Just bought mine in gray, their digital fitted, and I like them a lot, front, back and hatch area.

Also, my black RX was ordered with Lt. gray interior w/ black carpet mats which really look sharp, and the black matches the dash color.

I ordered my Weather Tech in gray before I seen the black standard carpet mats,
The gray ones are OK, but sometimes I wish I ordered them in black.

I have them in tan front, back, and hatch area. I like them a lot. The 2 front ones also lock onto the Lexus mat hooks. They clean very easy.

Considering this is their third winter, the driver's side looks pretty good and the others look mint. The rear cargo one only comes out a couple times a year to clean under it.

I drag my left foot in, so I need to be careful not to catch the left edge of the mat and get debris between the mat and door sill. My problem, not the mat's. Mats fit nicely.

Certainly not cheap....but well made & fit perfect.

Big plus feature wise (to me) is the raised edges....helps keep the dirt from going off the side of the mat.
My kids always riding in the back really works the mats. Keeps the dirt on the mats well (which after all is the idea !)

Same here, that's one of the main reason why we decided to go with the Weathertech instead of the other brands or the OEM mats we can order from sewell.com. But as for the cargo area, instead of the Weathertech cargo tray, we decided to get the one OEM all weather cargo Mat. The OEM is two piece instead of one, so it makes it easier to access the little storage tray and seems to be working fine and fits well.

I have the WeatherTech's in my Subaru (I don't use my RX for any tough duty). They are well made and the fit is good. I only put them in when the weather is bad or I am taking the car in for service. Putting this much plastic in your car can really change (cheapen) the feel of the vehicle. Black is their best color.

In my predominantly light gray interior, I have black Weathertechs for the front and rear seat areas and light gray for the cargo area. Very classy, IMO and, more importantly, maintain the carpet in pristine condition. I also use a non-silicone based product, (Duragloss 321) to dress my floor & cargo liners everyother time I wash them. It helps return the factory "sheen".

I jsut replaced the Lexus OEM winter mats with the Weathertech floor liners and it's a nice improvement and much better protection. The Lexus winter mats are too small and don't have deep enough ridges to contains fluids.

On a scale of soft to hard plastic, they are closer to the hard end of the scale. They remind me of plastic trays.

I think they are much better than the OEM Lexus winter mats.

Have the all weather mats not the liners from weathertech. On Year 2 for the RX and year one for the IS - so far so good.
