The Lexus Fashion Workshop Features Original Designs Made Of Recyclable Lexus ...

Lexus asked four fashion designers for their take on automotive design that would be the basis of a new advertising campaign to appear in Vogue magazine. Known as the Lexus Fashion Workshop, these designers took the some of the more than 2,000 individual parts of a completely dismantled Lexus CT hybrid and repurposed them into wearable works of art.

Each of the innovative fashion designers bring something different to the table with their take on the beauty of recyclying. Moss Lipow used a transmission starter and exhaust manifold gasket for his head-turning creation, “Environmental Crown of Virtue.” Jewelry designer Eddie Borgo used valve lifters, crank bearings and hose clamps for “The Valve Collection,” while John Patrick used floor mats, leather seat covers and cargo covers for a sleek trench coat, shorts and clutch ensemble titled “Nomadic Sanctuary.” And putting his best foot forward, Alejandro Ingelmo used armrest leather trim and clear plastic tubing for “The Luna Shoe.

I always find it surprising when you see someone who spends an enormous amount of time, effort, and money on keeping up the appearance of their vehicle's exterior paint, trim and tires, but for whatever reason, they neglect cleaning the car's interior.

I live in Vancouver, a city infamous for gray skies and more than its fair share of rainfall. As a result, Vancouverites track an awful lot of water, muck and debris into their cars and onto the floor mats and carpeting. This is a huge problem, as damp carpeting will eventually begin to smell as food and organic wastes deposit on the surface, get ground in by your shoes, and facilitate the growth of mould. The combination of moisture and the captured particles and stones promote carpet wear, and in some cases, the formation of rust on the surfaces below. Many consumers try to tackle this problem by purchasing rubber floor mats from the local big box store, but these generic offerings tend to be ill-fitting, cumbersome, and in reality, poor performing....

Toyota Camry OEM Floor Mats | Fast Car Design

Isn’t going to be high as compared to the work that will be put into trying to make the old mats look new.

Camry floor mats have the often unappreciated job of protecting the vehicle’s carpet from permanent stains thus maintaining the vehicle’s re-sale value.

Replacing the existing Camry mats with brand new mats will not only improve upon the looks of old mats, even after they are thoroughly cleaned, but they may even offer a better protection for the car’s interior. Old floor mats will experience some wear and tear over time and may lose some of their protective properties. New OEM floor will protect the interior better because they are brand new. Even after cleaning, old mats may still display some visible stains. New OEM floor mats will have no stains at all because they have never been used.
