Looks GREAT! I hope you used spray on adhesive and NOT rubber cement. The secret to the spray on is to coat both surfaces and let is dry according to the directions on the can, THEN stick it.
i used spray adhesive, sprayed the box then the carpet, let both sides get tacky then stuck it together, originally was using a rolling pin, but that wouldnt get down to the bottom corners, so i started using a can of Beefaroni... that worked beautifully.. AND i got to eat it when i was done (the beefaroni.. not the sub box)
looks great
tone: i duno how u do it....but everytime i use the spray stuff it crystalizes after a year or 2. then it falls off, or bubbles.
Gotta use the RIGHT spray adhesive - either 3M Spray 90 or Permatex Body Shop HD Adhesive #27828 are what we use at the shop. Spray 77 will not handle the heat inside the car. I would not have thought rubber cement would do it.
And actually, when doing a box, glue is typically not needed if stretched and stapled correctly but whatever you did looks great.
