I inherited my mom's '07 ES350 a couple of weeks ago, the car has been kinda neglected and needs some attention, but I'm working my way through the issues, trying to get it back to pristine condition. Only 43K miles, so it's worth the effort.

One item I can't seem to resolve is I want to buy new carpeted floor mats. The interior is the light tan "cashmere" color, and the mats have a lot of little stains on them, and the driver's mat is really dirty (even after shampooing), they're not worth trying to salvage. This is my 3rd ES, when I bought my previous '05 it had "new" mats from the dealer, but it turns out they were aftermarket mats, not OEM. They fit OK but what bugged me is the grommets for the floor hooks didn't line up, and honestly they didn't have the same quality. So I want to get new ones for this car, but I want to make sure they are OEM, and have the proper grommets.

Amazon has some mats, but nothing in this color. I found this source http://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/l...-33070-10.html but I'm concerned because the description says "Driver’s side front mat is equipped with grommet holes that accept retention hooks (clips) to help keep the floor mat in place". What about the other 3 mats?

Does anybody have a better source for OEM mats?

 

I would expect the other OEM mats to have the required correspondeing holes etc.

I recommend you get black mats to avoid the dirt issue. Both my Lexus vehicles have the parchment interior with black mats. They look great and hide the dirt. I had a 2005 with the cashmere/parchment interior and parchment mats and they always looked dirty, even with the clear plastic mat covers. Never again!

You can call http://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.com/ another OEM discounted parts supplier. Or look on eBay where you may find better photos.

 

If you're interested I can sell you a set. I happen to have the originals from my 07 that I took out when I switched to all weather mats. They are as close to new looking as you can get given I had them covered with those dealership plastic mats for the short time they were in my car.

I might even have the under floor clips somewhere.

I wont be home for the next couple of weeks, but can get them shipped out to you when I get back.

 

EBay...thats where I found the ones for my 08.
