Yes, the oval mast is correct. I would go with the oval. If you don't have a good
original antenna base, be advised that the repros are of poor quality. I would recommend trying to find an original antenna base if you need the base. The repro masts are fine.
On the carpet, Ames sells ACC and the quality is good. yes the original floor mats have an
arrowhead in them with the word Pontiac printed on them as well. Ames sells the correct mats identical to originals and the quality is very good on them. On the console lid, nobody
makes one that is correct. The so-called "correct" ones are anything but. They have a urethane
top cover whereas the originals are foam covered by vinyl on a metal base, just like the dash pad. when they say correct, they mean it looks the same from ten feet away. If you have an original lid in bad shape, Just Dashes can recover it for you, or just use the incorrect "correct" repro. On an interesting note, even in 1971 you couldn't buy a correct console
lid from your Pontiac dealer. All they could sell you was a 1970 version with a rubber cover and a latch button on it. I know because I tried to buy a new correct one for my car back then. A hot tip.......when you install the lid leave the "spring" off of the hinge. It is this unnecessary spring that tears the hell out of your console lid. I found a correct used lid
for my car back in the 70's, and with the spring off the hinge it has stayed in perfect shape for over 40 years. The spring tore up my original lid in two years.
