Default The search for floor mats

Hi all,

Just picked up a 2000 z28 vert... trying to get her dialed in.

Anyone know where to pick up rear floor mats that actually fit? I went ahead and picked up a set of SLP "SS" front mats, because I really like the cat-hump feature on the passenger SLP mats... but I'm left without stock rears...

Really a bit of a perfectionist and am looking for OEM's rear only in the nuetral color, not just something that's "close" like from eBay.

Any tips would be appreciated. Again, only need rears.

Why haven't you checked your nearest dealer? Yeah, it'll be a rip-off, but you want OEM.

I got a set of original floor mats from the dealer... I went in expecting to pay 100+ bucks or so. They were only 40-50 bucks for all four. not bad really.

I ended up ordering a used set from Billy Graham's or whatever. $45 shipped for a set, but I don't have them yet, hopefully they will be nice.

I dug and dug and dug and found the oem PN... which a dealer told me was discontinued... thus the start of the search.

Is there a new PN??? Maybe you got lucky and they had some in stock by some fluke, or maybe my dealer just doesn't know wtf is up. Sets pop up on eBay, but with it being a vert... makes it that much harder.

The factory mats in these cars are really nice. Much better quality than what GM is using these days.

Babble babble babble.

Got the rims, catback, and lid on now. Mats and she's done for awhile.

The used ones I got from Billy Graham's sucked. I knew they were used, but I figured they'd only sell nice ones. Mine were pretty color worn and one had a cig burn. But, the backs were ok, and those are the ones I needed.

For the money though I would have been a lot better off waiting for an eBay pair.

And no, the shelf is to small to use a deck mat on a vert. Have the factory vert deck mat embroidered if you want something custom. Most sports stores or other such places will do it for pretty reasonable prices.
