I have used Exact clear mats in my vehicles for several years and they are extremely wear worthy and saves the carpet. Even use them in the cargo area. No slippage and no wear on the carpet but yet you can see the beautiful new carpet beneath.

Alright, I'm just going to keep the original mats in there and not do any add-ons; I will replace if needed. I am trying not to get obsessive about my RX and keeping it perfect but I just noticed yesterday that there are some creases in the leather driver's seat that are not occurring on the passenger seat so I will now be looking for a leather conditioner or I expect in worse case scenario I could replace the seat.

thanks for reminding me to switch from the carpet mats to the OEM plastic mats for winter.

Thanks for this tip ... I just picked up a set.

I think it ends with the aftermarket mats (although I just ordered a set of Lexus mats to protect my original Lexus mats). For me it is not about protecting the mats ... or saving the mats for later ... or the cost of the mats. I like to keep my interior clean and I can just take the top level of protection off when it is not needed. This allows me to drive around in a perfectly clean car with perfectly clean carpeting/mats. If people are riding with me, I can just put down mats and I don't have to worry (and my passengers do not have to worry) about anything. Logically, the plastic mat coverings some owners are using would be even better from a clean point of view. But, in the past I have found that plastic reduces the luxury vibe in the car. Not everyone will care about keeping their car this clean ... the standard mats will be fine for them.

Ditto for me too. I picked up an extra set so that in the winter I can pull out the wet and frozen ones to wash out in the basement and use the 2nd set while the first set dries.

Now if only the damn car would come.... LOL.

the RXh has differently designed floor mats, just a warning.

Are you sure about this ... Sewell is using the same part number for black OEM mats on both the 2010 RX350 & 450h? I will report back after I receive them.

Good point ... Toyota would not support stacking mats and common sense would recommend not stacking mats if you can not keep track of their position. They can not get in front of your gas pedal or tangled up with the gas pedal and become a hazard. It is not an issue for me, but I would agree that for many people it would be bad idea. For example, I would not stack mats in my wife's car.

EDIT: After going out and looking at the clearances on the mats and pedals, I would say stacking mats has about a zero chance of being a problem in the RX. The clearances are just to great. I have owned cars, like my Lexus SC, where it would be an issue because of the lack of space around the pedal.

If you live in the north where winter weather can be hard on the floor mats, it is a good idea to put in the carpet saver mats that hold the water and help to keep salt from the roads and gravel out of the carpets. I regularly shampoo the mats and they come out looking great.
Cheers,

That is what my dealer told me because I bought my plastic mats from them and while they had ones for the RX350 in stock, they had to order me the ones for the 450h

I went through Sewell Lexus and ordered the rubber floor mats and the rubber trunk mat for my RX 450h. With the Club Lexus discount, the prices were quite reasonable. I put the rubber trunk mat right over the accessory trunk mat, but took out the stock carpet floor mats before putting down the rubber mats. The carpet mats stored nicely in the rubber floor mat shipping box. I put down the rubber floor mats well before the winter weather sets in. This may sound a little obsessive, but it will keep all of the carpet mats in great shape, without having to put major effort into cleaning them after they are dirty and salt encrusted.

I purchased rubber floor mats for my gf's RX350 as well. Of course I didn't stack them on top of carpet mats, just put them in storage. my gf and her girls spill water and all kind of stuff in car so that would be a good protection.

Cruiter

It's a nice car. If somebody was that careless consistently, they'd be riding in another car consistently

No disrespect for your GF or daughters but ..... Respecting your property seems in order. Just me

huanhb

yeah I do keep my car pretty clean but that's her car, I can't do much. That's why I put rubber floor mats to at least make it easier for cleaning up.
