Title: Correct Trunk Matt 70 GT350?
Post by: Fastback66 on October 22, 2018, 11:14:24 AM
What does the correct trunk matt look like for a 70 GT350? I've seen a few versions out there. Can anyone recommend a quality repo?

+1   The reproductions have more of a tan background where the originals had a grey background...Also the repros have a shiny appearance while the originals had a more flat appearance. The repros are very obvious.   :(

And really... how difficult would it be to make them correctly ? less shiny and the proper greyish background?

Obviously more difficult than the manufacturer can manage   ::)

If it were easy then everyone would have one.

Honestly there are not too many vendors that make things correctly.

And now for the jaded old man comments

If I had a nickel everytime someone that wanted a part, made that comment I would be a rich man

I agree with Corbins. +1. I may be needing a good quality repro in the not-too-distant future, myself!
