Default Partition

Just got my partition from corvettepartitions.com. I had an Andy's partition before and I was shocked to see how much better this one fit (Not to say Andy's are bad). It fits snug in every corner. You cant see a crack of light from the trunk to the front. The quality of the carpet and vinyl is great too. Installation is very easy since you dont have to drill holes for buttons. This one uses strong velcro straps. It cut down on the road and exhaust noise for me. Having headers and corsa exhaust is very loud in the cabin. I would would highly recommend this for any vette enthusiast looking for a partition!

Brian, have you looked into designing a partition for a coupe? I've sorta eyeballed it and it looks to me as if it couldn't be flat as the others are ... might need hinging to clear the speakers and still be able to operate the hatch. Also, it would need a window for rearview mirror visibility. Might even have an issued closing the hatch because of air sealing. First thoughts are that one made of 1-inch polyisocyanurate preformed expandable foam (like insulated sheathing on houses) might do the trick, with reinforced edges, some sort of rubber seal, a plexiglas insert, and carpet adhered to the surface. Might be sorta complex though. I suppose durability would be an issue with foam board, but the insulating qualities should be excellent and it would be lightweight, especially compared to using MDF.

I think that making it look right in a coupe would be hard!

Do you have any room between the partition and the rear of the seats? I keep a small plastic tray there with a few items, small duster, etc. How about effect on the rear speakers?

I have looked into it, and I think that the price on one would be a bit high considering what would be required to make one. I don't know if Andy over at Z06parts has any input on this, but I think for cost effectiveness it would be hard to make one. If you want one made to your specifications, we could try something for you, but I really don't think you would be happy with it.

Vern,
A small area is created between the back of the seats and the partition, which allows for items up to the size of a notebook computer to be stowed there. As far as the speakers, partitions are generally located behind the rear speakers. This allows your factory speakers to actually be heard. We placed a 100Db noise generator in the trunk of a test car and the decibel meter between the front seats at ear level, and with our partition installed, the noise was reduced to 63Db. Not bad,huh? Partitions also aid on colling the cabin in summer heat, as you do not cool the trunk area.

If you, or anyone else have questions, please feel free to contact me via IM here, posts or contact form at www.corvettepartitions.com

Brian

PS. Look for our lightweigt ABS partitions soon-- they will be trick!!

Yeah, that's sorta what I was thinking too. It would be pretty complex to make and install, and would probably not look good once it was in. And I suspect that the sound reductions and overall benefits would not be as great as with the FRC, especially when traded against cost and appearance.

Just wondering. Thanks!

Gary,
If you really are interested in something, I might be able to design something in 3D. All of our products are 3D modeled anyway, and it's not that much effort, just I honestly don't think you would be happy with its' final looks.

I made this one myself, with the plans fron the FRC website. I get compliments all the time. Most people think its factory. I have since put the corvette logo in the center.

What is your holiday pricing? It seems to be the same as regular pricing on your website (it's still great though ). I'm trying to order your ABS version right now and it's charging me shipping too. Is this holiday special still going on?
