Inexpensive Cargo Mat for your coupe
If you're tired of having things carried in your coupe sliding around, I have an inexpensive solution. I bought two rolls of a rubberized shelf material designed to be used in kitchen cabinets. Bought it at Wal-Mart. Cost was about $4 per roll. You'll need two rolls to do the job. Cut the first piece to fit the area closest to the rear of the car. Cut the second piece a little wider than necessary so there's about an inch of material that can be tucked under the plastic panels on both side. This second piece also overlaps the first piece and helps hold it down. I've also added a bungee cord to hold big things down. Another option is order the mat that Lloyds offers that's one piece and cut to fit...... but it sells for $89. I like my $8 solution just fine and it works well. The Wal-Mart stuff comes in different colors but the black matches my interior perfectly.

The birdies are singing.... CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!
I got my Lloyds mat for around $54.00 shipped, not $89.
When the glue and other parts melt into your carpet, you can always cover the mess up with the Lloyds mat... LOL

Hey! No problem... I am just as CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP on most things. That's why I bought a 1LT and the Cheap Lloyd's mat instead of one with a big WING logo. And... my parcel tray is a box from Costco!

Aw man, You're in a good place. Thanks for the tip. Some may say cheap, some say frugal. If I wasn't frugal, knowing the difference between what I can afford and what I can pay for, I wouldn't have been able to retire at 48 years old. So be frugal, and enjoy your fine Corvette!
