We are on the gulf coast it rains a lot here every year 70" + they work fine to keep the mat under them clean and dry. Have never had a spilled drink to clean up, However, did have a sick child in our 330 was that a lot of fun to clean up while on a trip but they keep the mats clean during that mess.

My set of black OEM Lexus mats came in from Sewall today (see above posts about a sale on these mats) and they match the set that came with the 450h. In fact they can be installed right over the original mats and still be able to use the clips that hold them in place.

Yikes!!
I purchased a relatively inexpensive (but, very nice & plush) set of aftermarket black carpet mats for my 450h. They look very nice (better than the original mats). I just put them over the regular grey Lexus mats when someone is using that spot in the car. Since they were cheap $25 -$40 (I really didn't pay that much attention). I do not have to worry about them and can replace them at the first sign of wear.
I also have a roll of plastic sheeting which is sticky on one side. It is designed to temporarily protect your carpeting. I will put it on my mats, door sills and lower part of my door when I take my car in for service. I will also use it if for any reason I want to protect my car temporarily.
I have a full set of the WeatherTech floor liners that I can put in my Subaru Outback for tough conditions. But,I typically use the regular mats there on daily basis. They are pretty reasonable to replace.
If you don't protect the mats they will become disgustingly dirty pretty quickly. I purchased a new set of mats for my daughters ES and was amazed at how fast they became ruined.

In Canada we get two sets of Lexus floor mats with the car, carpet ones for the summer and rubber ones for the other nine months of the year. Both sets have holes in them to attach to the hooks which prevent slipping. The Lexus mats come with big warning labels telling owners not to put them on top of other mats.

Isn't this why the California State trooper lost control of the loaner ES he was driving that started the whole Toyota/Lexus out of control recall scandal? Never, ever, put mats on top of other mats in the driver's position. They can slip, get wedged under the gas pedal and you can wipe out your whole family if you don't immediately put the car in neutral and then apply the brakes.

Just got my new Lexus rubber mats from Sewell the other day, and just in time we're expecting snow here in Virginia today! Of course I removed my OEM carpet mats first!
Since I'm the only passenger in my car, no problems with food and drink, however, if I should have a passenger they will just have to be hungry and thirsty as these are considered contriband in my baby! lol
