Ultimately, I'd just get the Lexus All Weather mats since they can be secured to the floor with the stock anchors and you will not have issues with them potentially getting stuck in your brake and accelerator pedals.
Good point. I was looking into them last night. Pulled the trigger this morning and got them

Haha, funny how one thinks right? I thought that too last night. Pulled the trigger on the All-Weather from Sewell this morning, $112 shipped.

Guys, you are missing what I'm asking. I have the digital fit on my gx470 and I love it. Also it does latch to the existing floor mat latch. I feel that I get a better protection with the weathertech. But push come to shove I'm going to end up getting the Lexus version. I won't lowball myself

Going by the description of this mat on Sewellparts.com I would say 2013 would fit.

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2014/5180.html

Also Fits:
IS250: 2006 - 2014
IS350: 2006 - 2014
ISF: 2008 - 2014

So I got these All-Weather Floor Mats from Sewell today and I'm quite disappointed with it.
-The driver's side kind of fits okay but the floor anchors aren't aligned correctly (see photo)
-The rear mats don't even cover the whole area (see photo).
-The front passenger side is the only one that fits.

I'm going to return these and keep the WeatherTech. It's not as thick or heavy as the WeatherTech and they are slippery.

Those are not the correct Lexus mats for your car. Mine look nothing like that and mine fit perfectly and cover the entire foot area in the rear seats. Sewell should not have those listed on their site as compatible with the new IS.

These are the mats you should have ordered (choose the RWD option obviously): http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2014/6273.html

It's looks like Sewell realized the error and have removed the mats that phungy ordered. I also have the mats that bradtopp has.....perfect fit.

I bet Sewell made a mistake when they put this in 3IS. When I bought mine this mat wasn't listed but I noticed it was added when I was looking up the other one for you. Sorry! I hope you can return this and get the right one without any hassle or financial loss.

This is just an FYI:

I just spoke with WeatherTech regarding the Digital Fit Floor liners for the 2014+ IS350 F Sport RWDs. The representative said they just laser measured the the RWD version, and the liners should be available for purchase within 8-10 weeks. Hope that helps someone.

I contacted Sewell about it. They said I received the wrong product and removed the product as doodlebug already mentioned. They are giving me the correct one when I go to the dealership and refunded me the difference.

Has anyone actually used Weather Tech FloorLiner Digital Fit for 2014 Lexus IS 250/350 AWD? I wonder how much the foot rest is covered by the design. Any pictures is great. That would help to gauge whether the upcoming RWD version looks good or not.

Thanks.

i have the WeatherTech Digital Fits for my 2014 now. About 1/2 of the dead pedal is covered. Much better overall coverage than the Lexus All Weather mats.

Thanks again.

Mind if you could take a quick shot on the mat on the driver's side when you have time?

[QUOTE=AndyL;8377248]Thanks again.

Mind if you could take a quick shot on the mat for the driver? That would help visualize what it exactly looks like when it is used inside the car.

About the half-coverage of the foot rest -- it is consistent to what is observed in the picture from the Weather Tech web site.
