Trunk Mats
Do you keep a trunk mat in your car? I tend to avoid it since they can trap moisture and encourage rust. I usually throw down some cardboard when I'm carrying items in the back. But I do like the look of the houndstooth pattern and the added protection over the splatter paint. My original mat has pretty much disintegrated and I'm trying to decide if I should order a replacement or not.

Running one in my '67 which has a rough-ish trunk, and none in my '65 which has a mint trunk. Moisture would be due to a leaky car or high humidity. I have neither. In NC, where you are, the humidity can be pretty high. I like the looks and sound deadening of the mat, but you should pull it out at intervals and check underneath. My 2 cents......

If they ever reproduce a thicker quality mat like the oem then yes,
however IMO the current offerings are garbage and I would say don't bother unless your showing your car off.

I'm going without then for now. My trunk paint is original (pontiac build) and I have one small area that needs touched up. Any chance the GM rattle can (Aqua black) would blend in ok or do I need to reshoot with a spray gun? I've seen a lot of controversial posts on this but thought I'd ask since I don't want to repaint the whole trunk.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
