Default winter mats

I just got some inexpensive ones from e-bay for now. They were $30. They fit pretty good and don't look bad. They do not have the hold down feature. They also have mats for the trunk. I got a cheapie there as well. The weather-tech mats are real nice but very expensive. Please post when the ones you want become available. I would like to see pics.

You could get another set of OEM mats. Dealer said they weren't selling rubber winter mats when I asked the same question about a yr ago.

Dealer threw in a new set of OEM mats. I just use the new ones in the summer and swap the old ones in during xmas break. They're pretty resistant to dirt and salt IMO and will wash out pretty easily.

Thanks I will call Dierdra at Bergstrom she usually has the scoop. I just washed the salt and grime out of mine again last night. The carpeted ones wash out real nice time and time again. THX Warm

6 am going to work we got thunderstroms in January! Wish my job was as dependable and fun as my LS.

I was lucky enough to get a set of Lexus winter mats along with carpet versions when I bought my LS 3 years ago so I don't know for sure about new winter mats for Lexus. I have checked with Toyota for our 07 Highlander and I know Toyota changed to winter rubber mats that are very thin. The parts guy described the new mats as a piece of rubber bologna. I ended up ordering a set of WeatherTech mats instead...expensive but very protective and durable.


here is a set that look very similar to the old style OEM Lexus mats

I had the same issue and went with the WeatherTech rubber mats. They're actually high quality mats, I'm glad I bought them. Usually the rubber mats they sell at auto parts stores are crap, the WeatherTech are definitely a much higher quality product, I'd say they're about 95% of the quality of an OEM mat.

And is unbelievably stupid how out of control the legal system is where a car company is afraid to sell floor mats.
