Carbon Fiber Spare tire cover??
Hey people...im sure most of you have had the problem where the cardboard/fiber/wood covering over the spare tire well has caved in, warped, or just plain looks like sh*t. Has anyone used any other material besides plywood? I was thinking of using 2 layers of the carbon fiber mat found at tap plastics, hardned with their resin. Nothing flashy..just something light and strong to cover up the hole, and not cave in due to my sub box. Any suggestions? Fiberglass pehaps?

I think cabon fiber would be rather excessive as there are other options of the same weight, and since you won't see it (covered by carpet), the "look" is gone as well.
I put 3/4" fiberboard over the whole trunk. Although not shown in the pics, I cut it in half so that it is easier to take out. And yes, I put the carpet ontop.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
