Attached, is a photo of the embossing on the passenger underside of an original 1969 Camaro coupe trunk mat without the RPO N65 space saver tire.  The embossing appears to be heat stamped into the rubber mat.  I provided measurements to document the exact location of the embossing on the underside of the mat.

The rubber thickness was measured in multiple locations with digital calipers at 0.053" (varies up to +0.004").  The thickness of the reproduction trunk mat in my 68 Camaro measured with digital calipers at 0.052" (varies + or -0.004").  It appears that the difference in thickness between original mats and this particular reproduction mat is imperceptible by touch.  Unfortunately, I do not recall where I purchased my reproduction mat.

Here's a list of the trunk mats for first generation Camaros under Group 15.222:
7663177, 1967 coupe, excluding N65 space saver tire
7728644, 1967 coupe, with N65 space saver tire
7689199, 1967 convertible, excluding N65 space saver tire
7728646, 1967 convertible, with N65 space saver tire

7779677, 1968 coupe, excluding N65 space saver tire
7779681, 1968 coupe, with N65 space saver tire
7779679, 1968 convertible, excluding N65 space saver tire
7779683, 1968 convertible, with N65 space saver tire

8738793, 1969 coupe, excluding N65 space saver tire
8738795, 1969 coupe, with N65 space saver tire
8738794, 1969 convertible, excluding N65 space saver tire
8738796, 1969 convertible, with N65 space saver tire

Hopefully, other CRG members with original trunk mats can post similar photos with measurements for other trunk mats.

I thought the N65 space saver never made it into 67 Camaro production?  Odd they would list a specific mat for it, unless the Firebird managed to get it, and for some reason they also listed it under Camaro in the parts catalogs.

Correct. Zero production in 1967 for N65.
