Yes, of course.  The floormats for the Type 82 Diesel are typical of the
diesel powerplant vehicles.  Anything from the VW diesel line is much
superior to comparable items on a gas powered vehicle, without
exception.  Even the floormats, built to withstand the rigors of 52 horses
pulling and straining with the fury of all they can do, are of a quality
unmatched in a motor vehicle to date.  Fuel proof, flame proof, even light
armor proof, and obviously super strong, these mats are a hybrid of woven
fiber threads bonded in space service (astronaut) duty rubber
compounds.  Each contains high pressure tested ribbing, and a surface
friction coefficient three times that of the standard wimply gas burner
versions.  Gas is for pansies anyways.  I am a diesel man, always have
been, always will be.  Diesel flows in my blood, and the smell is like a
breath of fresh air to my nostrils.  I bought an extra OEM set of mats in
case mine ever wore out.  Little on the pricey side, but they are
guaranteed forever.  Seriously, that's what the warranty says on the
underside, "4EVER."   In fact, these mats are so strong I think they are
identical to the ones used in the Apollo missions.  VW had the contract to
produce those, you may recall.  But this set I have is a special order
version with a kind of unique inlay of "1982 Bitchin' Diesel" embossed on
the ribbing in stainless Aeroquip hose wrap.  Its just the coolest thing
you've ever seen!  They cost me $164.00 each, x 4.  I guess I could sell
them for my cost since I can rely on the guarantee that I will never ever
need another set of mats.  You can pay with HEYPAL.
