The storage bins

The 2 storage bins in the C4 behind the seats. Mine have fallen apart. I would like replacement bins, but before I buy these (Ebay probably) I would like to know

Does anybody have an upgrade or a work around? I can see how these could have been deeper. I can also imagine these are the same size as some fishing box at Wal-Mart or some such obscure – but good solution

Any replacement ideas???

Look at the usual Corvette catalogs for their aftermarket solutions. I've seen these advertised in recent yrs.

I'd offer you mine, but one has a hole from a flailing halfshaft.

The one behind the driver is about as deep as it can go...

The ABS pump and the FX3 controller are located below the soundproofing...no more room there.

Can't go much deeper, but if you do, I'd stay away from styrofoam.
