i just picked one up along with a set or all weather mats for 250 including shipping. only thing i don't like about it is that you lose that small storage well on the left side of the trunk. you could always peel back the liner and hide things in there tho...

I ordered mine from Sewell. I've been using it for a week now and its great! The rubber is a bit thin but it's "heavy duty" enough for my needs. I load all kinds of scrap metal and semi hazardous materials (lead solder) and the rubber trunk mat is holding up well. The rubber floor mat has a 1" lip that protects the sides of the trunk floor and I like how it covers the ENTIRE bottom floor of the trunk, including the sides (where the lexus health kit and amp is located). I'll post pics tomorrow

At least it didn't happen to the more-expensive carpeted floor mats, or the floor board carpet.

Can't you get some dish soap and a scrub brush to clean it? or did the rubber discolor?

I believe that he's referring to the hole in the middle of the mat (see center of second pic), not the discoloration

I see it now--duh.

Well--if they were purchased as accessories at the same time as the car, doesn't the dealer always try and push you to buy them then because, if you do, they will be covered by the factory warranty? They may try to claim normal wear and tear, but that would mean that Lexus would be advocating they aren't meant to last 2 years--not a good position to be arguing.
