Rear Partition Thoughts
I'm looking at the rear partition and compartment covers from Southern Car Parts. Anyone have any experience with these? In particular, I'm interested to know;
How is the quality?
Does it stay in place during acceleration?
How much does it reduce road noise?
How well do the compartment covers fit?
Thanks
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

I have their rear partition, and I think the quality is top notch...It did somewhat reduce road noise on the highway..not too much driving around town in my opinion, but it sure is great to have that little area behind the seats separate ffrom the trunk...Hold in perfect, I never even had to use the velcro, just tolerance fit.

How is the quality? --> Top notch. Looks like a factory piece.
Does it stay in place during acceleration? --> It's not acceleration you need to worry about, but hard braking. I find myself adjusting it about once a week but I don't have the extra compartment section. That piece should hold the partition snuggly in place.
How much does it reduce road noise? --> It's noticeable but not drastic with the stock Ti mufflers.

How is the quality? Top Shelf!
Does it stay in place during acceleration? Yes
How much does it reduce road noise? Made a huge difference in my Z06.
How well do the compartment covers fit? I just got the partition and the tray - they all fit perfectly. They look like factory parts if not better.
Thanks

I have an older version of their partition and compartment tray and I love it. It was one of my first mods! Doesn't move at all and gives you plenty of nice options to hold drinks and other stuff, especially for trips!

Got the partition and the tray about three years ago. Fits pretty well but I have had problems with my partition not staying "up". Falls forward after a while or will fall forward if you close the trunk without lowering it and gently locking it. The velcro held it in place nicely, but the adhesive on mine stopped being adhesive after a while. I still like both of them and am glaD I bought them. Just need to find a better way to keep mine in place.

I got Vette Partition from Exotic Corvettes
Worked ok. Has a flap that goes under the front of the trunk floor
that makes a seamless looking fit.
One caution. I have a rain top that velcros around the mirror and suction cups to the windows. I threw it in the back, the velcro got
stuck to the fuzzy partition. Not fun to get it off and clip off all the
little fuzzies that got ripped out.

I have a very nice partition that I'm thinking about selling. This is what I have:
