Need floor mats

Does anyone know where to buy new reproduction floor mats for 3rd Gen Transams? I have an 87 TA with blueish grey interior.
Do the 4th Gen. floor mats work? Gm has discontiued the mats for my 87.

Try ACC (Auto Custom Carpets, IIRC).

Perry Pam sells the NOS thirdgen mats very affordably.

4th gen mats will fit nicely (I have a set in my IROC right now), but getting a good color match might be tough.

There are also plenty of aftermarket options, such as ACC like JamesC mentioned, the mats I carry, and Lloyd Mats. The ACC mats and my mats are available with the vinyl binding that looks just like stock. The only real difference between that style mat and stock would be the absence of the GM logo. The Lloyd mats are a nicer mat, but they also cost a lot more, and their material doesn't match the stock carpet (or any aftermarket carpet for that matter).

I bought floor mats through Perry Pam, but they are not correct for a '92 camaro (I'm assuming firebird mats are the same shape?). The front mats are symmetrical, instead of being distinctly drivers/passenger. They look to be the generic mats that may have been in cavaliers and such.

Not that I'm complaining - they do look sharp, but just wanting to give you a head's up.

depends on your idea of "reproduction". They sell aftermarket ACC mats, which should offer a stock-like appearance except without the GM logo.

ACC will customize. I added IROC-Z in silver thread.

Did the stock ones have the GM logo?!? My car must not have the factory mats if they don't.

Near the top of the mat, centered left to right was a small rubber square with the GM logo in it.

Here's a pic of some generic GM mats. The dark spots on the upper parts of the mats is the square GM logo:


Likewise, here's a pic of one of my Pontiac mats with the embroidered logo:

Dang it. No wonder my mats have a wear hole in them, they're not even stock. Thanks for the info Jim.

I got these at autozone, they fit nice but I don't think they are what you are looking for.

No. The top pic I posted is the OEM mat. I posted the lower pic to show what's available in terms of aftermarket fit/finish.
