Hmmmmm.

Details - details - details - hook me up !.

I was content with the underside of the hood on my MM - but I've been wanting to do something w/the bare underside of the trunk.

I've browsed pics on Ebay of 98+ CV's & GM's to see if any ever came with anything on the underside of the trunk lid - but it doesn't appear that they did from what I've seen.

My Town Car has SPOILED me.

You can crank up the JBL in there - get out - close the door(all windows closed) & barely hear the music - even standing alongside the trunk. This is not the case with the MM. I was thinking the underside trunk lid carpeting in the TC might help contribute to keeping the sound more muffled outside the car.

Least the MM is now worth CRANKING up the tunes - unlike the day you bring one home.

I went with (4) new Infinity 6802's & yanked the infamous foam out of the sub. Got the same type of speaker in the back of my Toronado(6x9 tho) as well. Gotta love those pivoting tweeters :up:. I'd like to go back in there one day tho - & use some XTC speaker baffles - that might help keep more sound IN the car - rather than out as well.

Details - details - details - hook me up !.

EricDetails coming soon....but briefly...it was custom made by Car Motorsports www.carmotorsports.com (http://www.carmotorsports.com/) who will be in contact with Logan wanting to become a sponsor here.

What you see above in the first couple of pics is the underhood liner. This is a special heat/moisture/stain resistant lining that is custom cut to fit/wrap around right over your OEM hoodliner. The logo is stiched with unbelievable quality as you can tell from the pic with the detail on the godhead. The design that will be made available to the membership will be a much larger godhead, centered above the MARAUDER. It will still utlize the factory holes BUT Car Motorsports can supply upgraded push clips which look MUCH nicer and are more secure than the OEMs. You can also see a pic of the cover you get in the form of extra, heat resistant material that you may use while driving to protect the monogramed logo. It's just VELCRO'd on...you pull up to the cruise night, pop the hood...and unveil your MARAUDER logo!

The other 2 pics are of the custom trunklid liner that was made using a special "Weatherboard" which is VERY strong, yet light which is custom cut for maximum coverage of the Marauder trunk lid without any interferance to the opening/closing of the trunk. This is then wrapped in the same special material as the hoodliner. The whole unit is stategically held in place by some AMAZING, industrial-strength VELCRO.....so there are NO HOLES to drill.

I'll have more info soon and pics of the other design.

Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words, here are 59,000 words: Click Here for Pictorial on Hood and Trunk Liner Installation (http://www.legalknevil.com/gallery/Trunk-and-Hood-Liner-Installation)

This photo spread will show you guys what was involved in laying out the trunk liner. The fellow who did this work has saved the patterns that he made for my car so he can do the liners for you guys (right after he does my friend Todd's that is).

Hope you guys enjoy what we have done here.

Feel free to contact Rich...send him the appropriate digital files which then need to go through an expensive digital process at the embroiders....pay the fee for the "one-off" design, and he'll get you whatever design you want. But this one ^^^ is not available to anyone else per our agreement with Rich.

Rich does great work. :up:

we'd have to stretch our imaginations to come up with a significantly different design.

hmmm,... regional club logos might be cool.

too bad we have know way to tell the production order. i.e. 150 of 7839. that would be sweet!

Tom:

It doesn't have to be significantly different. It just can't look like mine.!! :P

So, what we had in mind was the God's head enlarged and the word "Marauder" underneath. This way Rich has the graphic elements anyway and it saves everyone the dough on having to get new artwork digitized. For my car Todd started with the digital images that he made way back when we did the dash, center console and floor mats and then we had that digitized for this phase (the hood and trunk liners) of the project.

By the way, Todd's car has gotten the leather door and dash treatment too. He had the airbag embroidered with the logo I am suggesting above and it looks sweet!

TAF/Marty: Just got home from church on the ship, and you gents did it to me again! How about a blue one with white stripes, after I get that mounting bracket solved on the alternative? Why don't I send y'all my Visa Card #, and just start drop shipping me stuff like QA 1s and Hood Liners and Leather Roll Bars ? And who knows what y'all will do to me next!! Since I didn't get a trophy at the show yesterday, it's obviously because I don't have enough mods, ha-ha, need more nice touches! -kjs-

This is what we are doing that will be available to everyone else. Any other designs (if for any reason you don't like this one) will need to start from scratch on the digitized development.

You should see the stuff they can do...the liners are a small portion...custom floormats, spare-tire covers, car covers...and on and on and on.....ALL can be embroidered by, what I must say, is the most AMAZING quality of custom stitching that I've ever seen!

Stay Tuned!

just curious. How well do you think it'll hold up with the temps under the hood and can you clean it if it gets dirty?

The fabric is impervious to heat, moisture and stretches. You can also see that the underhood will come with a "flap" of the material which is VELCRO'd to cover the logo and keep the threads/embroidery clean.

Me too! You have my attention. I'm sorry, but I've always thought it was BS that a $30K+ car comes with a bare metal underside to the trunk lid. Talk about cheaping out!

Hopefully this outfit will become a MM.net sponsor and we can check out some of their other stuff. I have my original MM floormats put away in favor of the Mercury all weather ones The Dealer has, but wouldn't mind seeing that they have both in that dept. and for the spare tire cover, etc.

Thanks for showing us this, and hopefully we'll hear about how to get our own soon!

Regards,

Norm

I am pleased to see a successful mod to the engine liner that looks really cool.
