I put this GM convertible decklid panel in yesterday.

http://www.chevrolet.com/i/06/pic/co...6CHCR00062.jpg

I always thought the underside of the trunk lid looked like something was left out, especially since it has two holes for mounting something that stand out like, well, two holes.

It totally changes the way your convertible looks when the lid is up, and it really only takes a minute or so to install with two supplied pushin plugs.

A worthwhile mod for about $140 delivered.

Did mine too. Also put in the trunk mat with logo. You are right; it really does dress up the trunk but don't drive around with it open to show it off!

Default C6 Convertible cargo mat and trunk lid liner
Where did you get a C6 cargo mat and trunk lid liner with C6 logo. Did it include shipping?

I got the decklid panel here and the price included delivery

I got my cargo compartment mat and floormats from Southern Carparts. Here's the thread

Atogether they give a polished look to your interior (the way it should have come from the factory, if you ask me).

Is it a decal or is it on material that covers the entire lid?

It's the same material that lines the trunk, and it's embroidered not an applique.

The panel is light, maybe 3 pounds, it looks good and is made right. It looks like it came from the factory.

I bought mine from the dealer. Really adds to the decklid. With my discount I think I paid around $100.00.
