floor mats
 

Hello guys.. I know that some of you guys know the color combo's / inside and out on these cars so I hope you can help me out. I've got a 2013 ES 350. The floor mats in the car are pretty dirty... I tried shampooing them but they didn't come out as well as I had hoped so I just want to replace them with another oem set. couple of questions...are these beige or Ivory ( exterior is matador red ).. I'm going to try and include an interior pic.. also, as far as the part number, I've found two of them. they are very similar but I don't want to order the wrong one. The part number that I "thought' was correct is PT 208-3313-00. However on another side I came across a part number PT 208-3313S-00 Does anyone on here know if there's a difference in either of these floor mats? Which is the correct number? I really only wanted to buy mats for the front since it is very seldom that anyone rides in the back, but looks like I'm going to have to buy the 4 piece.. appreciate your input. Thank you

I know you have had this ES for awhile and can not believe the mats look that clean. The light color looks great but is impossible to keep clean. All the other online Lexus parts/accessories sites that I use only have the black and ivory carpet color choices.

Another option would go with the all weather mats. These only come in black but would match top of doors and dash. I have these both in our ES and RX. I have them in dark brown which matches the dash and top of doors etc. Take them out scrub with a soapy brush, rinse and brand new.

It looks like you have the same interior that I had on my 2013 which was "Satin Cashmere" exterior paint and "Parchment" interior. Do they have parchment color mats?
Those light colored mats - parchment - were almost impossible to keep clean... I finally went with clear vinyl mats over the OEM carpet mats to keep them clean.

BTW your car looks great for being 6 years old...

You can get your interior colour code from the info plate on the driver’s side door jamb. If the code is /LB01 it is Parchment.

For the 2013 model year ES, there were only 3 interior colors available. They were black, stratus gray, and parchment. The OP's car clearly has the parchment interior, but the color of the carpeting with the parchment interior is clearly a darker color than that of the seats or that of the trim on the lower dash, doors, console, etc. So, I'm not sure whether Lexus called the color of the floor mats parchment or something else.

Ha Ha.. Fred I wish they were as clean as they were in the picture... this picture is from the same week I bought the car 5, almost 6 years ago... The mat's in there now look like crap... had the car detailed some time back and they told me the shampooed and shampooed the mats and they just won't come clean, so that's why I'm looking to replace them... and thanks for the links.. I'll check them out in just a bit.. appreciate it sir.

BC.. thank you, but full transparency here... that picture showing the interior was taken back at about the time I bought the car.... this is the most recent pic I have of the Lexus, and even this pic is just under 2 years old... BUT... It still looks just like this pic.

Your post caused me to recall something: when I bought my Japanese build 2014 earlier this year the carpet mats were still in a sealed plastic wrapping in the trunk and the 4-season rubber mats were installed (surprising!). I just checked the plastic bag and there is a label on it..."Description: LEXUS ES 4PC IVORY Part No. P1208-33130-00". Now here's the good part also on the package label..."Toyota Motor Sales, USA INC. Made in USA" BUT..the driver's mat has the LEXUS label and Logo stitched into it! So it appears that the mats appropriate for the "Parchment" interior are labelled "IVORY" and the Lexus dealer put a new set of the floor mats in as part of their pre-sales detailing (it was a lease return vehicle).

My guess: that's what you'll get when you go down to Lexus to buy them...might as well check out a Toyota dealer parts price too...might be a lot less costly! Now you've got a part number too...which you already had!

Poppa - I too had a 2013 ES with parchment and "ivory" mats which were dirty from the day I bought he car home. By 2016, Lexus had changed to a darker brown mat and the problem was solved. My 2016 met an untimely and early demise and I can't recall whether they changed all the carpet to the dark color or just the mats.

When I realized that the light colored mats were going to be a problem, I went on ebay and found a new set of Lexus mats still in the plastic bags for less than $100. I don't know if any such mats might still be available but maybe someone who used their all season mats only might now be offering their original carpet mats, you might at least check. As I recall the Lexus price for new mats was pretty high and you have to buy a set of 4, of course. I always thought it was a pretty resourceful move by Lexus after years of hearing owner's complain about the light colored mats. And it wasn't just the light color, it was the fact that they just wouldn't clean up.

I believe that you are correct and that Lexus, after 2 or 3 years into the Generation 6 ES, did change the mats to a darker brown. My memory is a bit foggy, but I believe that they also changed the carpet and some of the trim panels to a darker brown, too.

In any case, if it was my car, my first choice would be, instead of replacing the carpet mats, to buy a set of the Lexus all-weather mats. But, if I really wanted carpet mats, I'd buy the darker brown ones. The brown will actually complement the parchment interior very nicely.

The 2013 ES that I had for 3 1/2 years had the parchment interior (with the light colored carpets and mats). In just the few days between the time when I bought the car and when I was able to get delivery of all-weather mats, the light colored carpet mats already looked bad just from my getting into and out of the car. So, it would have been hard for me to come up with a good reason to buy another set of the light colored carpet mats.

I've found Turtle Wax "Power Out" Carpet shampoo does a pretty good job of cleaning mats and "kick" areas around the centre tunnel carpeting. Probably not so much if you get tar from hot pavement on your shoes but cleaning up mud and other, "unexplained" stains it is effective. Don't rely on the silly, plastic brush that comes with the pressurized can but use a good, stiff bristle brush and do the entire mat lightly once you've got the stain out so as not to leave "blotchy" areas. Pressure rinse the mats and let them dry in the sun.

Good idea on the darker mats for replacement, Less. After all, down in the footwells it will be darker and "mismatch" won't matter so much. If we can live with black rubber mats half the year, then summer should be easy.

Actually and surprisingly, there are some new brown OEM mats available for your ES on ebay right now - $75 or less, I believe.

Tootsall... first, thanks for the reply.. question for you.. is the part number PT-208-3313-00... What you wrote down is slightly different, but could be a typo..

Hi Poppa; reckon I’m blind in one eye and can’t see with the other 🤣. When I first looked at the label yesterday it was torn but sure looked like “P1”. When you asked the question I decided to tape the label flat as I could get it...probably says “PT” (for “part”?). Here’s a shot

So not a typo but more of a “visio”!

Tootsall.. thank you very much. I appreciate it sir.
