Re: Trunk Mat 1959 red

Did you try Al Knoch interiors? Never heard of restoring an old one. What color?

Is Al not making them anymore or just out of stock?

I got a 1960 mat from Paragon, not sure who made it. But there is another manufacturer - Romeo Engineering. Below is their web site.

How does it stack up to an original? Have heard some not so good things about certain a certain vendor.

With more thought, I believe what Paragon sold, at least in 2012 when I bought the mat, must have been from Romeo. As I recall, Knoch was not making them back then. What I read/heard was that their mold was broken.

I lost 4 points for the Mat at Regional with a comment "backside should texture and needs manufacturer logo." I lost 3 points at National but I can't make out the comment.

So, I would say you will loose some points with the reproduction.
