Parts required: Styrofoam for making wreathes. Commonly found at craft shops like Michael's. Roughly you will need enough rings to make a height of about 6.5 inches.I used 3 rings that were 1-15/16ths thick and 1 solid disk that was just 15/16ths thick.

Tools required : Caulk gun if using my method of gluing things together.

Number of people : 1

Difficulty : 2. Simply because it is more difficult that installing floor mats.

Time to complete 10-15 minutes.

Step 1 : Glue the rings together and disk together using a glue that is safe for foam board. Can be found at Home Depot or Lowe's.






Step 2 : Remove rear trunk cover Jack, tire wrench and spare tire.



Step 3 : Remove the two foam pads. The one I'm pointing to as well as tje on directly to it's 6 o'clock.






Step 4 : Set the "trunk-tire" spacer in the center of the vacant space. You can choose to glue it down, but I just left if free. I will update if it shifts too much. Then reinstall everything in the same order that you removed it.










Thanks!

If you like the sound of silence (quieter at the very least), use Roxul Safe n' Sound instead! :-)

So here's a dumb question: why bother with all this and not just take out the cardboard false floor? That way you gain a huge amount of trunk space and might actually be able to fit a dead body or two in there.

Then I guess do that. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to keep the floor.

I took out the black parts and then laid the board down.. a lot more room I tell yeah.

FYI, this may actually be dangerous to do.
As I understand the spare works with the car frame in the event of rear end collision as a structural support to help slow the car crashing into you.

Just figured I would post this here.

I don't see anyway that is possible.

In any case, I have since removed everything and filled the area where the spare was with foam and laid down the board an carpet on top of it. Gained about 5" in height..

I never consider collisions when I do anything.
