    It comes that way in sheets, I've used up most of what I had in inventory.
    I'll post a link to where to get it later.

    Jack, here's a link to the company where I get the c-f sheets from...
    They come pre finished with a clear resin coat, the peel & stick 3M backing is an additional $4.00 per.
    Click on "rigid carbon fiber panels" on the home page, & you'll find quite a selection of colors, sizes, thicknesses, etc.
    Not cheap, but good quality stuff...

    when i was thinking of doing mine i was gonna use the spare tire mount to secure it.. basically build the box to fit without loading it, then put it into place, use the 3 bolts that hold the spare tire mount in place to bolt it to the door, then load the sub(s) in after its secured.. if you wanted to remove it, you would have to remove your subs, but theres not much reason that you would need to remove it anyway

    only other thing i could think of is to make L shaped mounting tabs that came out over the screw holes for the interior tailgate panel, but you would probably want to find something sturdier than the factory plastic screws to hold it in place.. iirc somebody made some replacements out of aluminum didnt they? that could work
