The Fiero Store mats are already a copy, as are probably 99% of all aftermarket mats, for any car.

TFS sells GM licensed floor mats.  Not exactly a copy.

The other aftermarket mats are various and sundry.  Not very similar at all.  Some just traced the floor.  Some have contours.  I actually bought a bunch of sets for comparison.  I have a set of stock mats in the original packaging, 2 slightly different sets from TFS, and 9 other new sets, as well as 2 used sets from different years.  I don't have a set of Indy mats, yet.

Some of the mats I do have fit better than others, and there was a particular reason why...

No.  I wanted to know which was best, so I bought a mat from each vendor.  Some mats are the same, but sold through different places.  I did not purchase duplicates, except TFS.  It was going to be a newsletter article, but I decided against it.

Actually, one of the sets is borrowed.  The owner would not sell them to me.

I found my Fiero floor mats in the garage to take a  look at them. I still need to find some craft paper. The mats don't seem to have been made with a lot of precision. The passenger side is 1" longer than the driver side, and the cuts are not exactly the same.

I made a trunk shelf for my 87 GT. I used 1/2 inch plywood stiffened on the bottom with scrap pieces of wood.  I covered it with vinyl from a local fabric store. I can trace it and send the tracing to you if you wish.

montegut,While I appreciate the offer, I am sure that trunk covers from a GT have different dimensions than a Notchie.
But thanks anyways.

The lower cover should be the same; however, the '87 has the cooling pipes, and the '88 does not.

Year for Year, notchback and fastbacks have the same trunk but as GTRS pointed out, the 88 varies a bit on the right side due to the elimination of the engine cooling fan.  The rest of it should be the same, though.

It should also vary on the trunk wall for the cooling tubes.

That area is higher up and wouldn't affect a shelf.

I thought so, but I was comparing some of the lower trunk coverx.  2 have a part that sticks further forward on the dtiver's side.  Since this was for a pre-'88, I have no other explanation.
