1. Weathertech digital fit mats are the best IMO. You can get the same mats with the Mercedes branding on it for $160 for 1st and 2nd row.

2. DO NOT get the Run-Flat. It will ruin the ride quality and tire longevity significantly. I had it on my '12 GL and will never again get it. I personally hate it.

3. I got mud guards for the front and rear, helps keep the car clean for me specially since I have white.

This.

We have the Almond Beige MB-Tex interior so the OEM MB mats (Mocha) looked better than than the Weathertech (Tan) for rows 1-2 (IMHO).

With a black or grey interior I think the color match would be less of an issue with Weathertech in black. The Weathertech 3rd row mat I purchased on the recommendation of this forum fits perfectly and I am quite pleased with both the MB and Weathertech mats.

All Mercedes come with unlimited roadside assistance. So no worries there.

I wouldn't suggest run-flats for reasons previously stated.

Hey asp55944, I'm in Houston and looking at a GL350 as well. Mercedes-Benz of Clear Lake has had a GL350 for a while, and Mercedes-Benz of Houston Greenway just got one in stock. I'm guessing you drove the white one in Clear Lake?

Who did you end up ordering from?
