Do you just lay the material over it? How about the vents on each side of the trunk and in through the rear deck? The idea is to seal everything up right? Especially when you're putting in a free-air sub? Thanks guys. 98' Black SVT Build #1915 of 6535

And on top of the rear deck, you covered those vents too? Isn't there a reason those vents are there? Any negative effects to covering all the vents to seal the trunk? Any input is appreciated, thanks. OH, and what are those black push buttons on the bottom of the trunk for? 98' Black SVT Build #1915 of 6535

It is to release pressure.. but not just for when you close your trunk, its for when your close your doors as well. But most importantly its for air to escape when you turn on your heat and a/c.. I wouldn't seal it up. Otherwise your going to be trapped in your own farts unless you open a window.. 2000 SVT Black/Tan #1633/2150 (a few mods) Alpine: CDA-9835, MRV-F540, MRD-M550 PG: TANTRUM-X 6.5 COMP all around.

In all seriousness, so don't seal up the vents from the rear deck into the trunk either? And what about those black little button things under the trunk carpet? are those in any way important? The best way I can explain them is it's like a black circle that looks like it would pump air in to something when you push the button down. 98' Black SVT Build #1915 of 6535
