Default all-weather floormats?

Do they make OEM all-weather floormats for the 2GS? I haven't been able to find any on eBay. If they don't, are there any aftermarket ones for the 2GS that don't ruin the look?

I'm not sure if there's an OEM option, but I just got a full set of all weather mats from WeatherTech. They included the floor mats, and the trunk mat.

Check those out, I'm very happy with how they fit in the GS. BTW, they are a bit thicker to hold snow and slush on the mat....so I'm not sure if these may be a bit overkill for you in CA.

BTW, your name is Urmil?

I had some of these for my GS and they are pretty clear. They go right over your factory mats.

I made my weather mats out of a sheet of that roller chair surface from office max. It was cheap and easy to cut and mold with a hair dryer. Also they fit better than other weather mats I have have in the past and never slide since they have those points on the underside.

Great idea on the DIY mats if you don't get a lot of snow. We get tons so I need that outer edge lip to keep the H2O on the mats not the floor board.

Bringing it back from the dead, yes way dead...

does anyone have pictures of good rubber mats installed???
I had weather tech for my 2001 Audi S4 and i just gave them to my girlfriend, ironically they fit her car too, so i think weathertech is just one big universal rubber mat that they say custom fits, but thats horse poop, since i took it out of a 2001 S4 Avant, and put it in a 2001 TL

So im looking for something with Lexus on it or a good fit.

Default Michelin mats

I just got a set at Walmart for 30 bucks. They fit pretty decent. I drills holes in them for the hooks, figure it would give me some peace of mind from all the gas pedal stuck in mats kind of things.

I have Lexus OEM mats on my RX350 and they don't look much different than the Walmart mats on my GS300. Of course you don't have the Lexus logo but you pay hundreds of dollars less for the Michelin logo.

well dangit, maybe ill suck it up and buy the weathertech universal poop...
only issue with the black ones, was that it seems to lose the blackness of the black, lol...it would basically fade.

I bought some Michelin all weather ones from sears last Aug. They were on sale for $17 for 4, which was a crazy price, so I bought 2. They are a little small in the back, but it is a good thing I don't carry more than 2 passengers lol. Otherwise, they are holding up pretty well in the blizzards we had this winter. I was thinking about buying ones from Sewell but $80 bucks isn't worth it (to me). I have them in both the GS and the 2010 Camry and they are great. Definitely worth the purchase
