Is your trunk LEVELED?

It's my first Maxima so don't mind the stupid question.

The question is, is it just me or is the floor/trunk of the maxima isn't leveled? It seems to me that the front is higher than the back

What can I do to fix this issue? It's pretty bad I guess because I can see the carpet bucking right where the spare tire is while the front is raised up

I made a whole trunk floor out of MDF using the carpet as a stencil. A piano hinge was used to join the pieces, which made it easy to get to the spare tire if needed. A lot of guys just make a new piece using the cardboard spare cover.

This was in my 99...

Nope. It still has a tiny bit of a slope but its hardly noticeable.

Here's another pic. May be a little hard to tell because of the angle.

That was a cheap setup. Audiobahn...good bang for the buck. Wouldnt buy it again though. And the grille cover was there to keep my tools in the trunk from hitting the sub.

i used a piece of particle board in my trunk. to level it out and to have something to bolt my amp/brackets to hold my subs from flying around.

i used pieces of insulation foam to fill the space between the spare and board.
