Default Photo Request: Hardwood Floor Trunk?

I saw a very clean trunk set up with Air tank and Cherry Hardwood floor. Searched everywhere but can't find it. Anyone know or have this picture? Need it for reference.

Much appreciated.

Thanks,

Yeah I'm going to make it myself for sure. I've seen many Wooden floor trunks, but there was a specific one I saw here on the "post your trunk" tread but can't seem to find it.

Heres an idea why not match the wood in the interior to the trunk? I would go to a specialty wood supplier and find something exotic with funky marble pattern, and a nice stain to match the interior. Instead of doing flooring, you can also use wood strips and glue them together. Top sand the whole thing flat, stain it, top coat it with like laquer, wet sand and buff it out.

I think the brick firewall would look good too, and a glass sliding door instead of the windshield.

Not a GS but the optional wood trunk in the CLS shooting brake

I think wood in the trunk just looks goofy lol, talk about scratches galore on a nice cherry oak solid wood. Maybe for a show car, sure..but not for daily use =/
