Default High quality floor mats?

I am looking for some replacement floor mats for my GS300 Sport Design and I want some that are very high end. Any suggestions?

^ I second that. But seeing as you're from VA, use WeatherTech mats for the Winter.

I very much beg to differ, my OEM Lexus ones are garbage Hopefully original Aristo ones are better (like my Soarers).

You can either buy the Lloyd floor mats from AutoGeek.net which can be custom made or go with WALD or Bellezza Floor Mats for more plushness/luxury. Of course the WALD/Bellezza ones will be a bit higher in price, but if you want better quality they're a good route to take.

Lloyd: http://www.autogeek.net/floormats.html

WALD: http://www.wald.co.jp/interiart/floo...apan_made.html

To get Bellezza you'll have to go through a vendor on VSC.

You can Beg to differ, but doesn't mean you're right.. I don't know what the OEM ones are like in your part of the world, but my Original set that came with both my cars are primo (thick, plush and very durable)..

I second that. Except I use WeatherTechs year round. Too lazy to swap em out.

Don't know what else to tell you then.

As far as I know, OEM, Wald, Bellezza, JP, and Weathertech are the only producers for floormats for us that are 'plush' or 'luxurious'. All you're left with after you cut those out of the picture are Wal-Mart floor mats to be honest.

yes that maybe true don BUT you ALSO dont drive your GS's very often. i DD mine and i have been through 2 sets of OEM floormats i bought in 5 years. i had the ones which when i got the car were so so and i dont know if they were origianl, so for aesthetics i bought another set in 2007 (i think) and then got rid of them in end of 2010 or early 2011. i do agree though that the best LOOKING set are the OEMs but i dont think they are all that great

Maybe the OP should post example of what he IS looking for...even if the material isn't a floor mat.

Are you looking for like a bearskin rug or something?
