Question Who would be interested in rear cargo covers?

I got a full cargo cover in my FC and I got this crazy idea thinking others would like this too. This weekend I am going to see about making a mould and building one. Only problem I see is mounting it (rear speaker covers have a mounting location for the factory cover). I'm sure I could figure something out. Who would be interesting in a rear cargo cover?

CF would be too expensive for me and you. I'd more than likely use fiberglass and cover it in a fabric. Factory is covered in fabric to match interior. Don't know what it's made of though, maybe cardboard.

Fibreglass sanded smooth and painted matte black would be fine too. I don't care too much for carpeting--hell, my car is devoid of carpet

Mock on up, and let's see what it looks like. If the quality is there the interest will be there, and so will my order

Stock one is carboard with fabric over it. I'd be up for one as I only have one of the two I need to restore my FC's.

oh hell yes i would be. As long as it is not too expensive and is similar to OEM. I am jealous of my friends with S5's and their nice hatch covers

I would be interested depending on price. I have been thinking about one using black marine vinyl or black carpet and masonite.

Oh christ... I made this post a while back and it seemed dead and disappeared, but it looks like people are interested now! I will have to see about materials to use (i don't think i can mold cardboard ). I could make a simple flat one using cardboard, or I could go ***** out and try to copy the stock one, but again i'll have to do some trickery to really make a good duplicate. I also need to figure out how to mount it in (i'm sure it'll be damn hard to find speaker covers with the mounts in them). This week i'll take some measurments and head over to home depot and see if i can make a simple one out of cardboard.
