92 Z28 Conv. trunk question

Looking at my recently purchased 92 Z's trunk, I notice there are no plastics, only a fuzzy finished carpet type material. Any insight on this? Is it what came in them. It's a 45,000 mile car that's supposed to be orig. Just wondering. Also there is an ACS sticker on the door, ????? Thank's in advance. Buckshot (Bill).

Mine has no plastics but you certainly can't go off my example. It looks like there never was though.

Re: 92 Z28 Conv. trunk question

Thank's, I appreciate the replies. Having never had a 3rd or 4th Gen Convertible before, I was curious. Still no idea why the ASC sticker on the door. Has a 3 in the VIN, so its a mystery to me. Thank's again, Bill.

Thank you. Being curious is heck. Been driving me nuts, and it's not that far a drive. Buckshot.

Re: 92 Z28 Conv. trunk question

That was a good question. I have a 92 z and it came with molded carpet instead of the plastic. I figured they were running out of plastic and since it was the last year they just cut a corner to save cost.

Re: 92 Z28 Conv. trunk question

ASC
1985 - 1991 - Hard Plastic Coupe pieces trimmed down.
1991 - 1992 - Cloth.

IIRC Around August-September of 1990 they got rid of the rear plastic pieces. From what I understand the early 1991 Camaro's got the plastic pieces when the Trans Am was introduced they just got rid of them altogether to save some weight.
