I am really happy with the way it turned out. I figured if I was going to make one I might as well show other mustang fans the process. Thanks again for the ideas and inspiration.
this is awesome! i plan on getting a 03-04 mach 1 when i get back from basic training for the army, when i do...im def doing this...awesome idea man mad props
man that came out really nice, and whats crazy is a shop will charge you a arm and a led for that and what was that like $30.00 bucks for everything. really nice...
Thanks for the great feedback, there does appear to be some interest in me making these. You are correct that I could crank these out. I just wouldn't feel good about charging people as much as it would take to make it a profitable business.
sheez Proud of u buddy..thats what a call a smart person and a great job everyone should know that when you want to achieve you can do it no matter what. excellent video.
It was very kind of you to share this great feedback, thank you for watching and taking the time to post. Your words mean a lot to me, you are appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback, yes that is 1/4" plywood, the velcro is tough stuff, you should staple the velcro to the plywood (left that step out of the vid). It is possible that your subs could rumble the velcro apart but there is only one way to find out. Good luck man, I would love to see your bass test!
A fabric store. Pretty much all of them will have it, I got a few small samples and tested them against the trunk material before deciding on the smoke color. Amazon has a link to an online fabric store too, product there is called "Smoke Gray Wool Felt". Good luck.
Man, that is sooooo cool, i always tought about how ugly the trunk looked on my car, you gave me a great idea, plus, i have a piece of fabric and some wood laying around so this will be piece of cake and super cheap, thanks!!
Search for embroidery shops in your area, if you have a Bullitt the font was called Broadway, but the B in Bullitt had to be handmade. I took in a rubbing from the kick plate in my car so we could make sure the font turned out perfectly. The lettering in mine was done using vinyl iron on lettering like you see on tee shirts (only thicker), it worked very well for me and was less expensive than embroidery, though embroidery would have been cool too.
Great job man!!!! I’m doing my 09 Mustang. I am going to install the LED lights in the trunk like your other video then do the liner. Thanks for the help
I had that done at an embroidery shop, originally I was going to have them embroider the logo on the material, but that proved to be too expensive (more than 100). I liked the vinyl lettering though and it was much more affordable at 20 dollars.
Thanks for the great feedback, and good luck on your project. If you take your car to shows, a hand made one of a kind liner like this sets you appart. Other mustang nuts and the judges usually ask me where I bought it.
Thank you for hanging in there for the full 17 minutes, I try to keep these videos short, but sometimes they take more time than they should. Thanks for taking the time to leave a nice comment.
Sorry to hear this man, I really have to work to tear mine down from the trunk lid, I used "Velcro Extreme Tape", you can find it on amazon, or the home depot. If that's the same stuff you used, I am not sure what's up.
It came out great. Can't get the Velcro to keep it up there. Every couple of time opening the trunk it on floor. I put 4 feet worth on there. The only fun part was wrapping it in fabric. I
I am starting to think I should start making and selling these, but sorry to say that no I didn't plan to turn this into a product/business so I don't have a way to sell them and wouldn't even know what to charge. My goal was to show other mustang owners how to duplicate it if they liked the idea. I am honored that you would want me to make one for you though.
Thank you for the nice feedback. I have another video on this channel called "Installing Strip Lights in the Trunk of a 2001 Mustang" that you should check out. In it I walk you through how to make and install the LED strips. I hope you have fun with your project.
great job! not sure how i got here, but that is amazing. looks factory. only thing that could make it different or better would be if you embroidered it but no point in spending that money for something in the trunk.
