recarpet the trunk
#1
recarpet the trunk
on an 06 Monte.
I popped the trunk and was hoping to find some carpet molded to plastic molding on the inside. I didn't.
Instead it was just molded carpet supporting its own weight with nothing behind it.
Has anyone here recarpeted the trunk to their 06-07 Monte? how'd you do it?

theres nothing behind it, its just carpet supporting itself, thats why it seems like he wants to recarpet

You know on that one show...Pimp My Ride... its so awesome when they open the trunk to a couple subs and amps and there is bright green carpeting.
Thats what I'm going for. If I don't end up liking it...I'll just close the trunk!

your local audio shops will refer you to there local upholstery shops that can help you out. they make all kind of dies that come in spray paint cans. you can try them.
i would think that only red,black would cover the gray. im going to do mine in black when the sun comes out.
i would think doing something like that yourself would turn out bad, unless you cut up some mdf and re-shaped the trunk layout. then its easy to wrap and staple the panels. you can go to places like jo-ann fabrics, or fabric stores in general for all kinds of options. a lot of people use marine vinal, but if your goijng for carpet and automotive carpet should work. you might be able to buy a light color and dye it any color you want.
its a long process, if you dont know what your doing. GL

Heres what I got for ya.... Marine vinyl can be purchased at any local fabric store (NOT WALMART) in any color you can imagine.... what I did was make carboad templates of panels that I created out of wood, then covered them in the vinyl giving it that finished look. Yes, granted I have a stereo setup in there, but the same can be done with just re doing the liner. Hope this helps and if you have any further questions, PM me and I will give ya more details if needed!
