You can find some a little cheaper on ebay but I don't mind spending a bill on some NEW OEM carpets. should easily last another 10-15 years before serious wear

Black will look good and break up the Tan some. I'll be getting some black ones soon myself... Also $109 shipped is a great price for OEM Lexus mats...

I got real lucky...I have the cashmere interior and mine came with the black Lexus hard rubber all season mats. They look real good. And are a savior in this hella bad winter so far.

The mismatched colors would drive me crazy. But I don't really deal with snow, mud, etc. so maybe it's easier for me to keep my mats clean.

Anyone know where one could get black rubber floor mats for a good price?
They're 109€ ($148) from a local Toyota dealer. I wouldn't care to pay that much for 4 rubber mats.

You would have to go aftermarket i'm afraid. They don't make OEM rubber fitted mats for the 2nd... Its a shame because something like a fitted weathertech mat would sell..

I bought the black mats on eBay, now I use my original mats in the winter and new new ones the rest of the year, it definitely looks a lot better, I thought it was worth it. I believe I saw tan mats on eBay as well

Damn.. I wonder why the Toyota dealer would sell me them and I specifically asked for rubber mats for 2nd gen GS.

What kind of mats are those then if not the ones I was just talking about?

Edit: Btw I saw OEM Lexus black rubber mats a few months ago on eBay but they were for LHD GS.. Thought it would matter which side you're driving.

No they wouldn't. Look at this thread, 100$ for OE NEW mats is too much?

What makes you think the same people will pay 300$ for a set of weathertechs?
LOL
