Trunk mods??

Was going to enter a car show this weekend and one of the 5 areas of judging is the trunk interior. Has anybody heard of this and what have they/you done to compete in this area.
The other areas of competition are, wheels, paint, interior and engine, all of which I understand.
post some pix please.

Go find a stuffed animal monkey and tell them its your trunk monkey!

Or just have a spotless trunk, or mustang memorabilia displayed, mod sheets, etc.

I'd at least add a CDC Detail Corrall or a Grand Design Mat trunk lid mat. A trunk mat would also be a good idea. Beyond that, it would start getting really expensive -- Amps, subs, LCD monitors.

Yes,
at most car shows ,you can be disqualified if your trunk lid is not up. If nothing else just make sure the trunk area is clean,once the judge comes around and judges the car ,then if you want, you can close the trunk lid,but not till it is judged.lol
I would post pics of my trunk area,but the car is still in Gainsville,Ga @ T3 Audio having custom work done to it.

+1 on that mod Mark. Good post! Got a few pictures of my trunk lid mat below. LOVE IT!! Everyone who see's it comes up to see it up close. The one picture doesn't show it well, but the other does. Its mirrored plexiglass. Phil from GDM did a killer job on it!!!

I got the same thing plus a rubberize mat with a running pony for the floor. I display a First aid kit, a AAA Road kit in a bag, a set of sockets still in a tray, a set of wrenchs in a holder (both about 20 bucks from Harbor Freight tools), a multi screwdriver, a flashlight, a pair of Ford Racing Mechanics gloves, a Simpson Racing Helmet ( brought on ebay for about 20 bucks- its outdated for track use) and a Fire Extingusher. I've placed 10 times out of 11 in car shows.

Trunk looks good, but please tell me you're not serious about blue flames on your rear bumper cover...

The blue flames are like window clings. They come off and on like reuseable decals. Small shows I leave them on, for bigger shows I remove them. But to tell you the truth all I have got are postive comments at any show they were on.
