E39-Bimmer's 1998 BMW 5-Series


My goal was to hide my subwoofer box. Giving the look of a factory made trunk. Well kinda anyway.

This is what i'm trying to hide E39-Bimmer's 1998 BMW 5-SeriesE39-Bimmer's 1998 BMW 5-Series
I made this to hide the box but I knew I didn't want just a wooden look. E39-Bimmer's 1998 BMW 5-SeriesE39-Bimmer's 1998 BMW 5-Series

So I went to IDC Trim & Upholstery Supply and purchased factory matching trunk carpet and had it customized. I even had my signature stiched on it. See the photos:

Now to finish the front side of my Subwoofer box.
When you look at the subwoofer/subwoofer box through the ski bag hole you see the wood around the subwoofer. It would look so much better if it matched the interior.

These pictures show the process of covering the exposed portion of the subwoofer box.
