Default Which Custom Floor Mats?

I am disappointed with the floor mats for my new LS460. I looked up custom floor mats on the internet, and there are MANY of them. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for plush, high quality floor mat manufacturers?

I've gone a little more practical and have ordered the all-weather mats for the LS. I have these mats in the GX and really like them.

I have the optional factory all-weather mats on our car. Though they are very well made and fit perfectly, there are two problems.

First, they they only available in black or tan. No grey...

Second, they mimic the unforgiveable sin of the Lexus carpeted mats -- they leave so much carpet around the dead pedal exposed that this area gets filthy. That inside edge of the dead pedal will become worn through very quickly.

I am really hoping that SOMEONE out there comes out with a form-fitted tray for the LS460 -- one that offers more complete coverage and protection, that retains all dirt and water within the confines of the mat...

We are giving the Hexomats a try, but they have the same cut as the factory mats. You can get either a one or two-piece rear mat with this set. Only problem is that these are the smelliest mats on earth; we used a set in the old Phaeton and it takes forever for the chemical smell to dissapate. Ours are sitting outside right now, outgassing...

I also got the all weather mats. They were part of the accessorary package.

My interior is black, so they look OK. They seem very durable.

The accessory package includes the trunk mat, cargo net and wheel locks. If your dealer threw in the interior all weathers, that's great. I'm expecting some kind of discount when mine arrive at the dealership.
