Default Another Stupid Floor Mats Question

So I was browsing around on Sewell and saw that the RX300 floor mats are $80 instead of $110 for GS or ES mats (which Ive heard will fit). Does anyone know for sure if the RX300 mats will fit in the SC? They look as though they're the same shape but Id like to be a little more sure before I order em.
Thanks

I have an RX350 and the dealer gave me two sets for the pebble beach edition. I tried one set out for my SC and NO, they do not fit. I am not sure with the RX300.

This is pretty interesting. I'm not sure if the RX300, GS, or ES floor mats fit, but I would love to find out. I need a new set of black OEM SC floor mats, but they are way too expensive and hard to find.

Thanks for the offer but I'm specifically looking for some brand new oem black mats

I've heard and seen multiple times on CL that the ES and GS mats will fit in the SC.

you could also redye your black ones or even tan ones. I dyed my tan ones black and they look brand new.

That's assuming they're in good shape (ie no holes...)

That's also assuming that I have floor mats in the first place. When I bought my car it came with crappy aftermarket autozone floor mats cause according to the previous owner, the original ones were torn to shreds.

The floor mats are the final piece to my interior puzzle, so I'm hoping to find something soon. If worse comes to worse, I'll just get a really nice set of custom cut aftermarket ones.

I hate how difficult this has become. Why in gods names is it so effing hard to find floor mats, FLOOR MATS, for this car?
Holy effing scheiße this is frustrating!

I can confirm that the ES driver side floor mat fit nicely in the SC. i got one off a 93 or 94 and it actually felt thicker and more durable than the SC one. The passenger side ES does not fit well at all in the sc
