I told the saleman that it doesn't look right but he said that's what the part dept gave him

I got all weather mats from Lexus too when I signed, and they ahve been a godsend. I work in a construction site too and wish I could keep my car from being dusty all the time, I even thought about a car cover.

i ended up gettint the clear exactmats off of ebay. it's a good fit, however, the fronts are a lot longer than the carpet floor mats. my clutch actually picked up the floor mat and got stuck underneath it while i was driving! luckily i was on the street n quickly pulled over to find out what was going on. it was pretty scary not being able to brake.
