Since we couldn't find a decent cargo mat for under $80, I decided to make one, so $15 later this is what I have

I thought it came out pretty good

 

[superbang]

hey that's pretty good, did you just use like a carpet sample and some plywood or something?

 

[ib2loud]

i made it from masonite so it could bend to get into place, the carpet was in a roll at auto zone for $9.99

Very nice!
I thought of putting carpet back there too, which would put my own leftover interior carpet to good use that is currently taking up space in my basement! Although, it would probably end up looking like *#&@^* because I'm a complete hack when it comes to making things from scratch like that.

ib2loud, would you be willing to make a paper template of the masonite to share?? (expenses repaid to you, of course.)

wouldn't bother me a bit, not sure where to get a big enough piece of paper though

i just used cardboard and cut and test fit, and cut some more until it fit decent, then traced it onto the masonite. You can get masonite in a 4x8' sheet for around $6 and it's very flexible wood, just really nasty to cut since it gets dark brown sawdust/powder everywhere

just let me know what material and i'll see what i can do

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Looks professional! A template would be cool.

 

[GOT]

Hey cool stuff ib2loud! I need to do that too. I'll be hauling stuff in the back and was thinking about how that plastic cover is going to get all banged and scratched up. I should also get me a piece to go over the back seats when they're closed.

 

[suzq044]

looks better than the plastic..

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Yeah, looks a lot better than plastic..matches with the seatbacks too!

(almost)

 

[holeydonut]

Now you just got to mount some amps on there and bang out some 12"s

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Haha....I think that the BA woofer is plenty loud..

 

[NIVO88T]

I like it, simple and effective

 

[suzq044]

i think wut would look better than our factory sound.. is better 'grilles' for the speakers.. so it looks less cheap.

ib2loud:

Somehow I over looked this thread and just noticed it now! I love what you did with the cargo area. I was thinking that will be one of the mods I do to mine when i get one (my luck the next year). Did you carpet both sides so you don't scratch up the vinyl? Seems like you did to me and seems like you glued the carpet to the masonite?

Excellent Job!!!!

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Noooo Joe, he shat on the masonite and the carpet magically stuck...

LMFAO, You little shit!!

Staples??

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Yeah, I'm either guessing staples, glue, or magical feces...

 

[ib2loud]

i just used 3m spray adhesive and covered it like you would a speaker box. it doesn't budge once it's in place so i'm not worried about scratching underneath. the only hard part was bending it so that it would go into the cargo area without hitting the C-pillar, but the wood is very flexible so it wasn't a problem, just had to stick the long jut on the drivers side in first and lean the rear seats forward

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Oh, I see, so it was magical shit!!!

LOL Sinan, are you obsessed with "shit" all of a sudden or is it just me?? LOLOL
