Default Interior color code question




I have a 2006 ML with a moonlight pearl body color. The interior color code is LA07 which is confusing me. Is this Cashmere or Ivory or something else? Or are those both the same exact color? I’m asking because I want to get new floor mats but reading old threads is making my head spin because there’s conflicting answers. I THINK Lexus started charging colors in the later 430 years but kept the same stock numbers from what I’ve read. Please help! I want mats the exact color that came with the car.

This is what I mean by the same stock numbers changing colors in later years…

Your 2006 LS 430 will have the code 072 for the Moonbeam Pearl paint
and the code LA07 indicates the interior is Cashmere. The other interior
colors available with Moonbeam would have been LA10 which was called Ash
or LA08 which was Ecru. Ecru was only available with optional Custom Luxury
or Ultra Luxury trims.

Thanks! Yeah looking at the ivory mats I just edited and posted, those look way to light for my car. I guess it’s possible my car originally came with that color but my seats are NOT the real light tan, more of a beige color.

Do you mean moonlight pearl? I’ve never heard moonbeam before haha.

Yes, looking right at the 2006 Lexus Product guide and misread Moonlight as Moonbeam...

there are 2 floor mats . some have premium mats and they are thicker than standard . the premium mats never had a heel pad as some have. the premium mats are no longer available and that is why some order replacement mats and are disappointed with what they receive. premium mats came on UL and maybe the others by order when car was new.

Interesting. I have a ML with the original mats (I’m guessing) so I guess I’m I won’t know what I’m missing unless I sit in a UL someday.

Interesting. First time heard of this. When I ordered a set of JDM style 2nd row floor mat from a custom floor mat maker, I was asked if wanted a thicker version. I did but I did not notice the difference between it and my original floor mat. I wanted the JDM floor mats to cover the ridge between the left and right seats in the 2nd row, which did and is doing a great job protecting the floor carpet.

also the rear seat mats do not have cut outs to fit under the fronts, but are rectanglier. anyway I could tell a slight difference when I had both kinds. the dealer would switch them out if buyer did not like the heel pad to make the sale so any level could have the premium mats, not just UL's

A must have😜 For every car I have, I have at least one set of spare floor mats, new. I cannot stand dirty floor carpets and floor mats. For LS430, in danger of discontinued production of floor mats, you’ve got to have 2 new spare sets of floor mats.

@JZZFZZ , I hate you.....because you're right. I will think about ordering this weekend.

The code @funcrusher listed above; those pics look like mine. No foot pad, just the hard embroidered logo.
Do you agree PT206-50060-00 is the true OE code and not the replacement code?
