goto home depot and get a piece of corregated plastic and trace the old one and cut it out...its better than that cheap *** pressed cardboard that comes stock

its water resistant, doesnt bed as easily and looks better...infact most cars have this material nowadays anwyays!

crap, it aint that hard to make it without having one...just look and test fit and cut to size

I'll take corregated plastic anyday over that crap honda gives you

this is what it looks like...basically plastic cardboard! (way stronger than cardboard though)

My old one was pretty well destroyed too. I just got a sheet of plywood I had and traced around the best I could - most of my old one was broken off so I JUST ESTIMATED. I had to trim a little to make it fit nice.

Yeah I agree with cynikal and lofty...just make your own. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as OEM just guess first and make it a bit larger than needed than trim off the extra slowly.... honda and junkyards will probably rape you for a piece that's basically cardboard... take this chance to make something that's better than OEM

another plus about plywood - when you load up the trunk with ALOT of weight (numerous cases or beer, engines) the plywood doesnt break

Just borrow off someone else and trace it, no big deal.

thats sweet, i think theres a company that makes these, cuz I knew the preveious owner (only other owner) of my car and he had one in his/now my car! this was like 6 years ago! It pounded pretty hard, i was impressed. I dont think it was custom made, who knows maybe it was...

hide the amp and its stealthy from theives!
