Default Synthetic leather mat for 460L

Since purchasing 2014 LS, I have been looking for a mat in gray color that would also cover entire back. Found this in ebay and ordered. Once shipped it took 6 days to get delivered. Pleased with the quality and fit.

Phone camera is not doing justice, if weather permits will take some shots during day light and share it here . Ebay link : https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Colors-Le...dXrGl6&vxp=mtr

Hi satiger, these diamond-stitch mats look very nice and elegant. They also fit quite nicely. Are they suitable for winter? It seems that it would be hard to wash off mud and slush stains.

Hi AC, according to the seller its water proof. I should be able to wash off or clean with cloth. I had weathertech on previous LS. The main drawback of weathertech is fit as well curling up top edge. Also weathertech doesn't provide full length support for back. Didn't like that look and fit on a luxury car.

It looks too nice to be placed in a car.

If I saw that on someone's car, first thing I would ask is if I need to take off my shoes before getting in.

I'm curious to see how they work out. I too was disappointed with the Weathertech floor liners - mine also curled up at the edges, and one of those deformations would catch my right foot at times. I just ordered the regular Weathertech winter mats, which I've had in other cars.

I've seen those on eBay and I'm glad someone actually posted up a review of it.
Hopefully you can let us know about the long-term thoughts once they're 'broken'-in

They look quite nice, I just wouldn't run those in the winter time, at least not here in Chicago, so much salt!!!

Basicallyartificial leather, flexible somewhat plastic. Wonder how long it'll last.

Finally got an opportunity to take some pics with sunlight. First, its a very tight fit unlike weather tech. So far nicely holding up.

Very nice; thank you for sharing! I forget when in the last year or two that these (or a very similar concept) were posted by a vendor (if memory serves me right). I am a fan of what I see. On a side note, I also happen to think WeatherTech floor liners are overrated and didn't actually go with them for our current LX like I had before.

Curious to see how they wear and how they clean up over time.

Thanks for the pictures.

This is is exactly what I am looking for.

Is your LS a LWB?

Do you think this mat is good for winter with lot of snow and salt?

I agree. I had the WeatherTech floor liners in my Cadillac, and the edges folded and curled to the point where it was catching my foot as I hit the gas. I had the grey ones, and I couldn't get them clean after the first winter. I went with the WeatherTech floormats for now.

The photos I shared today was taken without cleaning them after few uses (not with snow). Since they are water proof I am not concerned about it. I plan on cleaning them as needed with cloth.

What surprises me is their tight fit. Wherever there is 1 or 2 mm gap, the mat extends in such a way to push that in to stay firm there. So much thought went into design this. This car comes with reclining back seat. When I extend those seats, mat didn't get pushed out or get caught with seat movement. Mat came with plastic clips to hold them tight as needed but I didn't have to use them.

Do they actually seem more leather like or like plastic?
They look good. My car came with Weather Techs in the front, which do the trick, but yours are more sleek and quality looking.
