my car came with a flimsy boot floor like that one shown on ebay. Is that the normal thing for the boot? im going to make an MDF cut out and carpet it.

What have other people done with this?

Yes, mine came with one similar to that, I say similar as it was falling apart. It now lives at the dump, I will eventually make a MDF floor for the boot.

Im in the middle of making a 12" Sub fit in the wheel well of my brothers GTR and ive made up an MDF floor. i can take a few snaks of ir quickly before we carpet and seal it up if you like as we used bracing on the bottom surface to help stop flexing when he puts things in there and to stop the flex when the sub is at full tilt. You can get the idea by looking at it, just minus the sub

I did this.. I think I just some 6mm MDF I had lying around. I basically traced the floor carpet onto it. Since the MDF isn't flexible like the carpet I took some measurements of the actual boot opening and trimmed as required. Once I got it close I just kept trying to install it and trimmed it further until I could get it in. I cut the foam piece off of the original one to help space it up and keep it level. I also used to foam tape to stop some tapping on the boot floor and keep it level when things were on top of it. I stuck the carpet to the mdf (can't remember what I used though). I left the carpet loose up the front section so that you can lift it up and access the hole/handle I cut into it to match the original one. It is a snug fit in/out of the boot with the carpet on the sides folded forward/back.

It all depends what you want though. You may want thicker MDF and or a completely flat boot floor, ie side pieces too.