Hey I hope this hadn’t been asked yet I see a ton of comments. If you were going to make one of these to mount storage to, like the covercraft ones available, how much thicker do you think you could get the plywood to bear the weight while not getting in the way of closing the trunk?
You are very kind, but I couldn't take your money. There are options out there if you want something premade that's almost as good. I do think you could make one though, and you'll be really proud of it if you do.
where did you find the letters to embroider them on the fabric?? I've searched numerous arts and craft stores and none of them carried the letters. thanks for all your help!!
Im wondering if this would work with the underside of the hood too? Either to just put over the grey heat absorber thing under the hood (cant think of the name of it lol) for car shows or to leave it there permanently
I would not recommend a DIY hood liner. It get's hot under there. 3M does make a spray adhesive that can take the high heat, but I would be very careful about the materials you choose to put in your engine compartment.
Hey Auto DIY, how is the longevity of your trunk lid mat holding up? I decided to make one for my 04 Cobra after watching your video. I had to do several revisions while making it, I couldn't find the same fabric locally. After issues with glue bleeding through, and the vinyl letters not sticking (girlfriend does made them) I finally got it made and it looks amazing! Only issue now is getting the velcro to stick to it. I will try the staple idea next, just seen that in the comments. Awesome video btw, I'm glad I did this. Does your velcro still hold after this many years?
+Arct1czer0 That extreme Velcro stuff is super strong, the Velcro's adhesive on the wood just didn't want to hold when the sun warmed it up. After stapling the Velcro to the liner it hasn't budged. It is a big hit at car shows as I am sure yours will be. Thanks for posting your feedback.
I'm going to do this with my 01 cobra but going to look into finding a better way to attach it. Do you know how the that you can buy attach? I wonder If I could use them push pins that you use for attaching panels? Either way I'm saving this video it turned out well.
I think you should add up material is which you said was 80 buck and add 10 - 15 bucks for every hour it takes to build and then charge that amount for one so im trying to say sell them from 100-120 apiece if u wanna make money
Great video!!! I already have my cardboard template made but I just have a couple questions. First one is referring to the bottom corner on the drivers side. There is a notch cut out for the wire harness on the wood template yet you can't see it after the foam and wool is on it. Did you have to do something special to cover that area or did you just wrap the fabric over it like the rest of it? Reason I ask is because if it is just wrapped like the rest, wouldn't that corner sit a little higher because the wool that is wrapped around would be blocking that notch on the back side ( I hope this makes sense)? Second question. I'm assuming you used 1/4" staples?
Thank you for the kind comments and great questions. 1. Good eye, yes I notched the wood to get around the wire harness, but I did not notch the wool or foam, the depth of the wood with the forgiveness of the foam did a nice job of hiding the harness without having to compromise the uniformity of the cover. 2. Yes those are T50 1/4" 6mm staples. Good luck with your project, I hope you have a good time with it.
this trunk liner should come with the bullitt. very nice work
What a great complement! Thank you for watching and posting.
I am really happy with the way it turned out. I figured if I was going to make one I might as well show other mustang fans the process. Thanks again for the ideas and inspiration.
Very nice, now I want to make one for my cobra , thanks for sharing this video
closed himself in the trunk lol. great vid really helpful.
this is awesome! i plan on getting a 03-04 mach 1 when i get back from basic training for the army, when i do...im def doing this...awesome idea man mad props
You'll love your Mach1, those shaker hoods are badass! Thank you for the great feedback, I appreciate it. Good luck in basic, stay safe out there.
man that came out really nice, and whats crazy is a shop will charge you a arm and a led for that and what was that like $30.00 bucks for everything. really nice...

