thanks alot, the edges will be hid UNDER the trim panel i have yet to make but said i still need to make

they arent supposed to be... if u look in your trunk or in my pic you will notice there is a OEM wiring (i believe its for the rear leveler but i dunno for sure) coming out of the left side (drivers side) of the car that is impossible to cover without damage. if you look at my amp rack pics, thats why it has a U shaped piece in the upper left corner to fit around this.....THEN if you look at the length of the amps its IMPOSSIBLE to make them centered with that wire back there. the ONLY way it would have looked better would be to put them side by side (left to right) and i thought about it but i liked the look of them up and down (front to back)

also in some of the pics the suede is creased and wrinkled, some of those pics i took when i was doing test fits. the last 3 pics are finalized but without the trim panel....which i havent made yet

Hmmm... I've been wondering what I could do to cover the old used back panel. Sweet. Time for me to break out the drawing board and do some suede in the trunk to match the interior

well, dont necessarily have to have the fuses showing... could have just tucked them away.

and I was implementing the incorporation of suede, not the fuses
