I highy recommend not using the "picnic mat". In my experience water will get trapped under it and will cause rust.

 

My trunk looked like utter crap aswell so I stripped it down to clean metal, primered it, and still need to rust proof it. Then I will put down some dynomat and have a local shop custome carpet it for me.

 

BS. My original trunk is still rust free. It's called maintenance. Any metal, if not properly prepped, will rust. Carpet or trunk liner is not the diverse mechanism to stop and prevent rust. You can have rust under carpet just as easily as under the original covers in the trunks of our dinosaurs. The visual aspect is all that you will achieve by spending money on the trunk area. Like I said before, "who sees your trunk other than you?"

 

if your trunk dont leak and you have no bare metal it wont rust you could do the spay on bed liner just take the tank out and have them spray the trunk

 

heyyyyyyyyy ive posted a link to the trunk carpet kit before, i didnt get any love!!!!!!!!!! just kidding i dont really care....but i plan to get it, looks so awersome.

 

AMEN to that Soaring. if its prepped and kept correctly there is no reason for this. plus carpet can hold alot more moisture.! Our cars will live on forever as long as they are taken care of and maintained in a proper and correct way.!

 

I just velcroed a portable propane mini heater/camp stovein the trunk to prevent moisture!!

 

Can you spell KABOOOOOM!

 

Why not use a gasoline type heater, i can think of a really convenient fuel source [sm=smiley4.gif]

 

but I burn waaaaaay too much gas in the car as it is!