Wow, that's a fantastic job. I knew the technique but the Velcro idea is perfect. I'm making one this week. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your positive feedback, I hope you have fun with your project.

didn't expect to give a thumbs up tonight...you got 1 !

nice job man..great idea thanks for the demo

I just made mine today. Did the LEDs last week. Only put 20 LEDs though. Thanks for the video. PS: You made the templating part look easy.
Thanks for the friendly feedback, I really appreciate it.
awesome idea. Got mine installed today. Looks awesome.
+Jon Rohrbaugh Love it, thanks for posting your feedback.
+Auto DIY hey man can you give me a list of stuff you used to do your own trunk lid
Awesome, how did it turn out? Thanks for the great feedback, sorry about making it look easy, was it at least a fun project?
Great job man!!!! I’m doing my 09 Mustang. I am going to install the LED lights in the trunk like your other video then do the liner. Thanks for the help
Thank you for the kind feedback, I appreciate it.
Great job on that cover looks awesome
Thank you for watching and posting your kind feedback.
Not a problem your welcome
That looks so great man, major props!
Thank you for the nice comment, you are appreciated.
Thats freakin super slick! Good job man!
Great feedback, glad that you dig it. Thanks for watching
Awesome video. Detailed. Thank you
Thank you for watching and taking the time to post your kind feedback.
I am glad you like it, I would love to see how yours turns out. Thank you for taking the time to leave such nice feedback.
I haven't used mirror inserts, but I have seen others who have used plexi (easier to cut) and they do look good.
I had that done at an embroidery shop, originally I was going to have them embroider the logo on the material, but that proved to be too expensive (more than 100). I liked the vinyl lettering though and it was much more affordable at 20 dollars.
Awesome job man looks great ill be doing that to my Cobra very soon!
I suppose you could, the 3M adhesive is amazing stuff. Good luck with it.
Thanks so much, I will eventually use these tips to create one for my 03 Cobra!👍
Very and detailed tutorial. I am definitely doing this. Subscribed!
Thank you for the sub, I appreciate your positive feedback. I hope it turns out even better than you expect it to.
Thanks for the great feedback, and good luck on your project. If you take your car to shows, a hand made one of a kind liner like this sets you appart. Other mustang nuts and the judges usually ask me where I bought it.
That looks good and truly inspiring.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to post your kind and generous feedback.
Thanks man, this was a fun one. Now if I could just make my own bed rug for my truck... ;>
Randomly found this but awesome tutorial man! Might have to do something like this now! lol You earned a sub and a like for sure my friend :)
I am glad you found this, and thank you for the like, sub, and for taking the time to leave such nice feedback, I sincerely appreciate it.
Wow!! really really nice!! I actually watched all 17 min lol

That was a great how to!!! I have been wanting to do one for me 03 Cobra but can't find the fabric that you had in your video.
The fabric was called smoke wool, check with a fabric store near you and ask for help, hopefully they will be able to hook you up.
This looks great. Great job.
Great job man. I will try to do the same for my 05 GT.
sweet job man , good work
Looks great! And thanks for the informative well presented video, really helpful. Cheers
Matthew Dougan Thanks taking the time to leave the positive feedback, I appreciate it.
Glue is fine. Stapled it like you said below. Its the Velcro itself. I bought industrial strength. I think I might have to screw it on. :(
Very impressive!!! Great job!!
Pretty neet!! Love the bullitt
Super nice man
this was a very awesome and detailed video all in all how much did this cost you?
You are very kind to leave this comment.
Bro this video was so helpful thank you so much great work
Thanks for watching and posting your positive feedback.
I am glad you like it, thanks for taking the time to comment.
that is so awesome! great work! i would totally pay you to make me one.
Great vid. Fantastic job. Might want to sell these if you can get some interest. Nothing like a little disposable cash in your hand.
Is the Velcro glue failing or the Velcro itself isn't holding? If the glue isn't sticking to the liner you made, try stapling the Velcro to the liner.
Nice work and great vid bro you actually explain how to
Thanks for watching and posting your kind feedback.
Can you do a video on how to do the lower half to like inclose the truck with speakers
WOW That Is Bad Ass Man I Think Im Going To Try This On My 98 Mustang I WIll Let You Know How It Comes Out But Bad Ass Video Man And IT Looks Sick!!!

Font is size 250 in MS word, the font style is Broadway with a customized B to match the logo.
Cool! I know what I'm doing next weekend.
I think you should add up material is which you said was 80 buck and add 10 - 15 bucks for every hour it takes to build and then charge that amount for one so im trying to say sell them from 100-120 apiece if u wanna make money
How did u cut the inside cuts? I saw u cut the pointed corners. I’m having trouble with that.
can i follow the same steps to customize the entire trunk , floor and sides?
Wow good job
Thanks for posting your kind comment
Thank you for the very kind feedback, it was less than 75 dollars but could have been less. The complete materials list is in the description.
Excellent.

Auto DIY Awesome!! Thanks for the quick response!!! This is my winter project seeing how I can't drive my Mach 1 till Spring. :(
I feel your pain, my Bullitt is hibernating too. It is good you are finding ways to enjoy your mach1 in the winter without coating it in salt.
Very nice, What would you charge to make me one of those?
Nice man,
very nicely done sir! u should ship me the card board template lol...
Thank you :)
Good shit man
not bad for a print & DIY..
where did you get the smoke color wool from?
do you know where I can purchase a trunk lid liner , I have had no luck searching
