Default BlockIt install from TKO Product

Just got these today but install was 5 minutes. Ok 10. It would have been 5 if I read the instructions and put black side up lol. I also did behind drivers seat. Passenger seat door can't open fully in garage so that will have to wit. I'll update thread in a day or 2 as this is my daily driver and I'll see how they do. Better pics to come in daytime


Upside down but from seat looking back. Perfect fit



After I covered



After. Read directions



After. Covered the 2nd time.

Drove to work this am with the top down. I can tell those worried about the block it killing their bass your fears are unfounded. I have a hertz amp a power fan and an 8" jl under my center compartment and my bass was as good as ever. Those low frequencies just need some air. The block it doesn't change the air getting to the ji at all. Still killer bass. As for ride quietness that will come on the way home when I put the top up!! It did feel a little less noisey this morning but the top up will tell for sure.

Finally put the top up. Certainly can tell the difference. Car is a bit quieter, you still hear the roar at take off from dead stops and when u hit the gas. But when cruising it's a nice peaceful quiet. But even more important to me, my c5 is a daily driver and living in Fl it gets really hot. I've noticed that my trunk is a lot cooler. Every night when I leave work I put my laptop bag in the trunk and I think hope the heat doesn't kill this thing. Well since the block it install the trunk with the top up or down seems much cooler. Well worth the price of admission lol.

Awesome to hear. Real glad your happy with the product! As for keeping the Convertible trunk cooler,... yes it does. We noticed it right away with the C6 customers because very little separates the exhaust and the cargo area. Travel items, Suitcases....etc would get real warm.

Again that you for your business, the positive comments and for the time you took to post them.
