I went with a partition. There are a couple of Forum Vendors who do products. I got mine from Exotic Vette and I've been very happy with it. You can keep it in place with the top either up or down. Great fit and looks good.

Take a look at the PM I just sent you.

I received my Vert Trunk Partition from Southern Car Parts yesterday and installed it last night. It took all of 30 seconds to put it in but I have not had an opportunity to test it. Southern Car Parts is a Forum Vendor and their cost on this item of $130 (which includes shipping) is the best I found while shopping it.

It reduces noise quite well with the roof up although I don't think the noise is particularly bad in the first place. I normally have the radio on so its all relative. Add that to the fact that the roof is normally down here in Vegas. It does help to keep things from rolling around between the trunk and thwe cockpit though.

I had the sound killers and they do work and I think they look nice. They also kill the sound from the rear speakers. I replaced them with a partion that fits behind the rear speakers. The only problem I have had with the partion is that the material separated from the partition board and so I had to re-glue it.

Totally sound proofed my entire car with Frost King and Dynomat last winter, and while I was at it, I made a partition and sub-woofer speaker enclosures out of MDF. This resulted in a 100% improvement in interior noise reduction, not to mention the sound quality from the system becoming noticeably better.

I actually found that one accidentally a few days ago. It seems like a steal compared to what most places are selling them for... I think it is pretty plain-Jane.... but it looks functional.

..but I think that one is just a piece of covered 2-1/2" dense foam 
"Make your fixed roof coupe or convertible a more enjoyable car to drive, install the "Quiet Ride" Compartment Divider. The one-piece unit is charcoal gray and made of high-density, sound absorbing 2-½" foam. Available with black carpet on one side and edges (to trunk side) or without carpet."

I bought a double carpeted version from CF member Crazy Cowboy of Exotic Vettes. I looks great ( can't tell is aftermarket) fits great and I get no drone from my Borla's !
I'm very I bought it.
