Default Just doesn't look finished

As I stated in an earlier post, owning my Grand Sport convertible for two weeks, every time I opened the trunk, I could not help but notice that the interior section of the trunk looked unfinished. So after fixing the paint defect, I went to Hobby Lobby, picked up several sheet of styro poster board, some red material to match my interior and a can of 3M 77 spray adhesive. Already had some construction cement. Made some templates, built up the curvatures in the uneven sections, and added a little blood sweat and tears, and a few Angry Orchards hard apple , and behold the mod. What do you think?

I have this grey one (purchased) and the glue is definitely substandard. The carpet, fit, and logo are top-knotch, however. I have beefed up the velcro fastening system, and it still cannot stand the heat, and down it comes.

3M trim adhesive would do it but if you ever wanted to remove it, what a job/mess that would be.
