Just another garage built Custom Trunk Project
This is a project I have been trying to get to for the last couple years. Finished it in one weekend.
http://www.yourautotrim.com/80wideozite.html
the carpeting
the adhesive (same stuff I used in the door panels too)http://www.yourautotrim.com/perhittrimad.html
the panels are made from 1/8" ABS plastic
Started with a very clean stock trunk, so the only prep work was cutting out the stock jack attachments
Then I made some templates for the front, back and side panels
Then I cut and fit and trimmed the ABS panels
Then I added cut pile carpet that is made with no backing on it. It made it super easy to conform to all of the contours. It was glued right to the trunk floor.

Nice work Scott! The 1/8" ABS is going to be much lighter than our MDF build...
