I have the ones w/ the CF inlays, had them for ~10 years, although its probably been 5 since I've had them on. They look great, fit great. Only problem is that since they span all the way across, they tend to flex up and down when you hit bumps and squeek. The seat belt cut-outs also create a weak spot where cracks tend to form. I fixed this by fabricating a "prop" that supports the center at the front. Took care of the squeeking and will prevent cracking around the seat belt cut-outs.

Nice, thanks for the info. Did you take the back seat out? not because you had to just because you could lol If I remeber you have a custom stereo box, right? could you hide one under the cover, on the back seat?

Let me know if you decide to purchase one - I have one in excellent condition that I've owned for a LONG time but have only used a handful of times. I'll sell it @ a good price.

I didn't take my seat out, didn't need to since my sub-box fits between the trunk and the passenger compartment where that little filler panel goes. But yeah, if you had to, you could just lay down the back seat, put a big-'ol sub box on the folded seat, and plop this tonneau over it (if the box isn't too tall) and you wouldn't hardly see the sub. Can't say the tonneau woudn't rattle though.
