This ties in with the "All-weather floor mats" thread on this forum, but this post includes photos of the front and rear all-weather floor mats Lexus has just made available for the CT200h.
On the other thread I mentioned that I had ordered custom-fit, all-weather mats for my CT from a vendor I found on the Internet because they were not available from Lexus. Another forum member immediately posted a reply with a link to the website below that showed Lexus all-weather mats were in fact available. The price was $89 — twenty dollars under the $109 MSRP price.

I placed a call to this vendor and learned that Lexus had made them available within the past week. But rather than purchase them from this vendor and have to wait for the UPS truck and pay both tax and shipping (I live in the same state as the vendor), I went to my dealer yesterday and spoke with the parts guy about the Lexus mats.
Bottom line, he ordered the mats for me and honored the $89 discount price that the Internet vendor was asking. I received a phone call this morning from the dealer advising that they were in. After I picked them up and brought them home I shot some pics (below) of the mats both in and out of my CT for those who might be interested to see what they look like.
Even though my dealer isn't one of those who sells Lexus parts and accessories at discount over the Internet like a few others do, honoring the LexusPartsWorld price of $89 for the $109 all-weather mats didn't seem to be a problem. That might or might not be the case with other dealers as well. Wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone is interested in picking up a set.
The front mats do not fit over the carpeted mats that come with the CT, which is fine with me. I plan to store the carpeted mats and reinstall them when I know they won't be subject to rain and mud.
Fortunately, I was able to successfully cancel the order for the non-Lexus custom mats I ordered over the Internet a few days ago.
I'm much happier with these Lexus mats because of the eyelets in the front two that allow them to be locked to the floor.
(The reason for the flat spot on the passenger mat on the right rear in the first two photos is because the mat was inverted when I set it down.)
