Thanks...and yes...it's just mdf hardboard and speaker box carpet.

Here's some more pics:

Maybe could I get a write-up on how to the backseat like that and the trunk also?

looks like a nice weight addition, i'd use some thin paneling if your gonna do that

I e-mailed the guy and asked him how to do it, its just MDF and sub box carpet. He said it takes time to fit it. I replaced the trunk in my civic with plywod and covered it up with carpet, the hardest part was getting the wood in. Use your trunk carpet as a guide for cutting the wood. Anymore questions I'd be happy to answer. I got a good idea of how its done now.

As are your 17in rims...seriously, If I were to have used something lighter/thinner, I'd never be able to place anything heavy on it. Weight reduction means nothing for daily driving. It's not bolted down to the floor so I take it out when I go the track or auto-x. It's not to hard to make either, just take some measurements with your back seat out, draw a template on some cardboard and cut/testfit until it fits snug. That's pretty much the key to getting it to fit right without having to bolt it down. I used MDF hardboard and speakerbox carpet. Good luck.

Nah...I just give everyone the same reply: "Measure, cut, testfit, cut, testfit, cut, fit".

as the reason i'm getting rid of them, thats why i suggested THIN paneling like they used on older homes

THIN paneling like they used on older homes

And if I set something like: My tool box or jack on it, it would definately break. Use whatever you wish...I'm only stating the reason for the weight/thickness of material I used.
