i will show the finish product when done. I know it's hard to tell by the pic but it sits perfectly flush, super happy with the outcome and sturdy enough to hold the spare the few times i'll have it in the car
nicely done!!

Ive gone back and forth and have decided on keeping the OEM spare. Ive got some road trips coming up so better safe than sorry, and I take my kiddos on Costco runs on the weekend.

glad to see this is an option in case I ever change my mind. Thanks for sharing!

Was swapping to my summers today so I test fitted the ModernSpare, please excuse the dirty calipers, but confirming that it does indeed clear them!

My only gripe is that the rim is not hubcentric, but it comes with a plastic hub ring.

As.promised, here is the final look and glad to be part of the flat trunk floor family. 20$ for the 1/4" hardboard, 12$ for the spray paint and the carpet was supplied with the car.
