Re: floor mats, where to get stock-looking ones?
Thanks, Looks like the 90 may have been the last year for the heel pad then.

Re: floor mats, where to get stock-looking ones?
Mine doesn't have a heel pad either. I'm reasonably certain they are original.

Re: floor mats, where to get stock-looking ones?
Will someone who is an original owner jump in here please. My 2 91s were bought in 95 and 96, both have black mats which I am pretty sure are original because both cars were really low mileage and the mats had normal wear. No heel pads on either one.
One possible explanation is the factory had more than one supplier ???

Re: floor mats, where to get stock-looking ones?
My red 1990 OEM set does not have a heel pad. It is a late MY car #2529.
I bought a set at Carlisle a year ago for my 1990 Charcoal car from the ACC vendor. Color match was real good. No heel pad. Had the velcro on the back. Think I paid about $65.00.

Re: floor mats, where to get stock-looking ones?
Fwiw, I'm not the O.O. of my 90, but I bought from the O.O. & the car had 7400 on it and my mats are what came with the car. No heal pad & velcro on the rear edges.
Who is that big name company? Lloyds? well I sprung for a set to save my OE mats and they wear out quickly right where your right heal rests. I'm not too happy about that in light of how much cash they cost. JMHO  Tom

Re: floor mats, where to get stock-looking ones?
The mats that came with my 90 had the integral pad identical to what Z Proud shows in post #5.
I have now tossed the mats (they were in rough shape) but have the part number somewhere at home - I believe it is a GM part number. Will see if I can dig it up tonight. May well have been multiple suppliers at the time. My 3 month old mats already have noticable heel marks. I see you can buy "bolt on" aluminum heel protectors - may look at that.
