Default boot lid decoration

after finishing my boot build last year i kept lookin at the boot lid and it let the rest of it down so much, after lookin through the internet for ideas i found none, so i just made it up as i went along. i started by takin the boot lid off and then attack it with the fibre glass, at this point i still had no idea what i wanted to do then i came up with the idea of an oversized subaru badge lit from behind, so thats the way i went.

what do you think???

You do like playing with fibreglass dont you!

Good job mate, must have taken a lot of time and effort to get it right. Nice install too - hate to think how much it all weighs.

Not sure, seems like alot of work for a boot light!!!

Why didn't you mould some speakers into? pointless I know. But it seems you're more about look than function, and with the boot open as much as I'm sure you have it, this would give you some good sounds.

On another note, please add the photos the the thread next time, it was a ball ache having to go back and forth all the time.

Hi mate,

i've been looking for someone to do this for ages, i've seen a kenwood sponsored newage scoob at trax this. heres the thread to when i asked guys from talkaudio.co.uk about what i should do with my bootlid

How to fabicate my boot lid? fibreglass or something else?(pics) - Talk Audio Forums

from the pics in the links i have finished the foaming an trimmed it all back so there is nothing outside the bootlid line.

could i be really cheeky and ask for abit of a writen step by step guide for me?

i've never done fiber glassing before.

Do you think its possible and have the boot off the car for only about 4-5 days.
