Redone Raised Trunk 90% complete

Hey guys well i wanted to havea 15" steelie as a spare instead fo a donut.... so me n my frineds decided to redo my trunk and raise it about 2 inches...

those 2 inches gave me enfuf room to put a steelie in all my Nissan accesory stuff and my window visior that alwasy layedaround my trunk )


now its not fully done we were knida in rush at the end ran of time but its 90% done..

we need to add an extra piece in to fill int he gap and another wall over the amps with plexi glass with some neon lighting behind it ))

Very nice, dude! That's a cool idea, and I like how everything is arranged, even the sub. Did you run out of carpet that the one piece is uncovered, though, or what? Either way, looks great.

That is a great idea. I was actually looking into doing something similar. The stock piece that covers the spare tire well is useless.

this way the sub dont hit as hard, but tis purely sound quality...

i lost 85% of rattle through out the car.... i didnt use any sort fo sound deadening at all.

I dunno how the passengers feel lol didnt hvae any yet lol!

best part all of the material and wood came out to 22 bucks!!!

Very clean. I was gonna have a some wood cut the shape of my trunk, but my local Lowes doesn't do rounded cuts, only 90 degree ones.

you can get a cheap jigsaw from lowes for around 30 bucks and make any rounded cuts you want..... really easy to use, we used a hardboard since it weights about 100 times less than using mdf or plyboard, and really the trunk additions we made wiegh at most 15lbs, all the wood isnt wood entirely lol its cheap ikea furniture type crap..... nice on the outside cheap crap or hollow inside

What's so bad about using a donut? Just curious. Being a weight reduction junkie, I contemplate removing my donut, jack, etc....

Nice work though. Be sure to post finished pics.
