Default Guaging Storage Tray Interest

Hey guys and gals,
We've had ALOT of you email us and ask if we had better alternative to a rear storage tray for the C6 and C6 Corvettes. I have attached an image of a rear organizer we are getting ready to tool up. The lids will be hinged and have locks as well. There are also two cup holders and a small open pocket for storing some loose items. I am wondering what YOU think of it and what YOU would like to see in a storage tray. Why make something that doesn't fit the needs of most of the people? These will be in the same texture as other plastic interior components and have a matte finish. these will be offered in black and dark grey, but other colors might be available too. There would be carpet in the bottoms of the compartments and on the lids as well if the majority of people wanted it. Let me know what you think.

It looks pretty nice. The only thing I question is the value of cup holders behind you. I think they just might be a little too difficult to use when driving. I have accessory cup holders up front so more storage space might be a better idea. However, just my opinion.

That looks really nice! I like the sound of it alot. I guess the cupholders would be optional for me as well. Really like the idea of integrated/hinged lid(s) with latch and the ability to lock.

Default size configuration question

What is the reasoning for this being so wide and shallow? It seems to me this would be more useful if it was a bit deeper, but not as wide so as to "use up" less cargo space.

Lookin good Brian! Maybe just one cupholder and that would be deep enough and maybe an adjustable type, that would hold the bigger and taller drinks. The locking lids are a great idea. I think carpet on the lids is cheesy and unless the whole thing was carpet and then the lids would be good to have carpeted as well. Kinda like the rear compartments for the trunk area. Keep us updated

Some type of semi tall rubber boot insert for the cup holders would be nice. Most drink cups tip over the way we drive.
