Default All-weather floor mats for 2008?

Bought a 2008 LX570 about a week ago and it did not have floor mats for the front seats. Have checked with multiple dealerships/ sources and even placed an order with a company (LexusPartsNow) that needed more than a week to realize that the all-weather mats for this car are no longer offered.

Anyone know where they can be found? Would consider doing carpet but would want them to be black which it sounds like is not an option. I have the tan interior and if I get tan mats they will just get destroyed.

Is Weathertech the only good option? Any advice much appreciated.

Not sure if Weathertech is your only option but I have never been disappointed and use their digital liners in all of my vehicles.

If you want oem all weather mats they are on ebay.
We also have weathertech, regular all weather for most times and the digital liners for messy weather. They fit/work very well.

Can't beat the sound absorption of regular old carpet mats although I appreciate the easier to clean aspect.

I would be curious to see the difference - It would probably be small but there.

Googling as this piqued my curiousity:

BTW, the vehicle should have had floor mats, have you asked the dealer to get them for you? You should be able to get something from them regardless of their current availability.

Ordered them from someone on ebay, only to get the same message again several days later that they can no longer get them. Ordered them again from another listing on ebay with a dealer in Cali and it seems they have finally shipped. Only took 4 attempts.

As for the mats not coming with vehicle, it had the trunk mat and the rear sat mat, just no front mats. I wont deal with carpet mats anymore, so it is somewhat a moot point. Got a great deal on the car, so really can't complain... 2008, 1-owner Texas vehicle, 95K miles, clean carfax, no mechanical issues (got it fully inspected by a Toyota dealership) for $27.8K.

I'd also check Husky.
