Looks good man, my trunk mat is mud stained so I might want to do this too. Where did you get the carpeting and what thickness was the plywood you used?

the auto section..and yeah it does come in a roll...but it's too small, theres a line near the bottom (not pictured) wher ei had to staple to connect the second peice. its not noticeable when ur looking in the trunk from a normal distance, but if you get closer in you can see where the carpet ends, and the other begins. thats why i'm gonna look for a bigger peice so i can re upholster it
