OK, so where are the "after" pics? I have the same fiberglass police style bags and mine are just as ugly inside. Would love to see the after pics.

Nice idea. Came out good too. Would probably tie it all together if you did the underside for the lids too.

Nice. I did the same thing a month or so ago, but used the black carpet. Seemed to hide the seams a little better. Walmart automotive section. One roll will do it.
