Tired of saggy spare tire covers? Step inside...

I did this a while ago but never showed it off. It's a great solution to the crappy hardboard Nissan uses for the spare tire cover...lightweight and extremely effective. Looks pretty too!










I did the full writeup in the audio forum, so here's the link. Feel free to post comments!

I am now selling this product for those that are interested:

looks nice, but i'll just keep my piece of wood i found in my garage there. It performs all the function, with none of the work.

hol'up, is that a fold down rear seat? Nice, I'd like one of those. Oh, your car is a 5th gen. It's good to see Nissan finally put in a fold down seat and not just an armrest that opens up.

I like it but my full spare trick does the same. Any other secrets you're hiding from us?

Me and Aaron know - it's right on your 18th bday when that happens...beware...

BTW, I admired your work in the audio forum, but I'll say it here: that looks great. I'm hating that piece of saggy wood in my trunk...

Getting to the spare, getting it into the trunk, and extra weight was unnecessary. The rest of the trunk is flat except for the spare tire well.
