^ I Agree 100%. I've bought stuff from Carson & Sewell and have always had good experiences from both. You *might* find a lower price on Ebay or the internet, but caveat emptor, you might also get hosed. . .

print out the winter mat page with price from www.sewellpartsonline.com or www.irontoad.com. Take it to your local Lexus parts counter and ask them if they can match that price. Mine usually does and the sales tax is usually less than the shipping costs I would have paid.

For genuine Toyota/Lexus parts I have had the best luck and prices in the past at:
http://toyota-dallas.com/Default.aspx (oil filters and such) Watch out for specials and free shipping occasionally.

If you have to have that Lexus logo: http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par...id=87728&all=Y When I was shopping around they had the best price but of course wanted more for the shipping. They would not honor the price for local pickup. As for the Lexus floor mats, when I was looking they all were about the same price on line. Actually I was not that impressed with mats and you have to remove your cloth mats from what I remember. I like the ones I got elsewhere that go overtop the cloth mats and offer better coverage at a much lower cost. Unless you have to have the Lexus brand lol, go and compare to the winter mats at Wal-Mart ..
