I currently have all the carpet and well panels out of my trunk. I hated them. They were all nasty and WAVY. Spare is also gone. Nothing back there but my beat-your-@$$ stick.




Can you guys give me some ideas on what to do to make it all look good? Should I just paint it? Put some Rhino lining in?

You should definitely line it with this.

Justin, are you serious? You'd not have any carpet and stuff back there?

MTV would put a hot tub back there and call it the Opal Mullet.

Haha. I am serious. I do not have carpet back there. I wonder who originally got the idea to put carpet in trunks. I can see for sound deadening ... but thats it. It looks better than just metal, too I guess. But I think there has to be a cosmetically better approach. Besides, like I said ... my carpet is ruined. Partly my fault. I was hauling some heads and intakes around in it a while back ... and they slipped off the towels I had them on. Got the carpet even nastier. The stuff never even lined up in there right.


I am seriously thinking about doing some black Rhino lining.


Maybe a custom 15" woofer in the spare cubby? Talk about foaming the fuel.

it depends on what you want out of you trunk, rhyno liner would be good for hauling stuff. but if you want a sound system i would go with fiberglass if you know how or know someone who does.

Its funny you mention this because my trunk mat is also disgusting, and I got so sick of looking at it, that i removed it recently...OK I lied, I took it out to go to the track which never happened, and realized how gross it was. Im planning on cutting out a new piece of wood for the trunk floor and covering it with some nice nylon carpet that matches the rest of the trunk. If it gets dirty at some point, its nylon, I can hose it down if I really wanna!

I got my car in the same condition... I jsut keep my trunk closed...

I think a cheap roll-in bediner would be OK though... Duplicolor used to make one that sold for under $50...

Dang the trunk of my car is the only place on the whole car that I can say is truly immaculate! Too bad it's not acceptable to park you car backwards at car shows and pop only the trunk, otherwise I'd have a winner.

truck bedliner spray would work well. i painted the underside of my hood w/ a $7 can from Advance and it turned out really nicely! gonna spray the engine bay w/ it, too.

either that, or maybe you can fab something out of wood panels to cover the entire and just be left w/ a nice cubicle-like area (then you can spray that w/ the bedliner spray).

Maybe just line it with dark black carpet. Might be a bitch to make it sit nice though.

Use angle iron and metal stock behind the OEM board to make it straight, and then recover it in something fresh like WD noted? Otherwise, it's going to take so long to do anything, unless you do straight panels down each side, with sub boxes or storage space behind the straight parts.
