WTB - NOS opal arm rest pads, opal map pockets, trunk mat
Looking for NOS armrest pads in opal gray, NOS map pockets in opal, and a "trunk" mat new or used in great shape. The mat is the one that goes over the spare in the hatch cargo area, under the carpet. If anyone has any of these items and wants to part with them, let me know your price! I will take used OEM opal map pockets if they are in excellent shape, but no reproductions. I have not seen any of the reproduction that match the OEM color very well.

on the map pockets you may be able to tighten yours up? also i heard the reproductions were pretty nice.

Unfortunately I was stupid enough to actually put things in the drivers side map pocket back when I used the car as a daily driver, and the material has a hole worn in it.1993cobra wrote:on the map pockets you may be able to tighten yours up? also i heard the reproductions were pretty nice.
I have found two makers of reproduction map pockets - Acme and TMI. Acme's opal gray is not close. I received a sample swatch from them yesterday and it is too bluefish tinted and will make the door panel tricolored. Their photos also show that the folds that allow the pocket to expand are quite different than the OEM piece. TMI is a little better, but still it is quite noticeable as a replacement part when you look close. The TMI unit is better from a shape standpoint, but I keep hoping I can find a better color match!
The armrest pad reports are simply not available in opal, at least that I can find. Smoke gray is the closest I have found. My originals are not bad enough to replace them without a good color match. If anyone knows of a place that sells opal reproduction armrest pads, let me know!
The spare tire / hatch underlayment mat is something else I cannot find. I see them for the coupe trunk, but never for the hatchback cargo area. Again, if anyone knows where to find a reproduction for that mat, please let me know!
