Default Trunk partitions

Has anyone purchased a trunk partition from the Corvette garage? If so what is their quality like. Also if they are not good who is?

Thanks

Default Trunk Partition

I bought a Quiet Ride Divider (x-1169) from Zip products, I works great to reduce wheel noise. It also quietens the varoom. It looks good and no tool instal. It is thick foam with carpet on one side with vette emblem. No, I dont work for Zip. It only cost $99.99

Default I too am interested.

I'm also going to get the parition soon. And would like to read peoples opinions on them. Do they make them that allow some type of access to the trunk area from the passenger area? I know thats a lot to ask, but the people who own Corvettes expect more. Right?

I find they work very well. The noise and resonance is much reduced along with the separating the trunk is a great advantage. (No milk flying at the back of your head during a hard stop on the way home from grabbing some food)

I personally made my own, that way i got the features I wanted (good carpet, made out of wood for extra sound deadening) Someone has even put vents in his to allow for the trunk to be open while he drives to give good airflow...

And it costs less than $25 to make...

You could put a little door to allow access, but it is far back, (behind the speakers) so you still have 8-10" behind the "hump"

If you want a how-to, check the site in my sig!

Cheers!
Chris
