Side Cargo bins: expanding storage
I'm thinking about expanding the side cargo bins into compartments in the area over the wheel wells. Has anyone done something similar to this, or will I be once again setting sail in uncharted waters?

Unless you specifically were wanting stuff to be sectioned off or enclosed from the main area of the trunk/hatch, I would think it would marginally decrease the available space since you are adding material in. Interesting thought though and I'm curious as to what you come up with.

I recently joined the Magnolia VFD and am training as an EMR/ECA (one step below an EMT-B) and plan to turn my vehicle into a responder. My goal is to fit a Small fire extinguisher and maybe a water bottle on one side and a small medical bag on the other.
Yea....it happens.

The odds of me responding in my vehicle are slim for at least a few years, but I recently became a dealer for Feniex Industries and outfitting my car make it into a rolling-flashing billboard as well as having utility.

I've not seen anyone post about doing what you have planned, but could be an interesting mod. If you do it, post up the details.
