Default Floormats

I have Cashmere interior and I definitely need to change the mats. They are gonna get disgusting...do you think that I should get some Cashmere all weathers or black? The dash and top of the doors is black, just curious as to what people would think looks better.

I have the same interior colours, dealer threw in black all weather mats which fit directly over the cashmere mats. Matches nicely with the black dash.

I have the cashmere and got the Black all weather. Look awesome because the dash is black too.

I'd recommend ExactMats also.

I don't even use the carpets, just the all weather mats, for my cashmere interior too.

I have a Crystal White IS with the cashmere interior. I don't know how much ExactMats costs, but I just purchased a set of clear mats at Wal-Mart for $10-$15. I vaccumed the original matts really well and placed the clear mats on top. The clear mats aren't an exact match, but they match up quite nicely. It looks pretty good if you ask ed me. Gives it a very clean and classy look. Hope that helps

i think i paid about 60 bucks or so on ebay for the exactmats. at first i got some clear vinyl mats at target... they slid around like no other! the exactmats have a clip that makes it stay put and have pretty huge spikes underneath to prevent any sliding.

I'm stunned that not one single person here has obtained a set of aftermarket CARPET mats. Yeah, Lexus has all weather mats (I have a set), what about some good carpeted mats? The OEM mats are crap in my opinion, and these Exactmats everybody is gushing over are nothing more than overpriced plastic junk. Doesn't anyone want carpet under their toes?

I had the same problem and ended up getting the black all-weather mats from Lexus. They get the job done, look nice and they're not really that expensive. They match the interior pretty well too.

i frequent construction sites quite often for work n it would be a pita to clean the carpet mats (oem or aftermarket). its much easier to clean mud n gunk off of plastic. i wouldn't mind having carpet under my toes either... but i don't normally drive barefoot heheh.
