I just took out the carpet from my trunk along with all my tools and jack. I think it looks really clean and Im sure it saves a bit of weight so I wanna keep it this way. The only thing bothering me is that there is some white stuff on the edges where certain parts of the metal meet. What is this stuff and does it come off? If it does come off what did you use to take it off and if it doesnt come off what is the best way to cover it up because i dont really like how it looks.

 

it's a caulking type sealant of some sort...leave it be

 

Yeah its sealant. dont take it off

 

Could always get some touch up paint of the color of your car and just paint over it

 

Yea what he said ^^^^

 

If you take it off, parts wont be held together...leave it. Paint over it if you want to.

 

ok thanks guys. I guess ill just paint over it then. Cool.

 

The way you wrote that you took the carpet it out it made it sould like you actually had carpet attached to the bottom of the trunk, did you?

All I had in my car was a mat type thing that I took out the first day I drove the car.

 

just leave it.

 

well the mat and the carpets on the side and behind the seats.

 

depends on what your doing to your car.


Dedicated track car = remove

Daily Driven = do not remve

 

You can sand/grind/cut that stuff down to where it looks "less sloppy" but u need a good sanding or wire wheel to grind it down. While doing this you will make scatches everywhere and need to repaint over it and surrounding areas. So if your painting ur trunk floor you can do this. If you are not, then leave it alone.

Pretty much not worth messing with...
