Sorry, I saw that I had a response and realized that I missed two previous ones!

I'm considering to do the same thing, as 16" separators would be flatter and more durable than 15" coroplast, and would cover the lips with a 1/4" overlap. Hopefully the gap between separator edges and sidewalls would keep them from touching.

Yes, they do overlap slightly. Unfortunately, I was not able to center them very well.
I believe that I found the pizza separators through JustMe1969:

We also discussed them in my thread:
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ans-26001.html
They are currently $3.81 each, with $7.99 shipping for four, totaling $23.23. Amazon does not have them and Google Shopping does not show anyone charging less for shipping. I originally bought a 16" disc, I think that was for my Forester, but then I bought my Civic, and saw the fifteen-inch discs in a restaurant supply store.
They also had cardboard disks, although I am not sure what sizes.

Needed drill size is 10mm closest is 13/32 in inches and with 25/64 size you only need to rotate the drill slightly to get the plug through the hole.
Hole size is not as important as to get the zipties straigth through the holes.

It looks like I found those zip ties:
Amazon.com: Panduit PLT3S-M0 BLACK WEATHER RESISTANT STD. CABLE TIE 3" MAX. BUNDLE (package of 100): Industrial & Scientific
I did not have time to redo my covers before I drove home and I left the zip ties that fit at Mom's house.
I brought down the wrong ones!
One of the zip ties broke. I bought a set of drill bits, so one of them should be the right size, but I have not re-drilled yet, I am waiting to get my zip ties back.
I am trying to drill out the outer edge. I do not know what difference it makes, but it cannot help. I am not sure that twisting the zip ties is that good for them.
Mostly I am concerned with removing the generic Plasti-Dip and replacing it with the real stuff. Maybe I will climb on my carport and spray that over my parking spot, it always leaks when it rains.
I also took off my grill block and air dam. I do not know how good of an idea it is, but it would at least look better to have one smooth piece for both, kind of like a mustache.
