Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
This is my friend's 1989 IROC and we both want to know why some Camaros have this lid in the trunk and others don't. Is it an option? If so,what is the option code?

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
they are hard to find and even harder to install. there was a special welded on brace but you cant do tht now - there is a gas tank in the way. the dealers dont have any left, i tried to find one that way. the braces are done at the factory - so no luck there either.
i had to prefab a brace up and then had it bolted in, but that was trickey because you cant just run the holes, or you put a few in the gas tank.
but they are nice. and they qualify as a trunk so you can carry guns in there, when you go to the range.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
The complete option code is B48 - Luggage compartment trim. It included carpet inserts on the plastic rear interior panels and the locking cover panel over the trunk well. The physical RPO for the locking panel is D27. I want to say B48 was availble from '82-89 or 90. As "daferris" noted above, the locking panel was also used on Camaros with the Bose radio option.
My '82 T/A has the option. Its nice as it makes getting the T-Tops into the storage bag a lot easier.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
If this is hard to find... is it rare in both Camaros and Firebirds, or just Camaros? My '86 TA has it.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
I have one of those with black carpet if you're looking to buy one. I don't have the weld-in brackets or matching rear trim piece that has a ledge for it to sit on though.

My 86 Sport coupe lists RPO B84 and has no traces of this cover or any place it may have mounted.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
B48 is luggage compartment trim. That's it. It is the carpeting trim on the wheel wells and rear panels. D27 is the rear locking cover and has nothing to do with B48.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
The '82 brochure has a picture showing B48/D27 with the caption "Available cargo trim includes carpeted sides and lockable storage compartment door"
To get D27 you had to order B48.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
Those covers are also different for the 82-85 and 86-92 cars, because of the power pull down motors.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
Starting in '86 GM started to put an electric power pull-down trunk latch so the hatch didn't have to be slammed closed. You just lightly push down on the hatch until you hear a click sound and then the motor activates and pulls the hatch fully closed This is the same system that Cadillac has used for decades. The pull-down latch is considerably larger than the simple standard latch used on '82-85 cars so the rear plastic trim panel has a larger bump in the center. The D27 trunk well cover had to be redesigned to fit the pull-down latch style rear trim panel.
So there are rear trim panels and D27 covers for '82-85 with the standard latch and '86-92 with the electric pull-down motor latch.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
B48 is luggage compartment trim and included D27 rear locking cover. They were not separate options. See attached pic of a dealer order form. Under option B48 it notes "Inc. Rear Compartment Storage Cover". There is no separate D27 option on the order form.
The '82 brochure has a picture showing B48/D27 with the caption "Available cargo trim includes carpeted sides and lockable storage compartment door"
To get D27 you had to order B48.

I'd make a new post under classifieds instead of bumping a thread from 2009

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
Do you still have the rear compartment cover and if so where are you located to find out how hard it would be to get it from you, thanks Tim.

Re: Interior Photos-What Is This Option?
I installed one of those in my 92 RS when it was new and of course bought it through our parts department. As stated before, it was standard with cars with Bose sound system. It appears to take 6 X 9 speakers based on the outline on the back of the lid. Additionally, I can attest to punching hole(s) in the gas tank if you aren't careful. I wasn't careful. My car had/has cutouts in the carpet to guide where to put the bolts.
I see those pretty often on Ebay.
