So i was thinking that i want to fiberglass my whole trunk but keep it almost like it is now but just raise the bottom alittle so i cna fit my sub in the spare tire hole. u guys think thats a good idea or not? im have been going back and fourth with it and im not sure. The reason i say the whole think is because the plastic sides are crackign some what so i thought why not redo the whole thing. I would paint the sides that would be painted black and put plexglass around the sub with black underneath.
PS i was thinking of using chicken wire so that if it turns out bad i can just take it out and try something differnt. What do yall think?? i dont knwo if its good idea or not |

I saw a how-to/web article years ago where somebody did this to some car, and they used heavy duty aluminum foil to coat the trunk with, then fiberglassed on that to get a perfect mold of the trunk. Then they built their new trunk on top of that mold. I have no idea where I saw that, I think someone had done it to a Supra, but I'm not sure anymore.
