Thanks for the dex article! I know the 40th is just the emblems and mats. No extra value. I just like the emblems on the sail panels.

The extra padded rectangular section is stitched onto the mat. The emblem is plastic (not stitched) and glued on.willwren wrote:They are stitched logos.

If you purchased the car new, there was added value to the 40th package in the form of a bundled discount of options.Bonnevillans wrote:Thanks for the dex article! I know the 40th is just the emblems and mats. No extra value. I just like the emblems on the sail panels.
I have my window sticker if anyone needs to confirm this.

This dex cool always made me nervous. With 16k miles on a 1997 I think I should dump the dex cool....but the lim and uim should be changed at such low mileage? I hope not! Does it go based on age or mileage? Prob know the answer....

Age alone can kill those gaskets with DEX in there. The UIM should be done at the same time for convenience, it WILL burn through eventually.

Fix it now while it's maintenance, instead of later when you're doing an engine swap.
Also, we need pictures of this gem.
Bye Bye:

I have original mats..unused....94SilverSSEi wrote:Ok. So all the SE 40th's had the 5-spoke wheels.
What about the 40th SSEi? Was this a different package because almost all of these I've seen have chrome torque stars.
As well as, what did the floor mats look like?
As I have a 40th but no 40th floor mats....

This thread is 3 years old.....
If you want to sell your mats, put them up in the for sale section.
