Default Cashmere Interior Owners - What Color Mats?

Hi folks,
I was wondering if any of you replaced your Mats with a color other than Cashmere? If so what color do you have? I am considering going with brown, the cashmere just gets beat up to fast. Thanks.

I have had both and agree that the cashmere gets dirty quick. I most recently bought the brown color. I think it looks fine and matches the top of the dash.

Brown for sure. Tee posted pics of his in his first 460 build thread with that combo. Looks perfect. Search for that thread..if you wait long enough, he probably will post a pic in this thread lol

I was getting tied of the matching floor mats showing dirt just looking at them, so I swapped out the cashmere for the brown and it looks great while matching the dash! Lexus should have went with the brown over the cashmere because it hides dirt better.

I tried the gray, but it was not dark enough. Considering the very dark gray available only in the premier mats on sewellparts. Dark brown not bad, but for me the gray is more appropriate because of the gray dash and window surrounds.

You can always buy the plastic clear mats that custom made for LS460 and put on top of the existing mats. I found one on eBay was made for LS600H for like 36 bucks including shipping and they fit perfect.. Easy to clean too..

dude I would stick with the original color. That looks like someone stole a matt at a car wash and tossed in your Lexus. I say hell NO!!

I have cashmere with the clear exact matts from Lexus. Work the best and the interior looks original.

Getting a set of these exact mats now!

I am ready to get rid of my deep-ridged "winter" set of mats for the nicer interior look, but light gray is a pain to keep clean!

I think the contrast the brown brings is better than a stock match.

Default Mats in Cashmere

Mine are the Lexus Brand in the Brown. Previous Lexus had the light ones (Parchment, I Think) and I had to clean them often. So far with the Brown I just vacuum them regularly.
