I went with the below mats with my 76. They are not correct for the year, but look awesome and match the carpet perfectly.

I dont think it is necessary that you have 80/20 mats if you have 80/20 carpet. The 80/20 mats are kind of flimsy so I went with pile.
I had the above mats custom made by the company that makes them for Paragon etc. You can tell them what color carpet, surging around the outside and stitching you want. It cost's a few bucks more but it was worth it. I have a dark saddle 80/20 interior so i went with black (shoes less dirt) pile mats with dark saddle surging and dark saddle Stingray stitching. They turned out really nice.

Ecklers sells them for $75. Kinda expensive, but I loved the look and get compliments all the time on the floormats.

Yeah, those were the ones I was considering. What color is the script? Looks yellow from that picture.

It is inbetween yellow and gold. Looks awesome against the black carpet.
