A friend of mine just purchased a 69 RS/Z28 that has undergone a extensive restoration.The company that did it has a trunkmat for it,but didn't install it, because they said it should of been part of a decor or conveinece package that would of also included hood insulation,eng compartment light & a glovebox lamp, & that unless you were going to install all the parts of the package it was best to leave the mat out (install all or nothing) Does this sound correct? It is cowl induction hood if that makes a difference.Thanks

Trunk mat was part of the Z87- custom/deluxe interior option. That included sound deadening in the trunk and trunk mat as well.

Factory ZL2 included the Hood Insulation whether the car has dlx interior or not. If it was a std flat hood car with standard interior it would not have hood insulation.

If you want the trunk mat install the trunk mat. I have an original one in my standard interior Z/28 because I like trunk mats.

They also tend to trap moisture underneath. I never have stored cars with the rubber mat in place.

Probably hard to return it to original if it's been restored, right?

Guess what I meant was to have only the equipment it was built with originally(not add parts it wasn't built with)& to make sure it does have everything that it is suppossed to (hood insulation).

----I think what guys here are saying is that a trunkmat isnt permanent. It can be pulled out in a matter of seconds for a show or whatever. A trunkmat does help keep the trunk floor in nice condition and saves it from scratches, which would devalue a nice resto or just plain look nasty!......Bill S
