Default FYI...Pep Boys is selling a universal Weather Tech mat $49.00

Ya just a heads up. Its hard to find nice quality rubber mats for a luxury car. As far as I know Weather Tech doesnt make the laser cut mat for an 04 LS430 so I never had a set of Weather Techs. Well I just picked up a set of universal fit WTs......$49 bucks at Pep Boys. I like the option to custom cut the mats for perfect fit. They are a very soft grippy rubber....and best of all..no harmful fumes. I bought a nice brown color...very pleased.

I have these since last 4 or so years and I got them for much cheaper from sears sale/points.
Pretty good quality.

It looks like it's a different line than what they sell online. Not sure if that makes them any better or worse. I want to say the ones I bought were around $100.


This is the pattern on mine







I'm really happy with these as I couldn't find Lexus OEM ones. Usually the first thing I get when I buy a car is heavy duty rubber floor mats, but I can't stand cheap ones.

Roger that....ya your mats look nice but def not the same as what Pep Boys is selling .....My only complaint w the universal mats that Pep Boys is selling is that they are about 2" too narrow for a perfect fit exposing the edge of the carpeted mat. Why the heck would any MFR make a light tan floor mat? Impossible to keep clean. Mine will never see the light of day.

Here is the sears link http://www.sears.com/weathertech-bla...p-02866968000P


Right now they are $52.96

When I got them They were on sale for $31.49 and I got additional 5 bucks off with surprise points.
These things do go on sale but That is about the lowest this set goes.

Correction...I have it only for 2 years.

$100 bucks set posted in this thread definitely looks awesome.

I'll give my 2 cents regarding Weather Tech mats they offer direct.

I personally have the ones that BradTank posted a photo of, I believe they are called All-Weather Mats.
We purchased a set of DigitalFit mats for my girlfriend's Dad Suburban. The Digitalfit mats are really thin compared to the All-Weather ones. They seem to be made of a different material. Its very slippery on your feet and they tend to move around on top of the carpet a lot.

Where as the All-Weather are much heavier (and have more grip) and do not move under your feet.

I hate the way the DigitalFit feel compared to the All-Weather ones.
The DigitalFits do come up higher on the carpet therefore are more protective but Its not enough for me to want them. The All-Weather mats have channels/grooves that the dirt and water get trapped in.

I will only buy the All-Weather ones going forward.
Hope this helps others.
