i removed the rear seat cushions and seat back and am looking for the panels that would go in place of the seat cushions to make like a shelf back there. anybody have a link?

 

www.speedspecialty.com there ya go, kits are nice to,good price. sorry mods, I know they are not a sponsor

 

it looks better with bare carpet. plus adding the weight back in is pretty self defeating.

 

made my own just depends on what you like and how much money you have...

and yes you are putting weight back in the car but if you take everything out including seatbelts its about a 45lbs to lets say 8-10lbs difference just depends on your preference

 

where are u guys getting the carpet. i just made my own that goes above the hump. i need carpet now

 

i used speaker box carpet...it mold easily over edges ... and i used a hot glue gun the adhesive spray didnt work so well...just picked up the carpet from a local stereo shop...most of the auto stores have the carpet dye or at least around here they do...but i left mint the gray and black combo that comes in the carpet doesnt look bad either

 

That's where mine came from.

 

If you know they are not a sponsor why do you insist on posting a link. You should of just PMed him. Anyways, I say make sure own. Someone said they used sheets of foam from the local hardware store to make a template then transfered it onto wood. Thats the way Im doing it as soon as I get some time.

 

It doesnt matter if they are a sponsor or not since none of the other sponsors make that product. As someone else so eloquently put it "Leave the moderation to the moderators!"

 

links are always helpful to someone

 

Luna beat me to it. FWIW no sponsors sell Fernco either

 

Heres mine...





I havn't dyed the carpet yet.

 

How much does that weigh?

 

I couldn't tell you the exact weight, but its probably about the same as the seats/seatbelts weighed (if not less). I used 1/4 inch plywood to help keep the weight down. Ultimately, it didn't really matter to me how much it weighed. I did it more for appearance and functionality.

 

Holy crap! Found my next mod to make!!!!

 

neonblack, you have a write up or step by step process for doing that?

Y'all should try the search function, this topic comes up at least once a week.

Here's mine.

You should highly consider making your own, because $100 or whatever they charge is a lot of money for some plywood and screws.

I made mine in an afternoon...it's 1/2" plywood and automotive carpet. It is VERY sturdy. I have had two wheels & tires sitting on it just fine, and often throw groceries/etc back there as well. I am the person that suggested taking a piece of foam insulation to cut out a template.

 

kaliente where did you get your carpet. that is the shade i need. mine looks almost exactly like yours with 2 hatches and a 10# bottle in the middle

 

I dyed it that color, it was originally light gray like the other guy's carpet.
