I don't know what the mats look like that go behind the seats, but could you put them under the carpet and cut a vertical slot out that goes around the seat position sensors? Then the carpet goes back on over the sensor panel just like stock. That way you shouldn't lose any seat travel and the sensors would work normally.

However it sounds like your order was not cancelled.
Because it did not ship yet, your card was never ran.
What you seen was the temp hold visa/master puts on your card (a quick check they do on their own to make sure the money is there) since we are not shipping just yet, we did not charge your card & take any money.
Feel free to pm us or call tomorrow and we can go over your order.

Thank you.

The mats go vertical.

The cargo mat is precut to fit exactly in your cargo area. The pieces that go behind the seat are rectangular in shape.
I guess making a vertical slot could work. I'm not sure, I never did it.

Yes, truly interesting. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I will be in contact with my credit card company to find out what their issue may be.

Installed on my C7 Z06. TRANSFORMATIONAL! The reduction in tire noise is astonishing. Being an engineer I had planned to use my laboratory dB meter to measure noise levels with and without the TKO Blockit kit. As it turns out there is no need to do so because the noise reduction is truly dramatic. This kit is a "must have" for all but deaf C7 owners. I had a '14 Z51 which had hellacious tire noise. I was exhausted after driving it for 3-4 hours. The '15 Z06 was significantly quieter and rides more smoothly....think Chevy vehicle engineers softened the suspension bushings. Seems to be well known that the '15 is a quieter car. Just can't believe how such a relatively inexpensive and easily installed kit can be so effective. I could now drive the car across country....yes, it's that good.

Do you have the cargo blockit mat for the 2105 Z06 coupe? And if so, do you have a carpet with the C7 bowtie and Z06 on it; or just Z06 on it as part of the combo offer? Thanks, Jim.

Yes Jim, the Blockit fits the Z06 (base & Z06 have the same rear cargo area).
However at this time they don't have the "Z06" for the mats yet. Only the embroidered flags.

Are these still in stock and ready to ship?

Also any forum pricing or just what's listed on your site? Doesn't hurt to ask 👍🏻.

Thanks

Just curious but do you have any data to backup the claims? It would seem easy to hit the freeway at 70mph and measure the sound at driver ear height both with and without the BlockIts and then let us know how well it works? Anecdotal doesn't work for me because placebo effect kicks and makes you feel you hear the difference when there really isn't any (especially if you've paid >$200 for the solution.)

My experience so far is that the BlockIts only reduces the road noise...not the exhaust noise. BTW, the loud exhaust noise (which we all love) does numb one to the sense of acceleration. Under 3,500 RPM my Z06 seems to pull harder in Stealth Mode than in Sport Mode.
