can you post pictures? If it's better may return for the liners...

This WT does not cover the whole foot rest area, but it covers base of the center console

Not the greatest shots, but hopefully a start... Lighting wasn't great, and also it got late and the photographer was running on fumes...

Showing are the front liners and one side of the 2nd row liner. In the process of taking the pics, I realized I need to reposition the 2nd row piece, but its coverage over the sill still shows.

As for the first row, there is full coverage of the dead pedal. I'm not crazy about the design around the accelerator, but of course, there's some history there... The passenger side liner goes up just about as much as one would expect. WT ended (inexplicably) very low in that foot well.

Happy to take more...

Caha14,

Thank you for pictures . Like the old said " Picture is worth thousand words". There are pluses and minuses of each one. I wish the OEM have taller wall at the console, but it looks more elegant with the Lexus logo. On the passenger side, do you have problem with the distal end of liner keeps rolling down? Are these OEM floor mats flexible?

May be I should get the OEM floormats, but what am I going to do with the WT.

I've seem the OEM lexus floor liners on the 17" LX when i pick up my 17" LX, I didn't like the lexus one because the floor liner mat is still not cover around the brake and gas pedals what happens is when is raining outside and your got wet and you get in the truck and drive the water still dripping down the carpet and it will get wet and dirty, therefore I bought a WT floor liners is cover better

I had the same initial reaction. However, given the angle of the floor, water actually flows away from that area, and it hasn't been a problem. I am more bothered by the absurdly minimalist design around the accelerator due to Lexus' paranoia.

Good eyes! It actually has not rolled down at all. They are still new, and what you see is from packaging. I am still working on it lying flat and will probably hit it with my wife's hair drier. The liners have little spikes underneath (like regular floor mats), so it's not going anywhere.

They are actually very flexible, which at first glance (when looking at the liners outside the car) some folks won't like (especially since the WT provide this sense of "sturdiness"). When they are in place, the flexibility is actually nice, because as I said in an earlier post, they adapt better to the contours of the floor. Plus, the rigidity of the WT worked against me (permanently deformed lip, as I shared earlier, allowing all kinds of good stuff to get between the liner and the carpet in an area the lip was supposed to protect). If you think about it, we don't need the mats to be stiff, since the stiffness is provided by the floor; we just need proper coverage and volume.

On the Cargo mat, I cut out the holes for the 3rd row and then removed the plastic trim pieces at the holes, placed the mat under, and then re-fit the trim pieces. This keeps the mat from moving at all and makes sure that the mat does not interfere with the seat's movement.

He is referring to the WeatherTech Land Cruiser cargo mat of the same year. I purchased the same.

Default WeatherTech cargo liner

It is bizarre, indeed, that at some point during production of LX570 (I think MY 2015), WT began to "not offer" a solution for the LX cargo area, even though the interior of the truck did not change. It does fit perfectly, and FWIW, I still have my brown one (from our 2010 LX) at home. I haven't posted it for sale, but if anyone is interested, please feel free to PM.

I like the Lexus OEM all weather mats. They seem to come in two models that cover 2013-2015 and 2016-2017. They two seem to be slightly different styles and I like the later 2016 ones that cover the full dead-pedal (earlier ones don't).

They don't seem to make them for the earlier 2008-2012?

But at the same time, I see other brands that cover 2013-2017 and 2008-2016. Wonder if there is really any difference?

Anyone know if the 2016-2017 style will fit the my earlier 2009? I'm thinking there's relatively little difference if any.
