So my new Lexus NX PHEV is finally arriving next week and I need to get some good floor mats before winter hits here in Oregon. I am torn between the OEM Lexus all-weather mats and TuxMat. The OEM ones are around $170 and fit perfectly I assume, but TuxMat has way better coverage for $200. My budget is strictly under $250. My logic was that OEM is safer, but TuxMat looks way more premium and easier to clean when the kids spill stuff. Which one should I go with?

Honestly, id stick with the Lexus OEM All-Weather Floor Mats. They fit perfectly and you know they wont slide around near the pedals, which is a big safety thing for me. The TuxMat Custom Car Mats look nice and cover everything, but they can be a bit much to install. If you want a middle ground, WeatherTech FloorLiner HP is super durable and reliable, though maybe a bit utilitarian. I still prefer the OEM safety.

@Reply #1 - good point! Safety near the pedals is super important, but I politely disagree about sticking just to OEM. I had the same debate for my NX and ended up going a different route that works incredibly well. You should check out the 3D MAXpider KAGU All-Weather Floor Liners. I have been using them for a year now and have absolutely no complaints. Here is why they might fit your needs better:
- Grip and Safety: They use a patented backing that grips the carpet fibers like velcro. They literally do not budge, so you do not have to worry about pedal interference.
- Premium Look: They have a clean, textured finish that looks way classier than the basic rubber OEM mats, but they are not as bulky or difficult to tuck in as TuxMat.
- Cleaning: Super easy to clean. You just pull them out, hose them down, and they dry almost instantly. Perfect for dealing with wet Oregon winters. If you want another solid option under your budget, the WeatherTech FloorLiner HP series is also great. They upgraded the material so they are much softer and fit the contours of the NX perfectly without warping. Both options keep you well under that $250 limit.

Agreed with the aftermarket route. My non-OEM liners have been great for three winters. Tips for saving:
- Buy during holiday sales
- Check forum classifieds No complaints so far.

To add to the point above: I am in the exact same boat right now and it is driving me crazy. My NX delivery is in two weeks and I have been staring at tabs of both options for a month without pulling the trigger. Here is my struggle:
- The safety aspect of the OEM mats slipping is a huge worry for me, especially with the accelerator pedal clearance.
- TuxMat covers everything, but I have read some reviews saying they can block the seat tracks or slide if the clips pop off.
- Oregon rain is no joke, so reliable waterproofing is a must, but I cant decide if the extra TuxMat coverage is worth the risk of a weird fit. Still got no clue what to buy tbh.
