i like the idea especially if you're carring large pets back there. 
the only down side in making the grains to go forward/aft is that it will not crumple during a rear-end crash as easily. you probably want the grains going sideways and make break-away slits so that it will crumple and not push the rear passengers into the back of the front seats.
looks like a fun project though.

no offense man, but my biggest pet peeve right now is vw style in a honda. i HATE IT! it angers me. hella flush is not hella cool, rubbin and dubbin is not good for your car and overzealous style is not the way to go. i hate the idea. adding weight. grrrr. but like i said, no offense plz.

Ok so first off - sorry, but no finished pics today. It has been raining today and I just haven't had the chance. I should have some pictures up tomorrow morning.
Second - the question about why didn't I use the OEM spare tire cover as a template is easily answered: The spare tire cover is square and I wanted a form fitting floor.
Third - thanks for all the comments everybody and also thanks for keeping the hating to a minimum.
P.S. Chris, I spent like thirty minutes looking at the gallery with all of your truck pictures in it. Your F150 is something else. Very nice.

Hmmmmmm. I can't say I'll do this to my Aibo (loose objects slip around my cargo area badly enough as it is), but I have major respect for fellow DIYers with detailed photos and procedures. Kudos and +rep
A quick question: Is your wood flooring permanently bonded/glued to the spare tire cover? Or can you remove it separately?
Mad tight DIY yo!

im liking it. are you going to completely redo the interior? I think it would look great if you lighten it up, and make it look like the interior of a traditional paper japanese house.
