I think you should use Scotch tape for a stealth look....

you should finish tapeing up the box and start coating the carboard in epoxy that would work lol.. maybe 5 coats of epoxy would work great!!!

too late i already instailed it just a few more panles and the hole car is back to gether. Its so clean and sounds even better thanks to some elmers glue and aluminam foil i used instead of dynamat. you can see some of it around the ring placing it there greatly reduces vibrations plus it looks pimp! holla at me if you want a box too, i can make you one for about $5 bucks shipped! i need a website http://www.daghettobox.com/

just in case you guys was wondering what my car looked like.

thats a proto-type roof scoop with jdm shorty antena ontop. i was thinking hood scoop but then i was like na ROOF SCOOP! the rims are 17in ( i wanted to keep them lite for racing) carbon foil Z edition volks with maching z badges. i did my calipers to match too. the grill is j-tec carbon foil with the matching wiper blades. and im working on making a carbon board front and rear spoiler any opinions on what else i should do next?

DANG that's fly.... that aluminum is light weight stuff and will improve your time at the track. and that box is incredible. You're baller to even be using cardboard for the prototype...i mean, that's some high quality **** (H2o). How about a cardboard-fiber body kit? I admit, it doesn't hold up well on a rainy day but for looks and hot chicks, i'd do it. Anyway, I was actually thinking about doing the same thing with the space behind the driver and having a box in there but you made it a reality. GOod stuff man, i give you props. If you make extra boxes, sell them on ebay. Make some $$$ to pay for a new.... aluminum foil.. uhhh....turbocharger
