Looks like the price is a lot cheaper for the US dealers. Btw to the guys posting up your VIN's I highly suggest you private message the guy your VIN number instead. There's a lot someone can find out using your VIN number and while I'm sure most of the members on the board are trust worthy you never know when someone anonymous is just browsing the boards.

I guess I'm not overly concerned about this since someone could just as easily walk out in the parking lot and see the VIN on my car.

While I haven't ordered the part.......yet, what I did do was cut a 1/4" piece of plywood to 33 X 20-1/2", radiused the corners, spray glued some black felt to it and stuck it in my trunk. Fits pretty good and for less than $10 it seems to be working just fine.

You bet it is and I'm sure you also seen my $7 pinstripes in my garage pics! Now tonight I'm going to install my $136 (delivered) Rostra cruise contol. Couldn't find a way to fabricate that one myself.Now that's in the thrifty spirit of an Eco owner!

Impressive. So you bought an optionless Eco MT and you are adding a cruise control yourself. Did you haggle them down $72 on the price, saying you didn't want the trunk inflator (eh, I'll hook one up myself)?You bet it is and I'm sure you also seen my $7 pinstripes in my garage pics!

Yep, and next I'm putting in the fog lights and maybe some slpash guards and I think I'll be finished. Didn't think about asking for a credit on the inflator though.Impressive.

I don't have a cruze(yet), but completely agree, the trunk is much more usable when its not flat. Even with a cargo net things were always moving around in the trunk of my cavalier, after I removed the spare tire & cover I loved the added trunk space & built in grocery & soda holder.

I'm going to take two sheets of 1/4 mdf and build a false floor for two amps with the first level featuring counter sunk plexiglas to showcase the amps. The second level will house an exhaust port and port matching electric fan leading to the first level which will be grated. I might use a couple red or blue LEDs and etch some kind of design into the plexiglass so just the design catches the light.
My 2011 Cruze Eco (manual trans) didn't come with a spare; it has the trunk 'hole'.
I'd like to get my hands on an OEM space-saver spare, jack, and tire-iron for my car. I prefer the spare over the inflator kit (which, by the way, I haven't actually found in the car yet) despite the weight. From the images posted in this thread, those cars that came with a spare have a different floor piece. So does that mean I have to replace the floor piece(s) from my Eco with the one that came on cars that HAVE the spare?

I was just at a GM dealer a few hours ago asking about all the components that came with Cruzes equipped with a spare tire. Unfortunately, it's not just as simple as a spare tire, jack, and tire iron... there's a lot more parts than that. Most parts are available through GM dealers, but not all... however, the total for all the parts (not including the tire itself, which isn't a 'GM' item) will be over $500!!! Gack!!!
Just got mine today too. I paid $50+tax (total came out to around $57).
Mine too looked nice and finished... for all of 1 minute, before I installed the Husky Weatherbeater trunk liner on top of it... LOL!!!

Mine came in today. I'm glad I found this thread because the parts guys didn't have a part number, and they didn't have a price in their system. I ended up paying $43+tax. I like having a covered place to stash my jumper cables, first aid kit and other roadside stuffs.
