Default Brown Floor Mats???

I can't find brown floor mats for my '05 LS430? I have the cashmere interior and think the dark brown would look a lot better. Any suggestions?

lots of choices there. new gray mats on ebay for about$50 the cashmere one are impossible to keep clean. they sell some color called taupe that will match dash, not the carpet. or go weathertech. your choice and amount to spend is only decision. I would avoid buying used mats, I did that and wasted $50.

I guess brown is not available anymore? I was reading earlier threads and the brown really looked good. Oh, well, taupe it is...

If you must have brown, consider the mats for LS460 in brown. There is a thread that says the 460 mats fit virtually the same as 430 mats.

I also have casmere and I get what u are thinking with the brown mats...might be a rich look.....and wouldnt show dirt. I went with a pretty deep charcoal grey rubber mat. I am a neat freak and the carpet mats always make me paranoid that I have grease on my shoes or whatever. Take a look at grey rubber.....it matches the trim color of our interior and blends in pretty well. Not to mention you can hust hose them off.

Ya know....its not really the brand....its the look......I think mine were from costco.....its hard to explain but for our cars u dont want to loose the classy appearance.......and u dont want it to look like a pick up truck inside......so the trick is to find a rubber mat with a pattern that flows with the car......I will send u a pic....

Yes sir.....But I have owned these mats prior to owning the car......so I am not sure if this is the current brand costco is carrying....but I am almost positive they were from costco. I think the weather tech mats look great too......its that same grey.....someone has pics posted of them in the photo gallery section

Do the weather tech mats of the LS460(the aligned kind) fit perfectly on the LS430?

Check their website. They sell mats specifically cut for the LS430. I bought a front set (black) that look great. They also have a tan color.

That is incorrect. They do not make the floor liner digital fit for the LS430. They only make it for the LS460.

They do have floor mats that fit the LS430, but they are bulky.


^^Hence my question.
