My girlfriend's civic doesnt have a trunk lid liner. I want to put deadener on it, but I dont want it to show when you open it. What are some of your ideas?

Thanks!

you could cover the sound deadener with some automotive carpet. Just attach it to the underside with spray fabric adhesive after you apply the deadener. You should be able to get a color which will match the trunk liner pretty closely. You may want to roll a little of the carpet over on the edges to make it look a little more finished.

Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while; you could miss it.

Sounds pretty easy. Will it hold?

Has anyone done anything similar? It would be easy to put a logo in the carpet right? Behind the carpet when i adhere it? Or would it only be noticable with vinyl?

I hear Dynamat may offer their product with a "Shag" finish in the future. Disguising Trunk Sound Deadener -- posted image.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

If the othe half never looks under the trunk lid, it makes a great place to mount some "good" calenders from Snap-On and the likes. I guarantee that no-one will notice the deadener....what deadener, there was deadener there? Where? All I saw was Miss July.....
