Floormats
While the stock floor mats in the WRX aren't bad, you might want something that will protect your carpet a little better. Luckily, there are a few great aftermarket options for WRX floor mats.
The 3D MAXpider floor mats for the Subaru WRX are made to perfectly fit your car's dimensions, designed by a 3D scan of the interior. They're made in a three-layer design to keep your floors protected and keep the mats in place.
The top layer, with its great-looking carbon fiber style texture, is made from a protective rubber, so any spills or water from your shoes won't make its way down to the floor. The bottom layer keeps the floor mats in-place like velcro, without damaging the carpet or leaving any marks. In the middle, there's a foam layer for increased comfort and sound deadening.
We highly recommend these floor mats for your Subaru WRX, with their perfect fit, great looks, and protective ability.
Weathertech is a very well known brand for their floormats and other interior protection accessories. These floor mats are another great and popular option. These floor mats have deeper walls than the 3D Maxpider floor mats, but the styling is plainer.
If you're expecting to go through a lot of mud or snow, these may be the better choice, if you want to protect the floor of your car as best as you can, at the cost of styling.
