I bought the EOS side skirts and splitter this time because they were already painted Carbon Flash... Well it was so bad I took them to my painter and had him completely redo them with 3 coats base and 3 coats clear.. They look awesome now... I wish I would have got the ones from JW Motorsports instead and had them painted right the first time like I did on my previous C7...

Additional Trunk Storage?
We're getting ready for the upcoming caravan which will have us on the road for about 10 days. When I had the coupe, storage wasn't much of an issue. Now with the vert, we know we'll not have enough.
I was looking at the trunk and at the rear of the trunk (towards the front of the C7), there is a panel which appears to be clipped in; think the "clips" used to hold in the floor mats. Does anyone know if that panel could be removed exposing the top and if we leave the top up for the trip, could we use that space for additional luggage?

That's what it is for. Pull it off the snaps on both sides and drop it down flat on the trunk floor.
The roof won't go down when the snaps are disconnected so when you put it back up make sure the snaps are seated..
Have fun on the caravan.

The Vert holds basically the same amount of luggage space as the coupe, when the top is up and the partition down, if you want to see out the rear window. The coupe has much more if you don't care to see out the window.
If you take the top off (and bring it with you, the coupe actually has less real world luggage space than the Vert with the top down.
Over-length items such as skis, lumber, and furniture don't count. :lol

Thank you! I should have known that, or at least have RTFM...

Thank you.
When we went on vacation last year, it was with the coupe and we barely had enough space for everything, especially after picking up stuff along the way.

Yes it can.
