Hi all,

I've nearly finished the boot build for my Prelude, and for the first time since starting to drive, I am actually going to finish the boot off by covering the MDF with some carpet!

However, I have no idea what's best to get, and where from. Ideally I'd like it similar to my existing boot trim (in the pic below), but the rest of the car's interior is black carpet and black leather, so I could probably get away with recovering everything in black.

However, being a boot that is used regularly, I want it reasonably hard-wearing, but not ridiculously expensive, I've already spent enough on rebuilding the car! ;)

Anyway, some pics of the boot:

Any advice/suggestions welcome :)
 
For my boot build I got some pretty decent stuff off ebay and glued it to the mdf with carpet glue, looks ace and It's not worn down in over a year of use.
 
Or buy some carpet tiles - dont laugh - there's a wide selection out there and they're easier to mould than a bit of actual carpet :D
