You should be able to find it in pretty much every 3rd gen...we all have them. Most cars do the same thing as well.

Go to your local junk yard and look for a sunfire (cause it'll probably have the same trunk material...not too sure if the cavis have the same material) and snatch it up for some change.

It's very thin material and easy to take out...look:

ask a custom audio installer - if they build boxes, they SHOULD have rolls of that stuff to cover those boxes. they could probably point you in the right direction if you're hellbent on making stuff with it.

why cant u just get it out of a wrecked car??
is there a reason it has to be on a roll?
i mean unless its a huge project that has to be in one piece, just grab it form a couple cars

i wanna make a thing like the toyo cavis have on the trunk lid, but in a different way. like i just wanna make it so it sits on there and looks nice because i hate how all the wires are all over the place and the big gaps and stuff on the underside. and have it completely smooth. so i need something thats not very thick but can still bend alittle for the backing and atleast 3 ft by 3 ft of the carpet. Does that make sence?

I think Ive seen lowes having that hard cardboard stuff. And the carpeting can be found online. Easy to find just look for enclosure carpeting cause thats what is used on speakerboxes.

It's press board for the spare tire cover. Lowes and Home Depo have them Carpet I don't know off hand but I have seen it avail on a website. I think it was summit, but I might be wrong. I'll take alook and see if I can find it.
