Is the rear most panel that this rear storage lid locks to is it any different that one without? can anyone post a picture of their rear panel with the lid open. I want to put a lid in mine but I'm not sure if it'll work. Thanks

 

Let me see if I understand your canadian lingo. You have a compartment in the rear without a lid on it, and you want a pic of a locking one with the lid open? If this is right then let me know and I will get a pic of it tomorrow.

you're in luck

 

open

 

I believe he is asking if the rear panel (the one parallel to the taillights) is the same with or without a locking rear compartment. I'm not sure, but I think the difference is that the one with a locking compartment has a little bracket for the piece to lock to.

 

you got it MetalliCamaroRS.. I guess I should have worded it a bit better.

MasterEvilAce, thanks for the pictures.

 

The 2 panels are different. To add the locking rear cover, you need to also replace the rear plastic. The one with the cover requires a small lip for the cover to rest on while the non covered setup is smooth.

 

umm. I probably could add something for it to sit on. Thanks guys.

 

I just picked one of the cover panels and the rear trim panel for my 87. I got lucky and found a really nice one in black to match my interior. I know of another setup in light grey I could get. If you are interested, let me know.

The only problem I can see is shipping the panel. I think it would qualify as oversize, so not sure what shipping would cost.

 

No thanks alloy, I've got a possible lead on locating one in the color I need. Thanks for the offer.

 

Actually you don't need the rear panel since the stock panel has a small lip. Unless you plan to set something extremely heavy on top of it, its not a problem.

 

thats true.. but if I'm going to install the lid. I'm gonna make it look factory.

 

I tryed to put a "lipless" panel on my car that has a locking panel and the panel would not close becuase of it. The top was too big

 

how did master get carpet on his panels?! custom?!

 

and what the hell is that huge thing in the back in the second pic?! subs?

 

The carpet is part of the deluxe interior package. The bottom of the cover has the Bose amplifiers installed to it. Each speaker is amplified individually with the Bose setup.

 

really!? what year did they offer the delux pakage? and the bose set up obviously isnt stock

 

The bose setup is stock , came with speakers in ther lid and the kicks and stuff ii have an 85 w/ deluxue interior so it goes form 82-85 and probably a little later im gonna gues 87 ish

 

in my 84 z28 i have this weird half circle cut hole in the carpet. in the back. kind of in the well. maybe the lid could attach to someething underneath it?

 

yeah i had the bose setup in my 87 sport coupe......

 

had?


would it be possible to just get one of those lids and install it into my car? that looks PRIME

 

Yes you can.. thats what I plan on doing.. you can sometimes find them on ebay. or some parts yards.

 

I don't understand why people make statements that are so far from accurate, but are made as if they know the answer. The Bose setup became available in the 87 models and required each speaker to be individually amplified at the speaker. They were placed at the kick panels in the front and in the rear compartment (as shown) for the rears. The B-pillar speaker cavity is empty and so is the dash. Do a little research before making statements like that.

The custom cloth interior was available from 82-92.

 

Here's the pic of the panel you're looking for--this one goes to the locking lid.

 

BTW--if you have a power hatch motor in your car you have to use a panel from a car that had the motor also, or it won't fit.

 

Heres the Bose set up in my 92...

 

if anyones interested i have the door and panel for the locking hatch up for grabs i was going to recondition it( its brown right now) but the signs show thats not going to happen.

 

Anyone have a Bose rear lid for cheap? doesn't even have to be black!! I could also swap w/someone for a regular lid in black.

 

that is very nice. i wish i could find one in blue.. even with out the speakers, just a flush lid would be wicked. ... maybe i could make one...

 

step one goto junkyards get one
step two get blue carpet
step three strip carpet and recover with blue carpet
step four follow instructions in tech article on this
