Default Floor mats

What do you guys use? I ordered the diamond studded patters PVC leather from Etsy, supposed to be high quality and looks awesome. Hand made, so takes a while to make. Ordered about two-three weeks ago.

Just plain-old Lexus floor mats. During the winter, I have a set of what look like Weather-tech mats, but they are made by someone else.

I ran both in different cars; the weathertechs and knock offs. The weathertechs are much better in quality.

I'm looking at a set of Lloyd's rubber mats for my '01 UL.

I have OEMs but was missing the rears, so I ordered a new set of OEMS. I found the new OEMS to be of lesser quality than the original OEMS when I compared the fronts. They were not as plush. Still, not a bad deal for $120 or so on eBay.

I had a similar experience. Our car came with some dingy OEM Cashmere mats and i wanted to replace with OEM Black mats that were on $99 special at the dealer. Very happy with the black contrast with the Cashmere interior, but they are much thinner and lighter than the old ones. They are similar to the OEM mats in our new Mazda in terms of materials and weight.

IIRC, the new ones were made in America and are probably not to the exact standard of the original OEM. I kept the new OEM fronts as extras for just in case.

Just get a set of universals and cut them using the stock one as a template. I did just that cuz I could not find anyone who had aftermarket ones. Loyds I’ve had in the past and that’s basically all they do, except it’s their HEX design.

Does anyone make a floor mat that cover the transmission hump for the rear passenger? My son sits in the middle, so like to have that middle hump covered.

Doubt you'll find anything to exactly match the OEM mats. I personally won't use anything other than the OEM mats. I suggest you purchase a new set of OEM mats, and then use one of removed mats by cutting one of the front mats to a size that will fit over the rear hump. That would provide a perfect match and look very nice as well.

Over the hump matts are a popular JDM option. I'll have to see if I can one on YAJ in ash.

My new to me LS comes with Weathertech, but the rear mat is split into two piece, one for each side. The middle hump is not covered.
