Default New Interior Pieces

Parition, Tray, Z06 Tray Cover, Compartment Covers, Z06 Cargo Mat, Z06 Floor Mats

Just something nice and subtle, stock was just a tad bit too plain for me. It really adds a nice touch I think and GREATLY reduces road noise inside (parition mostly, but I think the covers/tray/mats help also). It's amazing how much more quiet the car is driving, and when I get rid of these POS Supercar tires, it will drive like a brand new Cadillac!
After a quick vaccuum and layer of Armor-All/Leather treatment I figured I would snap some pictures and represent for an awesome vendor (SouthernCarParts). After looking at the pics, it looks like I missed a few spots! DoH!
Oh, and BTW, windows are getting tinted this month don't worry!




























What do you all think?

Looks great. I've only got the Lloyd's Z06 floor mats but I really want to get the partition eventually. I'm interested to see how much it cuts down on the road noise. Some roads are a lot louder than others and it seems like most of the noise comes from the rear tires.

I also purchased the setup from Southern Car Parts and I will tell you it did a great job of reducing the noise!

I have a set of Borla exhaust and prior to the partion, the drone would give me a headache after 30 minutes of driving. The partion with the doors and mats remove the drone form the interior.

The cavities that sit directly over the mufflers act like speakers for them inside. The doors and mat really muffle the sound, the partion keeps it out of the passenger compartment. The partion also prevents seeing what is in the back from the outside.

Plus the people and service at SCP are very good! Just my 2 cents worth...

Very nice I have similar pieces, they really help to quiet road noise. Wait till you dump the SuperCars, even better!

Jim is good people!

Is there a special price for the whole package: floor mats, partition, tray, covers, cargo mat and "slice" mat? Thanks.

I have a similar set-up and love it and Jim is a great guy to deal with. UPS lost my shipment and he helped me out right away! It did quiet things down some until I added the B&B bullets!

That looks nice. I like it all. I already have the same partition and tray. Never thought about putting a mat on top of it. I may have to do this too. Very nice.

The car looks nice but you are mistaken if you think the Eagle F1 SC tire is a POS.

I took them to be his original tires, they are certainly not POS but I know mine left a lot to be desired with 27K miles on them.

Looks great Shad. The long mats sure make a difference. It's a bonus to have the trunk looking finished as well. I bet you have been thinking about finishing the trunk lid as well.
