I'm almost to the end of my Cutlass project. I'm ready to finish off the trunk and was lookin for input on where to buy a good quality black carpet kit. Also does anyone sell panels that I could have covered myself.

Man those trunk kits look great!
Looks like you guys lean towards Mike's trunk. I have a '79 that I am finshing a 2 year refresh. Here is a pic while the body work was still being finished and I was installing the DynaMat.

As you can see, I NEED somthing to cover this stuff.
I have my carpet kit selection down to four:

I have been in contact with the guys at Dixie Monte Carlo. They told me that their kit would work on my '79 Monte with some minimal trimming. Has anybody put one of these kits in a 3rd Gen Monte? I can't believe there are THAT many differences in G-Body trunks. It looks like the GSI kit has a "spare tire delete" panel that would be nice for me as I don't carry a spare at this time. It is a bit hard to tell from the pictures, but do all the other kits have the spare tire cover? Do all the kits come with the carpet that covrs up the tail light area? Anything that you wish you had known BEFORE you did the trunk carpet install?

Thanks in advance for the advice! :D

I saw one that closed in everything like above but spare had nice fitted cover and was out in open. Liked it much better seemed to leave more room. .
My buddy has MIkes set up and his t tops trashed the angled tire cover on first trip . But drivers side held up well.
