Sub box and cargo covers?

The installation of the sub box in my Z06 calls for 2 cargo latch covers for the side cargo spaces. Now, my Vette didn't come with any cargo covers and Chevrolet wants 260 bucks for the pair. Anyone have an idea why (my installer will mount thru the bottom of the center cargo space anyway) or at least a link for aftermarket cargo space covers? Appreciate it!!

Why not make some.

I made some covers to replace the existing rear side cargo covers in my C5 w/hatch...this was done to put 6x9's in them out of some pressboard, maybe it was mdf, I can't remember, cover them with matching carpet, and there you go...cargo covers for under $20 bucks.

Wood, $5, Carpet, $5...Time spent working on your car making improvements, priceless.

This way it blocks none of the sound and still looks stealth. At least this is what it looks like from what I have read.

Thanks Shan, yeah that's what type it is. Guess we'll get it installed, then maybe come up with a solution. I'll either make my own or leave it as is. Just didn't want to run into a snafu/pay Chevrolet what they were asking for them...
