Originally... my wira came with a stock OEM fibre board as the rear boot floor board which was just enough to cover de spare tyre compartment... Due to excessive weight on top of it... it went out of shape n have poor support... So at last i DIYed this floor board after looking at some after market floor boards from audio shops which cost RM180 per piece.... wow!! And the carpet material was not my type... so this is my very own custom made rear boot floor board...
Bought 3/8
Bought 3/8" plywood from hardware shop (4ft x 8ft) RM35 + RM5 transportation
