I'll post pix once I get started on my trunk. Just ordered my Bags so hoping to have the floors installed before installing the bags. Doing the floors in two pieces so I can still access the spare. As for daily use, I only drive my car for a few miles on weekends, plus I always throw **** in the back seats instead of the trunk.

My idea to keep the wood looking good is basically get a semi-clear door mat and put that over the wood and then take it out for shows.

My rule of thumb with going with hardwood floors in your trunk is. If you don't want scratches on your wood floors, don't put anything on it. If that's not an option, then don't put wood flooring in your trunk. Or be like me and put rare bamboo hardwood floors in your trunk and mount your air setup on it....

It is harder than most hardwoods, which makes it extremely durable. Additionally, bamboo is termite resistant and comes in a huge choice of stains and plank widths.
