Thanks for your input guys.

We have a nationwide network of stores called Halfords (hellfrauds), customers 'bend over and lube up' (as Team AI put it) when ever they shop there. Most of the young 'boy racer' kids seem to enjoy it so much they go back on a regular basis!! Not for me, sorry, I value my money thank you very much.

Check out the prices for a laugh - http://www.halfords.com

I'm buying automotive carpet from USA now.

A pound (prices on the web site listed) is equal to about 2 bucks americian.

Thanks Ryan from Ohio for the suggestion, but that site doesn't offer good value.

Example: Pioneer DEH-9600MP - http://www.blue4ice.co.uk = £437.99, http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk = £369.99... BIG difference, over $150 USD!

If you wanna see the best prices the UK has to offer on the Internet check out http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk , then you will know why I choose eBay USA

Its 3:17am now, im tired n got work at 11am, wish me luck hehe. Laters guys, keep up the good work!

Hey, another alternative is Vinyl.
You could also get a sheet of laminate in marble or granite.

I'd agree on house carpet being too stiff. However, it could be done by cutting a piece for each side, instead of trying to "wrap" it around the box.

Painting works too, rubberized undercoating, or fleckstone, or color-shifting paint... whatever you want.

ever see flooring carpet done that way? folded or cut for an edge? it looks awful because the seem is obvious. that's the big drawback to it. Hard to carpet stairs that way too, unless you use rounded edging on each step at the end of the runs.

you could get away with it I suppose, but you're better off with paint, fleckstone, vinyl, or some other means of covering the box.

The fleckstone paint looks nice when you lay down 1 or 2 coats then 3-4 coats of paint that matches your interior, then your toss on 3-4 coats of clear....

If your using cans then I reccommend Krylon paint because it rocks, for spray paint anyways...
