Looks good. Do you have any more pictures or info?

Took a general measurement. 32 side to side x 22 in the center front to back apx 20 on the sides frt to back overall. Card board template to fit. Then fit some thin cabinet veneer from the template. Used some thin metal to created the bend of the two pieces. Ordered some of the trunk liner material, black, maybe grey would have been the better match. Spray adhesive the material to the veneer. I remover the back seat and lifted the package tray and used a few screws to attach to the front lip of pack tray metal structure behind the seat back. I used velcro and tucked the back part under the trunk seal. Then just tucked the side in the existing trunk trim. I also added some pillow stuffing, not sure if it will help speaker operation or not. I'm old and deaf, lol. That wasn't the important part for me.

We screwed up yesterday trying to replace the rear rotors and brake pads. We couldn't compress the caliper enough to make the new brake pads fit. I was using this tool to compress but it wouldn't go in and also there was fluid leaking from piston seals. Any ideas on how to fix it or do i need a new caliper?

You have to "screw in" the piston. you must twist the piston in at the same time compress on the piston so that it will compress.

Looks as if X-Force Varex gets the award for nice-looking stuff you can't see without crawling.[/QUOTE]

Didn't like the unfinished look under the package tray in the trunk. So I fixed it.

Very nice work. That's one of the places you could go without seeing for the life of the car. I use a couple of those ovalish holes as anchors for a bungee cord. A partially-dismantled Carabiner Hook makes for a handy hanging stabilizer for those horrible one-use plastic shopping bags the stores and restaurants force on you in their attempts to destroy the world.

Washed and waxed. First time in a long time we’re gonna get a few days with no rain!

Wandered local, mostly residential, streets on the way to a pharmacy. Dozens—I mean DOZENS —of people out for a walk ((out for walks?), most of whom quite clearly needed the calorie-burning activity. Happened my trajectory took me near a Ford Stealership. Since I'm faux-shopping for the right convertible, I stopped in to look at a choice example; that led to evaluation of my yellow Yellow YELLOW car by a professional discourager, aka "appraiser". He ignored all the good stuff, over-valued the bad stuff (none!), and came in like $5,000 less than I think is realistic.

In sum, that means if I want that superb convertible, it would take my car and as much more as I paid for my car, or in that neighborhood. So when I Shook My Head and left. the yellow Yellow YELLOW car seemed truly wonderful, and I told it so.

I registered and updated my COBB AP on their website last night and today (3/26/2020) I changed the tune on my car to stage 2 93 ots. I just kept the gear selector on D the whole test drive and the car pulls really hard all the way; chirps the tires easily from a standstill and the peak boost is now at 24.XX psi before going down a little bit.

All parameters of the car was normal throughout the 45-50 minute test drive (~30 miles total), IAT (Inlet Air Temperature) was no more than 5F over the outside temperature, coolant temp at around 185-195F. The car ran very smooth and the transmission shifts were pleasant and precise.

My current mods now are (3/26/2020):

1) CVF Intercooler

2) K&N drop in filter

3) COBB stage 2 93 octane

I always smile every time I see a pic that was taken at a gas station; thought I was the only one visiting the gas station a lot.

Check out this youtube video from LMR at around 5:00. I used this tool and it worked great
