Custom Trunk Panels

Can someone please tell me where to order them because I have searched the site and cannot come up with anything and also what is the correct name for the panel?

They're really easy to make. its a piece of wood wrapped in fabric. most car audio shops can do it for you

I decided to build my own here is a pic of it before I wrap it

That looks good..I've always wanted to do this

I think i'm get done with this car...Maybe cuting a buick symbol out & back lighting it...

Thanks I thought it would be harder than it really was but I just printed the letters traced them on to a board & cut them out same with the stock trunk lid cover placed on board and traced it. Just need to figure out how I want to wrap it. You have any suggestions

looks good man. whats it stand for?

**bct717** · 05-12-2009

Thanks, Me and my children's intials.
What do you think I should use to wrap it?

**carl06GT** · 05-12-2009

well i would start by cleaning uo all your edges and then i would get some thin foam to cover the wood and then rap it in black suede

lol..i was hoping you would help me with tha wraping part..

It maybe easier to wrap tha letters by themselves..then do tha backing...

suade would be sweet...

Then you can do tha letter in one color & tha backing on another to give it more pop..

how do you plan on mounting it?

**bct717** · 05-12-2009

I was going to buy some fabric paint for like car interior and paint the letters red after I wrapped it in black suede.

I have holes drilled in the would in the same places where the factory piece mounts up and I tested it and it fits just like the other piece just need some longer screws since its thicker so I will probably use anchors in the holes and just screw into them.

it would be much easier to wrap the board and letters seperately especially if you want 2 colors

**BlownBigBlock** · 05-13-2009

How heavy is that thing? Like the idea, what size particle board did you use?

**bct717** · 05-13-2009

Its really light maybe 8-10 lbs if that. 1/4" board
