I'm going to relocate my battery into it and do a cover for the floor, out of sight out of mind.

I took mine out. It was pretty dented up on the bottom. It looked like it took a couple big hits which made me think it wouldn't be the best spot for the battery. I'll just mount the battery on the flat panel that's in it place.

A buddy of mine made it. He used the tire well that I removed as a template. It worked out nice. I suggested to him that it would be a nice part to offer for sale, but he wasn't interested. I really like the looks of the trunk floor being flat. That tire well hanging down bugged me, especially being all dented up...
