Cargo Cover - What is it worth?
 
I have a cargo cover, it's not perfect, but with a little tlc it would be very nice. I also have the speaker covers (hinges), and two support pieces (one with the light, and the other one).

I'm interested in what it is worth.

I was also wondering if it would be worth taking and getting a mold made out of it (vacuum molding), so that fiberglass or carbon one's could be replicated.

Here are some pictures of the cover.

It's rare, but it's going to sell for what people are willing to buy it for.

Honestly if you did this, I'd be interested in it.

I would love to have one as well. they usually go for like 100 when you see them....

Anyone ever made anything out of synthetics and epoxy resins? I watched some videos and it really doesn't seem all that difficult. If you needed/wanted to use one, a vacuum pump (for bagging) would be about your biggest expense, next to the carbon fiber material.

There is also the risk of destroying the cover attempting to make the mold (I think you would have to remove the carpet to get a smooth surface). That is why I wonder what it's worth.

I really like it, and the only reason that I'm not using it is that my subwoofer box will not fit under it.

Mine is about like that one, maybe a bit worse. I have yet to put it in because the sides bow out a bit making it not fit well. I'd be curious to see what you do to fix it. I'm almost tempted to recover it as the fabric doesn't seem to match very well.
