So this past weekend I learned the limitations of the OEM rear cargo mat.
I needed to fold up ONE rear seat since we were hauling an extra little one - but I still needed to keep my snowboard gear poking through the second row middle seat.
Basically, if you need to fold up one or both of the 3rd row seats - and have the cargo mat installed - it becomes incredibly cumbersome and a huge pain in the ass. Your only choice is to remove it, and if you're say, in a parking lot with a full load... there aren't a lot of places to put it.
I set out to buy a new folding cargo mat today, and lo and behold...... nada. I am absolutely floored by this. How did Lexus not make a cargo mat for a car where EVERY model has split folding 3rd row seats? Even the 4Runner has an optional folding mat, even though the 3rd row seats are a (comparatively) rare option:
It seems like the only option out there for the GX460 is the Canvas Back Liners:

The design is there, but I'm not a big fan of canvas. I'd much rather stick to rubber and I happen to work with a company that can make rubber floor mats if the interest is there.
SO, my question is - would anyone be interested in a rubber, folding mat for the rear of their GX? If so, let me know if you have dual or three zone climate control and what color you'd be interested in (black, tan or grey). I'll start...
mattgold - Three Zone Climate / Tan

Lexus GX Cargo Liner
This cargo liner covers the cargo area and goes up the back of the 3rd seat and back of the 2nd. Comes in 3 or 4 pieces.
