GLI Monster Floor Mats

VW intended for one to be completely unmistaken about what kind of car you’re riding in when they branded the GLI/GTI. From embossed lettering in the leather headrests to branded door sills and steering wheel badge to the badges on the rear and front of the car, when you’re inside a GLI/GTI, you know it. It was no surprise that an uproar of disgruntled GLI owners voiced their disappointment when GTI branded monster mats started showing up everywhere but no GLI ones were to be found. This suddenly and mysteriously changed one day and VW started selling specific GLI branded Monster Mats. Was the voice of the people heard? Or were they planning on releasing them all along? Hard to say.

The mats are a no brainer addition to the car if one wishes to keep the exterior theme and carry it inside. The characteristic grille honeycomb pattern is present on the mats, and they carry the GLI badge in embossed red letters, matching the font used for the rest of the badges in the car. In my opinion, they look great in the car and should be a stock component but some people prefer carpeted mats, which the car does come stock with. I think the level of protection they give the interior and the lack of maintenance they need are worth it alone.
