If I were to make just a back panel, how do I keep it in place? Bolt it to something? I just wanted to cut out a piece of wood and carpet it and cover my sub thats sitting on that shelf in the back of the trunk.

Clean car. I love the L-Sportlines. Classic. And the trunk really has the upscale look to it; like I just walked into a nice a restaurant.

Thanks again guys!

LexusK, a couple L-brackets would probably be the easiest way to attach it IMO. I'm not sure exactly where would be the best place to put them as my panel is currently held in place without any bolts or brackets by the other 3 pieces. If you're sub isn't firing up through the stock hole you might affect the sound by restricting airflow in the trunk though. Might not or might not be a negative but something to listen for if you do try it.

Thanks! Automan, car looks sick in your sig., remember seeing an early build thread a while back but hadn't seen it lately.

Nothing mind blowing but I'm happy with the trade-offs made to save space and weight. Not as loud as my previous cars but I'm getting older and that's alright with me, I don't need to be shaking windows on store fronts anymore and I haven't had useable trunk space for years. Gets pretty loud but sounds clean and blends well with non-rap music. The sub (2005 RE Audio XXX 12") and port are sealed to holes in the rear deck so minimal trunk rattle. Front stage is pretty decent considering I used stock locations; imaging and staging aren't perfect but it's loud and clear.
