Default Custom Trunk Mat Installed

Well the trunk mat I was so happy to finally find has arrived and tonight I installed it. The whole thing took about 11 days to my door which I felt was very quick and faster than his estimate for completion although, i cant guarantee each order will be that fast I did enjoy getting mine quick. So here are install pics

This is sunken mirror with the letters painted in azure blue color.





Contact Phil @ http://www.granddesignmat.com/ to inquire about a custom order for you.

Looks great. I made one for mine. Looks identical to that, but I didn't put any lettering on it. Nice touch!

for now stay with what I have and get some meaty tires. I was really wanting a larger wheel but realized that I couldnt get a good quality performance tire in a decent size in the 19" tire. I mean most of them are great tires but they are around 295/30 and I didnt want that small of a profile on such a big rim....didnt want rubber band tires. I liked the style I have so buying a new set of 18" didnt make sense right now

the trunk as you may know on our cars is fiberglass, as is the front hood. Anyway, I took a 1/8" drill bit and wrapped it in electrical tape about a 1/4" down on the bit. This made sure the drill bit didnt "punch" through too fast and damage the top layer of the trunk. I did that with the larger 1/4" bit also and it was cake. I just made sure I marked the holes real good with the sharpie and I was set.

The electrical tape trick isnt mine, it suggests that in the directions.....works great LOL
