I'm guessing the type of wood they used way far better than the plywood I used, what should I use or does it really make a difference? Something that looks kinda nice would be great so I don't have to put carpet on it, I have been thinking getting it sprayed with rhino liner might look cool. Any Suggestions would be great. |

That would look pretty good and sound good but it costs $40+ for a 4' x 8' sheet. If you are going to use truck liner then just get a sheet of 3/4" mdf. www.MDCustomz.com |
