Its not that it wouldnt look "good" its just there is such a huge margin for it to be botched. And its more than just the wood, its how it flows, how it looks, the angles, the color scheme of the car, there are so many factors that are making an epic fail all that much more likely.

Ok, but what if I began making other things in the car with laminate

AGT 09-16-2009 02:20 PM

Go crazy!

I vote no.

rida, your a young enthusiastic kid, and its great... but some ideas... should just be left inside the skull...

REAL wood dash kit :lol: ;)
But I think hardwood in the trunk will look kinda cool.

FrankTheTank 09-16-2009 02:49 PM

guy did some laminate flooring in an s10...looks like shit.



rida125 09-16-2009 02:56 PM

But why exactly do you think it looks bad?

rocker_boy55 09-16-2009 03:01 PM

as sweet as it would be to see...dont do it

AGT 09-16-2009 03:01 PM

Well in the case of the S-10. Nothing else coordinates with it. Also the laminate needs fasteners as you can tell compared to a house install where the glue or tongue and groove holds it.

it will get the same responses as a beat up honda with a whale tale on the back, "huh? why?"

rida125 09-16-2009 03:06 PM

So some of you don like it because it's to different for you?

I just came up with it, I can't believe somebody didn't think of it first. I need to trademark it.

I like the idea but in the S10 its crap for previously specified reasons and also it doesn't make a nice flat floor. You have a valley so there is gonna be a mix of carpet and wood. I know its okay in a house but this is a car. You might consider diamond plate before this

rida125 09-16-2009 03:16 PM

But I think the trunk would be an easier place to do it, and it would make it easier to keep clean.

AGT 09-16-2009 03:19 PM

Yeah but easier to scratch too.

I would think the trunk alone would be fine but only that. The floor would still need mats because the earth is dirty

FrankTheTank 09-16-2009 03:31 PM

why did u ask for opinions if you already have your mind made up?

lonnie 09-16-2009 03:44 PM

My opinion: Bad idea, will not look right no matter how its done!!!

the problem with only doing the trunk is now it's not going to flow with the rest of the car, and it will look tacky when the lid is open or the back seat is down

rida125 09-16-2009 04:23 PM

But if the trunk did look really good i could go from there to trying to do that with the rest of the car.
