The trunk mat in the Mustang has seen many better days but I've kept it as it appears original. At one point, I had a subwoofer in the trunk and cut a bit of the mat so it could be removed with the box in place. With the subwoofer now removed, it is a good time to replace the mat with something nicer.
The mat I ordered is a TMR-1P made by ACC and sold by NPD. It was rather expensive at $100 but I purchase another previously from Summit and it arrived paper thin with some cloth adhered to the back. When this arrived, I was happy to find the material was almost exactly like the original. It seemed a slight be more green while the original seemed more grey/brown but they were quite close and the pattern was correct.
I installed it and made a few marks so I could cut it to fit a little better. After about 30 minutes, it was fitting really good. The original cut around the spare tire mount was a little off. I fixed that and think it looks fine but the opening is a little large for that reason. I'm pleased and it looks much better.
I've been working on the 1993 Mustang much more lately. I picked up some Luxury Liner from Second Skin to cut down on road noise. If some is left, I think I'll put some under this mat to protect the gas tank from anything I might put in the trunk.
Current Outstanding List:
- Front Brakes - Braking power is reduced and I suspect the rubber front lines.
- Parking Brake - The parking brake hasn't worked in years and he would need it.
- Radio Wiring - I placed the Alpine in the '93 for a bit and need to get this back right.
Trunk Mat - I removed the amplifier and subwoofer and need a new trunk mat.- Front Fuel Filter Mount - This is a residual project from the Sniper installation.
- Hood Alignment - A hood hinge needs to be adjusted so the hood closes properly.
- Clutch Reservoir - This needs a new mount and a replacement lid - hit by hinge.
- Headlight Wiring - Still remaining from the failure during Power Tour 2023
- New Tires - I expect I'll need new tires at least on the front as they are rather worn.
- Swap Thermostat Housing - Get AutoMeter gauge working again.
- Fix Leaks - I think I now have a leak at the power steering pump.
- Fan Wiring - Switch to Sniper controlled fans
- A/C Vent Tube - Swap to avoid condensation dripping into floorboard
- Battery Clamp - The positive side clamp is broken.
- Shock Tops & Strike Bar - This is clean up and touching up with paint.
- Fix Parking Brake - This never seems to want to work properly.
- EFI Wiring - Clean up the EFI wiring
- Driver Door Rust
- Rear Deck Lid Rust
- Repair Tail Light Panel
- Rear Quarter Panels
