Hisalone Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hey guys. Looking for ideas, here. My trunk is empty besides the battery and the 2 fuel pumps mounted in it. It has no liner, carpet, etc. so I'm brainstorming how I want it finished. All ideas and pictures of your own are welcomed. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just something nice that will not detract from the rest of the car since they want me in World of Wheels come springtime. My wife made the mistake of suggesting the same orange and black theme found under the hood and the interior. Now I can't get that great albeit more expensive idea out of my head. So, what do ya got?

monte70car Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Joel here is what I did in my trunk its a 1/4" alum plate with a blue vinyl bow tie, it's simple and hides the back of the rear seat and the subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I used the precut trunk panels from www.shiny-hiney.com and wrapped them in Black Vinyl/Gray Carpet... You get 10% off there...

MGD72Monte Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Here are some more ideas. The carpet is simply outdoor carpet from any home renovation store. Parts I picked up cheap from a junk yard: - compact spare (repainted) - scissor jack (cleaned up) - trunk light set up (various parts from 90s cars, hooked into the existing trunk wiring harness and the light fits right in the existing opening in the rear deck lid just as if it was designed to go there and does a great job at lighting up the trunk area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisalone Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Interesting. My friend wants to carpet it and build a removable box that hides the battery and fuel pumps along with all the lines for a very clean look like under the hood. Don't know if I want to go that in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone here has pics of Jay from pa's trunk. It's a work of art! His screen name here is Gerard Munday I can't find them in my pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Munday Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Andreas, posted some in the gallery from the eastern meet. I don't have any and don't know how to past them if I did . Thanks for the nice word Tony. Mike Boyte has a great trunk also, Jay and Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I kept my trunk stock and freshened it up with Dupli-Color trunk paint. I did a tribute to my Uncle (it was originally his car from new) The hard plastic spare tire cover is from a Kia Sportage. You could put anything you wanted to on the cover. I wrote the poem, found the logos etc and told our Graphic Artist at work what I was looking for. He made it up on his computer and I emailed it to a local guy who does vehicle wraps who printed it off. First I sanded and rattle can painted the cover, covered the edge of it with black door edge guard and then applied the sticker. I keep my jack hook and fire extinguisher under the cover.

cbolt Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Is that a full size spare under the Kia Sportage cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You bet cbolt. It is a full size spare with the original jack under it. The cover just rests on the top and doesn't need to be fastened as it doesn't slide around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boyte Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Jay Munday has the trunk that most MONTE owners would give their left...arm (family site) for. Jay's trunk is a work of art. Second to none, As is his whole car!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Nice, I now have trunk envy! Gotta look for a Sportage cover as it will look better than my current cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
