I'm not exactly sure how to clean your old ones, other than using a carpet cleaner.

I don't think the black ones would look bad, the tan interior uses a darker color floormat so black on grey may not look to bad.

If you have the black ones, then maybe put them in and take pictures and post it back up on the forum and ask people what they think, you may get more responses that way.

Eh, were the black ones a gift or did you actually buy a set of black ones?

Either way though. If you have an ebay account theres a seller ItsAllAboutYourLexus. He's the seller from Sewell Lexus in Dallas,TX.

Theres a set you can pick up. I think he lets you chose the color? Email him and find out.

Good luck!

I have the grey interior and thought my floormats looked kind of grimy. I bought a new set from Darrel at Sewell for like $93.00 and was somewhat disappointed to learn that the new ones look almost the same, just clean. If I were you and they are not real worn out, just throw them into your washing machine and wash them like you would your underwear. They come out great. Don't laugh, give it a try. Lots of used car dealers do this.

Great Tip! Never heard of doing that before, but it seems like it would work great.

Oh yea....forgot about the washing machine trick.
I used to do that for my camry before I bought a pressure washer. So much eaier now with the pressure washer....just dump the remaining soap water from car washing onto mats....get a brush and scrub for a bit. Then blast that thing with 1800psi. Mats look brand new afterwards
