I took off the rear seats few days ago and today i figured out the way to make a custon aluminum plate thats would work nicely and look smooth, i coverd it with black carpet ( bought it in a audio shop )
LMK what u think

Looks good i'm wanting to do something like that.

 

I want to do this too. It looks good.

 

Awesome! Probably the best I've seen on NAM. It looks clean, blends well, and has a threshold so that things don't slide forward. Great job!

 

Looks good But the aluminum I imagine
doesn't lend itself to high weight loads?

(I did my own too but I used 3/4 ply
and went all the way to the boot hatch)

 

do you have a picture of it? I want to do something like that. I used ply wood too, but did only the part where the seats went, not all the way to the boot.

 

its a .125 ( 1/8 ) aluminum , if u gonna seat on u will feel it but it would not bend...

 

Check out the youification thread I started, page 4 has photos and the details of how I did it, PM me if oyu like what you see and I'll take some measurements for you.

 

Very nice. If you don;t mind, what were the dimensions of the aluminum and did you have to bend it at all?

 

yes i bend it in front and in the end, as for the dimensions its kinda hard to tell as I took paper and i kinda draw a cut out the sides so it looks like its touchin the sides nicely

 

What kind of tools would I need for this? I was thinking about getting a rear seat delete, but it is a bit heavy for my car when i'm trying to put it on a diet.

 

that looks really good. I don't like the ones that you can buy; this looks way better.

 

it looks really good

 

i bend that piece at work , and i just cutted with jigsaw at home to me it fit ( sides)

 

Looks good - nice job!

 

when you take out the seat.. i got the buttom part of the seat taken out.. but how do i take out the back part of the seat, the one that fold down.. i have a hard time take that out.

 

Looks like its time to abuse my pass to the school's machine shop...

Search is good

 

Would 2ft x 4ft of 1/8in aluminum stock be enough to do this?

 

i would sya u would need a piece that is 48 x 36, if u live close i can get u a lot of it ( i work in aluminum werehouse )

How far is Ann Arbor from there? My local metal wholesaler quoted me $100 for a 4x4 piece, so it would be $75 for the 4x3. After gas, it would probably be cheeper and easier for me to get it localy...

 

i leave in streamwood, il 60107 , i would say 3hr drive.....

 

Can I give you a list and you ship? I'll pay the shipping...... and I'll send you some beer or something else to bribe you with! (yes money too) if the price is right

 

i can ship it, np but u guys need to know the shiping would not be cheap but i dont think it would be something like 100... i would say maybe 30-40 bucks, i can have those pieces maybe by the end of this week or next week...
