Customize your mats

Find your car carpet bland? GG Bailey's Design Your Mat lets you personalize the floor, cargo and trunk coverings

June 27, 2005

It takes a special person to truly appreciate a custom-made premium car mat. Some people love cars. Then there are people who love the way cars look. The latter appreciate the fine, esthetic details of the interior and exterior. The former could not care less about the fabric beneath their feet - what matters is under the hood.

Perhaps both groups can learn to appreciate GG Bailey's Design Your Mat, a service that lets consumers customize their car floor, cargo and trunk mats to their exact specifications. The company Web site features a great tool to help users select options while previewing the end product before purchasing.

A bevy of logos, colours and graphics will appease even the most narrow of tastes. This may not be a product that Type-A macho car buffs will dream about, but it might make an innovative and welcome gift for them nevertheless.
