Also can find them on fleabay from a jdm vendor, I forget his name, but pricing seems on par with nigel. A non-Lexus alternative is Weathertech which run about $100 a set I think, although I like the Lexus ones better since the profile is lower and looks cleaner overall.

i don't think weathertech makes anything for 4LS, but i may be wrong. it's been a few months since i last checked. there are non-branded ones on yahoo auctions japan, but those are only for SWB models and don't look very good. they are cheap, though
