Title: FC Boot lid?
Post by: Kamatari on September 05, 2011, 02:15:00 PM
Did FC\'s come with a boot lid/cover or is it just a open boot?

Has anyone gone about making a cover or what do people do?

stock FC has a parcel shelf yes, but mine is f00ked. Not sure what you\'d do to make another one? Could try and find someone breaking one?

My turbo II has a parcel shelf, but Lacey\'s EGI has a wierd roll up cover

Could always just make it into a pickup :D

Behold, me rollover cover thingymabob! I believe the material roller ones are called something like a "privacy cover" or something to that effect

Interesting! I want a parcel shelf/privacy cover for mine as when i start using my fc properly it\'d be nice to have the boot covered up!

Now to try and find one.... Is the privacy cover a standard thing or something made?

Hahaha, when I read Laceys post I read \'bend me over\' for some reason instead of \'behold my roll over\' easy mistake to make!
Back on subject and the bend me over cover looks cool! Why do you get one and I get a crappy broken normal parcel shelf? You do manage to get your mits on some cool things Lacey! Kam your best bet is to find someone breaking an FC, or go on DW and see any of the lads with stripped FC\'s have one spare I recon mate.

Mine\'s bolted onto the top of the rear seats and since it\'s branded with RX-7 I assume it was a factory option?

think you will be lucky to find a good one

most seemed to have "sagged" in the middle

im sure i have one in the garage - but its suffered the same fate

and as far as the roller cover thing - arent they standard on the FB ?

Think they were an EGI thing, saw somebody selling the rear seats a little while back from an EGI and I believe it had the rollerblind style cover on it? Could be wrong though, usually am!

A looooong while ago someone was selling a carbon one on here - looked ok and I suppose you could always do a FRP one and give it a covering to look stockish.

I quite like this!
I reinforced mine with a few bits of wood underneath painted black then recovered the top to hide the screws as it holds my 6x9s which are heavy for 6x9s

That was Soldave. Not sure if he was gonna keep it in the end as he didn\'t get much interest in it iirc.
