Wanted to have a basic toolkit in the car, but the only place logical was with the spare. Did that before on my 2009 Mustang and I can't handle the rattling again.

So I took a page from Saleen. Basically I cut a board to shape, wrapped it with some black fabric that looks like carpeting and then bolted the toolbox to it. Then bolted the board to the trunk lid. I re-used the existing "pushpin" holes for the bolts.

It added about 3-4 lbs to the trunk lid, and the gas shocks have no problems holding it up.

Might be the difference between driving home or towed

Very cool! Very European as well! I was stationed overseas and a lot of the cars there have a handy tool kit built into them that will also display a warning triangle with the trunk lid up. Nice job and well done!
