Default Partition: Carpet or vinyl?

I know partition discussions have been beat to death, but I just bought a 2004 Z06 and need a partition. I have seen several different manufactures of carpeted partitions to consider. I have also seen vinyl covered with the Z06 emblem that looked really classy. Any carpet vs. vinyl opinions or recommendations for vendors? Jeff

I'm going with vinyl when I build mine, simply because it is almost impossible to match the carpet. All the vendors say theirs matches, but I've yet to see one that does.

Leather would be nice also, but it would be extreemely difficult for a vendor to find a grade of leather as poor in quality as GM uses to match the factory seats.

I have the partition from Southern Car Partz and it is carpeted on the front with the plexiglass window and Z06 emblem. If I remember correctly it is vinyl covered on the back. I am hardly ever in the back so I pay no attention to it.
