luxury car. They were fine when I owned a pick-up truck. I drove my '09 for four years and through Colorado winters. The carpeted floor mats always looked fine, but it would be worth just paying for a new set of those every few years.

Personally I rather have the all weather mats becuase once it rains then you will see all the mud marks or dirt marks on mats i rather have easy to
Clean all weather mats which don't look bad at all looking at the pictures others posted on this thread.

Hi guys, has anyone installed a cargo liner on your IS? Please post some photos if you have one installed.

By the way, I checked Sewell Parts but seems like they don't carry it for the 2014 IS.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the photos! I just ordered Lexus all-weather mats for my IS as it seems like there's no other good aftermarket option at the moment...

I think the more southern folks have it good with the lack of significant snow and slushy winters .

Although I agree with the look of rubber mats is not suited to the IS, it is practical (and actually a must) to save your pants and not have drenched mats and salty water spilling into the car's floorpan. It's a necessary evil to have in the more northern parts of the US and Canada IMO.

Just use some vinyl shine like meguairs or autoglym on the mats.
It makes them look black instead og grey, and it suits the car a lot better.
