I am thinking of making one for my vert.. use some cardboard for a template, next some high density styrofoam and contact cement and interior carpet. Test for fit then cover with contact cement and carpet....done. Cost about $45- and time. My thought is alot of noise is coming thru the trunk floor and a dense mat of rubber (yoga/gym) would work excellently. Not proven concepts buy entirely possible. lol. Greetings, Rob

I really doubt you will find "plans". That's the whole point of them selling the part. With plans out there anyone can build it.
I would go with one of the dealers. you can get one for about 120. With the parts labor and headaches of getting it to fit right you will be wishing you just spent the 120 for something made right from the beginning.
The one i bought was pretty heavy, and WELL made. It was not made of Styrofoam. To be honest i don't think that will work well at all. This one was heave, weighed about 10lbs. I think it was made of a mixture of oak and balsa wood like the floors of the corvette.
Anyways, good luck!.

It fits like a glove, and also protects the top from any possible cargo damage when it's down.

Sorry for the crappy photo the flash bounced off the rear window. The line you see is glare it doesn look that way in person. The emblem is from the rear deck, I know I'm cheap. I cut the partition out and used 3M adheasive and wraped the carpet around and stapled it on the outside so the staples wouldn't show. The glue did smell for about a month then went away. It's held in by compression fit, never had it fall or move. It can be pushed forward to enter the center compartment.
