Thumbs up ExactMats (Recommended!)

First off,
I'd like to start off saying that I am NOT trying to advertise for them, I got these mats back in January, and let me say. They fit PERFECTLY and are easy to clean!
Best thing is, they're clear!

Here are some pictures below of them in my 14' IS350.
They are a pretty small company, but they ship very fast! (For me at least.)
They are located in Houston, TX I believe and the closer you are the faster you get them and i'm about 4-5 hours away from Houston so I got it in about 3 days.

Anyone else have ExactMats?
If so, how do you like yours?

Btw, I have the front & rear mats which cost me about $89.50 + tax obviously

Lexus Highly recommends that you don't put any floor mats on top of factory floor mats. Remember the stuck gas pedals.

How will it stuck the gas pedal if it's under the gas pedal? Strange.

honestly at that price I'd rather have the OEM all weather mats. Clear mats make the car look cheap

That's what Toyota was asking also before the excrement hit the fan a few years ago.

I have similar clear mat on mine. They will last a lot longer than All Weather rubber mat from Lexus. The only con is it will slide around.

Bear in mind too that the Toyota/Lexus issue with mats was with top hinged pedals, not bottom hinged pedals.

Toyota had a recall on floor mats and having floor mats properly installed on all of their cars. If you ever take your lexus to get serviced they check if floor mats are properly installed every time. It is even recorded on your receipt.

Take the extra money an invest into floor mats utilizing the lock near your car seats, it is dangerous to use those cheap clear covers...

I don't buy the dangerous bit,...especially with the floor hinged pedal.

I've had many cars with mats that had no anchors and survived.

Sterling McCall gave me these mats for free when I bought my car. They ended up sitting in my storage altogether. It looks super ugly imo. I don't really know how it perform (hopefully it performs as well as you said), but man, it just doesn't look right in my car. :-)

Mats are made to get dirty so you can protect your carpet, lol. Its like I don't want my clear bra to get rock chip, so let me put another clear bra on top of that.

Clear mats are easier to clean. If you have liquid spills you can just rinse off, try doing that to carpet mat.
I've had these for years even on 2IS with top hinge pedal no problem. The ones that got stuck on pedals were thick rubber mats. People are going out of proportion with stuck pedals.

$14 at Costco for 4 mats, ghetto? probably. Keeps dirt and and possibly spilled liquids off the floor? yep.

Removed original mats.
