Default Cost of Cargo Cover

What would it cost for me to buy and have installed a cargo cover in my rear hatch? I understand that installation in the 2009 base model requires some additional pieces and dealer installation.
I know this is nonsense but my friend had one in stalled in his late model Corvette and he claims is subdues some of the road noise in the back end of his car. Is there anything to this in our Z's?

i paid 250 for the cargo cover itself, but i have a 2010. the 2010 models came with the holes in the panel for it to slip right in. theres a DIY here somewhere for 2009 models to have to retrofit the holes for ~$50 i believe.

as for noise, it does nothing for noise. it is just a thin piece of plastic/fabric.

Thanks. That's what I figured on both questions.

Here's my DIY on that. You'll need about $80 worth of parts plus the tonneau cover. You won't have to buy the panels because there are lines on the back of the existing panels that will show you the cutouts fo both the side panels and fo the hooks that go on the deck lid. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. You might get lucky and find the cover that someone is selling. I bought one for $80.

I've got an 09 with the cover, and I'd be willing to swap interior pieces + cash if you're interested.
