Those look much better than the beat-up ugly green floor mats.

I agree they look better than the green ones. Sorry I didn't see your thread about researching to find out what to replace them with or I would have chimed in with a X2 on Ron's (droptopron) post. I bought the OEM style repop mats for my car. They look different and are only available in black. They have the OLDSMOBILE letters molded into the rubber as well as the dimmer switch circle (which is an easy cutout). I will say they smell a lot till they've had time to air out.


Right now Parts place has both front and rears on sale for $175, which is the best price I've seen on them for awhile.

You do have the trunk mat to complete the look?

Thanks for the comments 👍 guys...
And no offense Allan, but I like the Cutlass mats better, and the Oldsmobile trunk mat is a bit too pricey for me...money I could put to better use if you know what I mean😀 .But, I did buy a trunk liner shortly after I bought my Cutlass, and although it's not factory correct, I like the hounds tooth pattern and the fact it protects my whole trunk...plus I'm not sure how the mat would work with the jack and spare tire setup.

Not a bad deal, I like the Cutlass ones as well. Much nicer than the green.

Dave, not offended at all. I was just chiming in late on my opinion of the other thread. I'm glad you are happy with the new mats. The trunk liner also looks really good. I would be tempted to leave it just as is if it were mine too. FYI if you ever do get the rubber OLDSMOBILE trunk mat, the area for the jack hook has a cutout pattern on the back to accommodate that.. Looking good my friend.

As always Allan, your opinion is valued and appreciated, and that's good to know about the trunk mat😀

How do your rear ones fit? I got mine from Fusick and they seem too big. They don't fit down inside the footwell. They go up on the sides.
That trunk mat looks nice but I'd worry about trapping moisture under it. I got a similar setup to the OP.
