I was thinking that someone makes a close facsimile of the original style sewn trunk mat . Any ideas?

I think ACC does them sewn on request. A rep came to R+A Motorsports and documented one of mine a few years back for the purpose.
Bought a trunk mat from NPD 2017; Part Number TMB-9B, description, Trunk Mat, Burtex, Original Style/23590 08B.
Image of a original - a bit hard to see...
Few more to help illustrate the corner detail. Have done it by hand a couple of times. Not a fun task ::)

ACC does them. They are sewn just like the originals. I did have to trim a quarter inch off where the spare goes.

Here are pictures of mine. It's Burtex like the original. It is sewn like the pictures.

What is Burtex?
Not Vinyl - see the first image in Jeff's reply #4 - that's Butrex

That would be what was originally installed so yes that is what you want not an all rubber or one of the vinyl with white felt finish on the back side
Here is a comparison of original and reproduction mat backsides. Not exact but much better than the other non-Burtex options

The mat I posted in my Shelby is Burtex, not the crappy fleece-lined vinyl. They're about 135.00

So Do both ACC & NPD's Burtex come sewn, ready to install?

Fitted carpet?
Yes, they are sewn corners like the originals. My vehicle is getting a door realigned or I would walk out and take a picture for you. I sent two back that were claimed to be "correct".
OH may be, I'll check that again.
Thanks
Here are the sewn seams on the ACC burtex replacement.

The one I purchased was about 135.00 to my recollection. I posted pictures on page two of this posting. I bought from ACC directly through Ebay. My invoices are packed, otherwise I would provide you the part number. I do suggest you set the trunk mat out and allow it to vent the chemical fumes for a day or two before installing it.
