My GS could do with a new set of mats. I still have the original Lexus ones which came with the car 140,000 miles ago!

Where can I find mats of comparable heavy quality? Lexus GB now show this as an obsolete item.

Search e-bay for 'Lexus GS300 Mats' and bingo!

I had some custom made by www.carmats4u.com They sent me some templates that I had to change slightly for a perfect fit.
I sent the templates back and they then produced the mats for me. Absolutely spot on and superb quality!!!

That was 6 months ago. I've just bought another MK1 Sport and so need another set. I'm in the process of sorting it out now.
Have a word with chrisconway@uniqueproducts.com who is sorting them out for me. Not sure why he's got a different adddress
to carmats4u but hey - who cares!

Thanks guys.

I'm a great believer in e-bay but those on offer seem to be thin velour rather than OEM carpet quality.

I'll follow through on Jemster's advice.

Does that mean they could use the template you did? What sort of price were they?

Arrived today and they're superb - perfect fit!!

Post some pics up, be nice to see the qaulity of them. I jetwashed, hand shampoo'd and lathered my 122k original mats and they have come up amazingly well. Should really get pics (car care geek) Perhaps some originals from breakers could be saved?

That's where I found my cream mats - in a breakers office covered with oil and dirt!

A hard day's wet-vacuuming and cleaning and they're fine
