Has anyone purchased the clear plastic "poured like original" floor mats from Corvette Pacifica ? If so, how do you find them to be ? Would be interested in hearing from someone who has truly original ones as to whether these repros are actually close to the originals.

From Corvette Pacifica website

Floor mats were never a factory added option. GM-approved clear mats with a bowtie logo were sold OTC by Chevy dealer parts departments before the end of the C2 production run. Floor mats are not a judged item. All that being said, I have used the rubber reproduction mats in Black, clear, and red. They work and fit very well, and stay laying on the floor, and will not curl up like plastic/vinyl. The clear mats will turn yellow/brown in a year or so.

Thx Mike. Is there a supplier of the rubber mats that you prefer or are they all the same just being sold by the usual parts houses ?

I think that they are all made by the same manufacturer but I haven't bought any in years. With all the Chinese crap coming into the country, I would be cautious of a extremely low price, and I would only buy from one of the corvette only vendors. It looks like the going price for the clear mats is about $75. Corvette Pacifica has them on sale for about $70

I have tried 3 or 4 different clear mats and, yes they all turned color within a year. I gave up and went to black mats which look great in my car.

Take care,

Thx for your input Steve.

Where did you get your black mats from ?

I got them from Mid America Motorworks. Catalog #647-245.

They’re 4 years old. Here’s a couple of pictures. The last picture is my collection of clear mats that turned yellow.
