Default Vette bin

I am thinking about getting a vette bin for my car. I would be interested in getting opions and which one seems to be the best.

Thanks guys!

The vendor who I purchased mine from has gotter into trouble here. Do not know why, as I was in trouble also.

Had it 3 yrs and only problem is one part of the carpet came loose. Just a little contact cement, and all is well. Paid $125 bin with partition.

I got my Vettbin & Partition Combo from Madvette Motorsports a couple years ago. Unfortunately, Dave is no longer on the Forum but I believe he is still fabricating the same product for a new vendor here although can not remember the name. It is an excellent product; looks factory and really cuts down on the road noise while providing a lot of extra in cabin storage. I plug my Ctek maintainer into the power point located in one of the storage bins. Really a great mod.

I have the combo and got it from Madvette over a year ago. It is great, especially the way it keeps stuff in the rear, works with the targa top, and has lockable storage and a 12v outlet in the bins. Bins are great for storing radar detectors, extra pistols and mags out of site.

I agree with the others. I got mine from Madvette. Delivery was slow but the quality and color match are great. I would try to find out if Madvette is still in business before you place an order.

Got mine from Southern Car Parts. Be aware that if you are running Lloyd's Mat in the cargo area, there will be a slight gap at the ends of the tray because of the height of the rug.

I plan on getting commercial cut in the Lloyd's mat to accomodate, otherwise fit is perfect.

This is the madvette version.. if I'm not mistaken Marc at vettenuts is selling the bin & partition that dave at madvettes makes. They are nice. That's what I have & I would recommend it.. I know that there are others out there that sell them also. I can't speak for their product but this 1 that vettenuts sells is nice.
Good luck with whatever you go with. Tonya

This is the exact same thing. I would buy from Marc in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one.

Yes, that is the company that Dave Hale (Madvette Motorsports) is now making the Vettebin and Partitions for. One nice thing about his partition is that if you have a rear cargo area mat, he will custom build the partition to accomodate that so that you get a clean, tight custom fit.

Yep, that's something I wasn't aware of when I bought mine.

Two weeks ago I just received my Vette Bin from VetteNuts. I have to say that customer service was awesome. Bin was made and shipped in two weeks. I got the newer version with door struts, new style locks and LED's. Fit and Finish are great.

I have not wired the LED's yet, but once done will post pictures.

Very happy with mine. I have both a cargo mat and a sound deadener mat and have no problem with the fit.

We here at VetteNuts have hired Dave (Formerly Madvette) to work for us full time. We now offer Vettebins and have taken the time to make improvements to them. When we hired Dave the first thing we did was spend 3 weeks to get all his back orders built and shipped.

We have sold dozens of these since introducing them on 8/11. They are one of the best mods i have done to my car. There is a huge need for more storage in our cars and this takes care of it while adding a custom look.

Check them out here!
