Yes!
They are HELLA FAST and improve gas mileage, only if you seafoam them first!

Just Kidding!

What are you asking? do they fit? Do you not like 400 mats?

Look for the dimensions, maybe on ebay.

EDIT: I see some mats advertised on ebay for all 3 Sc cars. Probably means they fit. No guarantee tho..... call them.

Welcome to the club!!

my mats are new but im not sure where they came from. they have holes fro little black twist tabs (like VW uses) on the corners which makes me assume they might be for a 430 or a later year 300/400.

I saw those tabs on Sewell site I think. I would call them and ask. Any dealer would know i'd guess.

Would be interested to find out as well.

I found this thread on Club Lexus which someone found premium OEM floor mats from an LS600 and they fit pretty well inside a SC430. If someone has a friend with an SC430, please see if the mats fit into a 92-00 SC3/SC4.

Here is the shape of LS460 Mats. Pretty close minus the section under the drivers pedal. I think the mat is designed this way to push the pedal all the way down while keeping a nice, plush mat
