pedah3 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I have looked at Weathertech, Husky, and a couple of others that are more"carpet" like rather than the rubber ones. Just wondering people's experience and happiness with various mats? Color matching? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strindl Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I bought the all weather floor mat set from my Lexus dealer last fall, so I wouldn't get the nice carpeted ones all gunked up with winter slush and salt. The color match is perfect, and they are of a very high quality. They also have a very spiffy Lexus logo on them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedah3 Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I also have the Lexus all-weather mats, but Lexus does not make a mat for the rear cargo area. If they made one, I would buy it. My dealer stocks the "husky" mats for the back, but if going aftermarket, there are lots of options and wonder if anyone has tried any of the other aftermarket brands.

gxed Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Im a big fan of the plastic ones, had one in the 4-Runner and will be ordering for the GX soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowabunga Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I have the weathertech one. It is great. Fits perfectly ← Anyone try these? How's the fit and quality. According to the description, they are a custom fit and matching colors. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/floormats4less/caprflprreca.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
074XG Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I have a weather tech also and it fits perfect and seems very strong and durable. Got mine at the dealership. $109. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellsplace Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I have the weathertech mat for the rear as well. Seems a little flimsly compared to the Husky brand which I had in my previous SUV. Color match is good though. Also have the Lexus all-weather mats for the cabin, which are pretty much useless for Upstate New York weather. Am replacing with aftermarket ones which have a lip on them. I buy my parts on Ebay when I can as there are a couple of Lexus dealerships that sell 'genuine' Lexus parts there. I've had great service, save a bundle and have them delivered right to my door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-N Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I have looked at Weathertech, Husky, and a couple of others that are more"carpet" like rather than the rubber ones. Just wondering people's experience and happiness with various mats? Color matching? Thanks ← I've purchased Huskyliners (front to back) for my last four vehicles. They are the best, in my opinion. Summit Racing has great pricing, http://www.summitracing.com. You can obtain part numbers and view information/specs for Lexus vehicles at http://www.huskyliners.com/lexusapps.html. By the way, their floor mats are great at keeping water, mud, snow and everything else off your carpet. The second row mat is one continuous piece, which is the best design I've found, especially if you have kids. The color match is reasonably close, depending on interior color, I have the dark grey interior in my GX and my Huskyliners are somewhat lighter in color, but they look fine. The tan is a very close match (that's what I had in my RX330). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 i personally think, those WeatherTech mats are not bad. Never had them ( cuz i make my own carpet liner on my cars) but from the looks of them on the magazine, no one could tell that it's aftermarket (aside from it missing the "Lexus" logo on it-if it has one) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went in with NO problems (but I did have to trim the cut-outs for the cargo net latches). I also have the 3rd seat option, but did not cut out those areas. I am going to take a guess, but if it did not fit, I would presume that they did NOT send you the correct mat at all. They probably had some kind of inventory mixup.

caha14 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Lexus is now making a cargo liner for the GX, although many dealers still don't know about it. Anyway, I went to a local dealer to check it out, thinking of repacing the Weathertech liner that I have in the truck, and I wasn't impressed. It's too "plasticky" (as opposed to "rubbery" like the Weathertech), and the grey one is not even grey like the interior of the truck. It's black because it's supposed to match the step on the rear bumper. Go figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiasfinest Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 how bout the plastic ones where ther have teeth on the bottom and grip your carpet..they are usually used in a home office for the rolly chairs but they seem pretty protective..(wont tear the carpet and water proof..not 2 mention very cheap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverGX Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Isnt the one from Lexus a husky or similar. When brought mine from the dealer parts man said this in not from Lexus.

SilverGX Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I read your post The one lexus (here) is selling does not have the Lexus emblem. If lexus was making one I'm sure they would have emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to www.lexus-parts.com and look it up, or search for "gx470 cargo" on ebay. It does say Lexus on it, but like I said, I went to check it out and didn't like it, which is a shame, because I really wanted it (I'm a sucker for all accessories that say Lexus on them). Here's an excerpt of an email reply from a parts manager, dated 6/29/05: Yes, this new mat was release approximately 4 weeks ago to all Lexus Dealers. I can only imagine some dealers have yet to change there inventory since I'm sure most of them have an existing stock of WeatherTech mats. The new mat is very nice as it gives you the option to have the 3rd row seating with the cutouts or not. And best of all, it has the Lexus logo on the mat!

SilverGX Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 That is Sewell of Dallas Big Dealership. Sure they would be one of the first. I almost brought my lexus from them but a long story. Did call about having a mat set sent from them but just went locally. I read your post The one lexus (here) is selling does not have the Lexus emblem.
