Yeah the logos took so long to get here that I figured they had just been lost coming from China, the seller refunded my money and I was just going to skip the logos then all of a sudden one day they just showed up.

So I did an interesting mod.
I like thick, plush floor mats, especially in a car like this, however I also like the Lexus logo on the factory mats. I would have simply bought the very nice factory premium floor mats with the metal Lexus logo:
In looking around, I found metal Lexus emblems designed for floor mats sold in Asia, they were cheap and I figured, why not?
Took about 6 weeks to get here from China, but finally they arrived. I picked the right spot on the front mats, drilled 4 holes and mounted the emblems. IMHO they look great, you'd never know they weren't factory. The install of the emblems was a little hard because the luxe mats are so thick, the included screws are a little short, but its all done and looks good.
If you're looking to order, Lloyd has two blacks. "Black" and "Ebony". My mats are "Black", and they're a shade darker than the OEM carpet. Its not an issue for me, and shows up more in pictures, but if I had to do it over again I might have gotten the Ebony which is supposed to be a little lighter.

Please also post link for ordering the metal Lexus plates and screws. The screws appear long. Do they "stick up" and catch on your shoes etc.?

I haven't seen the Ebony in person...the black doesn't bother me at all, even if it is a little darker. I believe they will send you samples if you want to be sure, you can also google the colors and there are pics around.
I ordered the logo plates from AliExpress, if you google "Lexus floor mat emblem" options to purchase them will come up.
Here's a link:

The screws sit flush with the plate, nothing catches. They're not long with the luxe mats, if anything they're a little too short.

I placed an order last week because of this thread. My original mats are old and tired already. Also, thanks for posting where you got the plates. I was looking all over ebay and amazon and basically given up, until today! hA! thanks for sharing the idea, you're awesome!

No problem! The mats are really nice and the logo plates are a nice touch.

Maybe it's just me but I prefer not to have brand names all over everything. My license-plate frames are plain chrome and my WeatherTech floor mats would be plain, if I had that choice.

I have spent an hour on the phone with the folks at autoanything to order without success. The catch is Lloyd does not sell front and rear mats for this vehicle, only for a RWD model. The front mats for the AWD are different. If I try to order for a 2014 LS460 AWD, they only have a trunk mat not floor mats They don't have mats for the 2013 AWD either.
So, I checked and found out that the 2015 AWD front mats will fit my vehicle. I am thinking I will mix and match. Get the front mats for the 2015 LS460 AWD, and the rear mats from the 2014 LS460L RWD You with me??
BUT they (Autoanything and Lloyd) won't let me mix and match. So, I say, OK, I will buy 6 mats, the front set for the 2015 460 AWD and the four mat set for the 2014 460L RWD, and return for refund only the front mats from the 2014 set. They say, no way, can't do it
So, I am stuck with either getting only the front mats (2015 AWD) or no mats at all.
Any ideas? I can try another retailer, but I suspect this issue has to do more with Lloyd than the seller. I would like to order today because they have a 20% discount that ends tonight!

Same runaround at carid.com
It's a Lloyd problem. carid is checking whether they can custom order only the rear mats for the LWB.

That's crazy, they make mats for the AWD SWB but not the LWB? What about previous years of the 460 and then use the new anchors? They will all fit 07-16
Maybe try contacting Lloyd directly?

carid rep said they will see whether rear mats for the LWB can be special-ordered.
I cannot find a phone # for Lloyd on their website. Looks like one has to deal with one of their retailers.
