Upgraded trunk liner, glove box liner, & more

Some easy mods to start with anyone can do.
First that flimsy cargo bay had to go so i went to home depot and got some 1/4" shelving material and made a sturdy replacement , they also had some floor matting with the rubber backing so i picked some up and got rid of the cheap matt and made one .http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/...psphfaqh3v.jpg

Then i used the same material to line the glove box and the little cubbies

That's it for now but next is an arm rest , seat covers, rubber floor matts …ect and i'll post pics when i'm done

Made some rubber floor mats , the material was $7 at home depot and it's about 3/8" thick.

Looks good!

Nice!

The only thing I would have done differently on the driver's side would have been to extend the material up the dead pedal. That carpet will wear faster. A couple of members have mentioned this already.

i made a bracket that fits under the coup holder , used a piece of solder wire to get the shape and then used some 1/8''x3/4'' steel flat stock .

then drilled clearance holes throughout the bottom of the arm rest and the coup holder , then i marked the flat stock and drilled and tapped 1/4-20 , used a little blue locktite on the bolts and the side to side wobble is at a minimum , there still is a little but i can live with it

On a side note the piano black on the dash is great , you don't need the little wafer to mount your GPS on there , just stick it on.

Last time we were at the Dealer (for the first oil change) the wife was looking at the Outlander. I took a peek inside and noticed that the Dead Pedal area you are talking about has a nice plastic cover on it and it would work perfectly in the Mirage. I was suprised they didnt add it to the floor carpet as part of the factory install because i agree with MetroMPG it will wear out faster, especialy on the corner. I think the Manual owners will notice this sooner as they are moving their feet more often. I did mention it to the dealer too.

....otherwise the car is perfect for me anyway...there were no door handles for either of the two back doors to hang laundry from the dry cleaners...I rectified that from Amazon that had an attachment for either of the two front headrests to do the job...but doesn't anyone believe in locking glove boxes any more for at least a little additional security for the interior of the car....my last three cars had the same issue...I could probably do a fix for that since I'm handy enough but really would prefer an aftermarket fix that might be somewhat cosmetically better....

Why can't I see these photos?

Crud. Looks like upflyer posted the images to a 3rd party image hosting service, and now they're gone.

This is why people should post attachments, and not use image hosting sites.

I'm interested to see how these mods turned out, is there any way you could re-upload them as attachments?

Please add the photos again, i can't see them ..

hope you can reupload the photos...

Is there a trick for seeing the photobucket pics?
