Well I have a few issues with what I've seen from everyone so far:

First off the material is wrong from all vendors so far, which for me is the easiest to live with but with some research could likely be improved.

The second is the pattern match to original, which isn't even close. Modern printing technology and a little effort should result in a far better end result.

Then there's die cut, which IMO is inexcusable, if you start with an original, even a torn up one, matching the die cut would be the easiest to match.

I agree with you 100%, I for the life of me can't understand after all the effort that these companies put into repo products they can't go the extra 1% and get it right. I have that horrible REM mat in my Road Runner right now, and the Burtex from Acc isn't right either, but compared to that POS I have it's a big improvement. I'd about pay the big money to get a NOS one. This is for most of the things we buy for our cars. I finally have brake lines that don't leak after going through all three brands on the market.

I bought a tan plaid (for my '67) from Legendary 20 years ago. It's held up well and fit the filler tube and jack mounts fine. Can't speak to the originality of the colors or material. I'll see if I have a photo -remind me if I forget.
