    Cutting a new trunk deck

    Hey guys
    I've been restoring what was a former rust free parts car and i've made my way to the trunk.
    Currently laying down dynamat in the trunk itself, and would eventually like to put a 1/4" MDF deck down, before cutting a custom carpet piece to lay on top of that.

    It's been difficult to source out a piece of trunk carpet locally and I can't justify spending 150+ on carpet just to trace for the laser cutter to cut the MDF..

    Does anyone have a trunk carpet they could trace out for me onto construction paper or cardboard or something? Bonus points for a CAD file. Willing to pay for the time!
    best

      You probably resolved this by now but if not...

      E30 trunk linings don't actually fit the space perfectly, also getting one in and out as a one piece would be somewhat annoying especially if you had to do a quick tire change.

      Also, don't use MDF unless you fully seal it as the trunk linings do seem to be a moisture trap. A plastic or honeycomb aluminum base would be a good way to go.

        I was just thinking about cutting a piece of mdf or something out and wrapping some sort of carpet material around it. Since i always have stuff in my trunk it has caused my carpet to cave into the spare tire hole. Plus it might allow for a better place to put compressors if i bag the car this summer. If i pull mine today i can trace it for you and send a pic if you still need it
