Lexusfreak Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Who here has winter mat's for their ES & what brand are they (if you know....WeatherTech, no name, etc) & where did you get them? I tried to get a beige set of 'Lexus' winter mat's, but the Lexus dealer(s) said they are only available in black (at least in Canada) Not exactly a great colour combo considering the salt in the winter. I like & have used WeatherTech classic premium mats in the past (had a grey set for my Maxima, but now they are seeing duty in my wife's Forester as they are a perfect match) so I have them on my short list, but before I make that decision, I thought I would at least ask. Not intrested in anything Canadian Tire sells btw as most of their mat's are simply garbage. If anybody has any other suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Toysrme Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I don't (have winter mats), but I've also got WeatherTech mats in the F150 (The rubber kind with huge lips, but carpet on them too). Weathertech Weather Flectors too! Those things are the freaking bomb! WeatherTech is good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) ← I was in search of the perfect winter mat and ordered "Highland" floor mats that were tan, but when I finally recieved them, the rubber was extremely flimsy and soft, so I went with the Weathertech. They sell those at the dealer also...for good reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexusfreak Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 I've noticed that Highland, Husky & WeatherTech seem to be the 'big 3' if you will for aftermarket rubber floor mat choices.......any other opinions on these (or others) are appreciated. :) Also heard that Michelin now offers a line of automotive accessories now including rubber floor mats....unfortunately from the pics I have seen, they look rather cheap.

mburnickas Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I have OEM mats. One for winter and one for summer. I had these plastic/rubber mats in my truck when I had them; Nice mats (for sow/water) till they got wet, slippery as all hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzdnkonfzd Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have a set of Rubbermaid mats that are real thick rubber, with a tough cloth on them too, i have had a drink in the car spilled on them, made for easy clean up. They were fairly cheap too, like 20 bucks for 4 mats, fit well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
