What are these mats made of? Do you have a link?

How many of you use something other than the Lexus logo'ed carpeted floor mats?

I use them, but they are a pain in the butt to keep clean since they are light gray in color. It's just the idea of having a luxury car with rubber mats--they don't seem to go together. Is there something in between that gives that luxurious look with the durability of rubber?

I figure that some of you will say that you use the rubber mats because of snow and rain. Here in southern California, we don't get snow apart from in the local mountains, and it generally doesn't rain from April to November.

I have the Black mat from Lexus. You can use the Clear Vinyl the comes from Lexus, too, you just put on top of the carpet. So, now I have 2 options, regular carpet or Rubber mats. Easy to replace, too. I like it. Maintenance free.

Nope, decide not to get it. I already have a net and I will use it as tie down.

Just so I understand, you have the black, carpeted mats? Are they just like the standard Lexus mats. How are they "all-weather"?

About the clear vinyl ones. Are these the same shape of the original mats and simply lay over them? What keeps them from slipping/shifting?

Thanks!

The Clear Vinyl ones are shaped identical to the carpet mats. The All Weather Mats are rubber and are designed to anchor on the same anchors are the carpet mats.
