My trunk build...update got my carbon fiber hood
well im finally getting around to fixing up my trunk. Im so tired of not having any trunk space because of my speakers so im fiberglassing some boxes in my trunk..
here is all the stuff i needed minus the speaker rings and the cloth that will go over it
i worked a little on it tonight. its alot thicker then it looks lol but still not any where close to being as thick as i need it..
i will prolly work on it tomorrow so ill post up more pics

My buddy did this to his Corrolla. He was going to do 2, but money/time ran short. So he just has one. One sounds really good, but he still wants to finish it with 2.
Have fun, and dont let the fibers get to you

made some more progress on my trunk
got the whole thing out and most of the tape ripped off so i can see the spots i need to make stronger.
after i make it stronger ill get the dowell rods and speaker ring in place so i can figure out the depth and all that stuff
