Yes.

(Where ever you find some that you like?)

right, the important question is WHERE.

If you can still get them for an '01, the heavy rubber ones from the
dealership are hard to beat. That was the first purchase I made when I
got my '02 GTI (I'm kind of a pig)

Whereever you see some that you like! If you like factory ones, go to
a dealer, otherwise aftermarket is the way to go. Personally, for best
looking products like mats, OEM (factory) is the way to go.

I was thinking about going to the upholstery shop and having them make
me a new drivers side mat. Mine is threadbare. I would not do rubber
mats as they cannot be comfortable when driving barefoot. those rare
long roadtrips are much nicer when I can take off my shoes.

Check out Lloyd's mats, which can be found at:
www.autoseattle.com

The "Ultimats" are great--much better materials than OEM.

Another idea is a good carpet shop who is experienced in making throw
rugs. They have the equipment to hem the edges, and will make whatever
you want. If you have an existing one that you are replacing they can
use it for a template.

I have some new ones that I bought for my '01 Passat and never used. I ran
across them the other day when I was cleaning the garage. They are gray
carpet. If you are interested let me know and I'll see if I can figure out
a price.
