Default Trunk Piece - Check it out!!

Since I have gotten my new F-body, I would put things in the driver's side fender and one good left turn, all my stuff would fall out. I tried looking and searching for "trunk kits" on the net and couldn't find anything. So I figured why not make a "sub-box" without the subwoofer. I wasn't ever going to put subs in the car anyway. The color doesn't match exactly but it will in time. Let me know what you guys think.

Yeah man that was what he was doing. Making an enclosure the same build as a stealth enclosure but with no subwoofer. Then he puts stuff in there. Mostly nuts, berries, and oats for the winter.

Thanks for the compliments. Yep, made it all myself. It took a while to get all the trimming to match up good, gotta love those dremel tools.

Also good for hiding some moonshine, LOL

Dude you read my mind. I was thinking of doing something like that since I recently removed my CD changer. Great job man. Now I have a visual in my head.
