wow didn't know this thread was still alive....
In fact i have it Copy-written already so law requires you pull it out and burn it! LOL. No for real post some pics. I made the post so that others can enjoy my car and enjoy their own. If every just kept their ideas to themselves the industry would die.

Anyone ever seen where you can take old pallet boards, sand them and then create awesome looking wood fixtures for little to no price. Also, greetings from 2015

I am doing this project in the spring.
Do the three pieces move around and / or make noise when you drive?
I am planning on using hardwood (as close to my interior as possible - 2000 LS400).
I am also planning on putting in a hinged door for the spare wheel, but if the whole thing won't fit in one piece, I may have to do three like you.
Don't listen to the nay sayers, it is your trunk, enjoy it!

old thread but yes do at least two pieces or you will not be able to get it in/out with one.
did the same for my air suspension tank, but i covered it in carpet instead to dampen sound. i traced the stock trunk liner but added 0.5" extra for a tighter fit. it does not move since mine is a snug fit and the carpet adds more friction to keep it steady.

got my stuff here, not sure if they ship to canada however. no shedding, lightweight, and easy to contour around curves. i used the speaker box carpet. it's much harder to use carpets with backing.

i also used V&S adhesive 1081, found it much better than 3m! works even for the headliners!
it's been almost 2 years and the carpet is holding great. the key is to spray on both the carpet and the wood, wait for a few seconds, then apply together.
i got the glue here.
