I'll also vote for good trunk mats.
I am baffled as to why no one has stepped up to offer those.  People are asking for them constantly!
Dave Walden was supposed to be working on reproducing those a couple years ago.  I heard that he claims he had correct material etc sourced but canceled the project because he didn't get enough commitment to purchase them when he did an announcement he was going to take advanced orders.
I never heard anything about advanced orders and I was ready to buy 3 Challenger trunk mats.  I've talked to a number of other Mopar guys who were anxiously awaiting his release of trunk mats.
Very disappointed about that.  :walkaway:

I had one from Dales Cuda shop that I sold a couple years ago at the Alabama swap meet. Never installed it, but boy was it beautiful!

Agreed! Its actually rather impressive given how little was re-produced 10-15 years ago.

You mean this???

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1971-CHALLENGER-CONVERTIBLE-BOOT-WELL-MOLDING-TRIM-/311540512115?fits=Model%3AChallenger&hash=item488942f573:g:DsIAAOSwZkJUSjtF&vxp=mtr#ht_1509wt_1124

I have a spare original set as well if you prefer.



YES! Thank you! I thought nobody made them. Been looking with no luck. I ordered one, actually, I got excited and klicked the link, ordered right away, then, after ordering,  I read that you had an extra set, have to see if the creditcard goes thru, usually there is problems because I have a US card, with my old US address, shipping to a friend in Texas, and I live in Sweden now, BofA credit department do not like this setup, gives me problems every time. Is yours in good condition?

The set I have is good but it will need polishing. It also may have a ding or two. For the money you can't beat the Metro reproductions that you ordered. They are very nice and ready to bolt on right out the package. You're much better off with them then restoring a set. I have no problem holding onto the set of originals I have. If fact I ordered a new set for my Cuda convertible instead of reusing my cuda originals.
