Progress - Thanks Guys

Hey guys, just thought I'd open a thread to keep up with my progress. I got the front seats , center console, and plastic kickpanels out last night, along with the pain the a$$ dash panel with the climate controls (my fingers hurt). I'll be finishing today, and will take pictures if I can get a digital camera (or develop with photocd). Thanks again for all your help.

Other question: Do I need to heat the fatmat once its down?

Mmmmmm. My car is like a coffin now. Nice and quiet, expect for the music, its nice and LOUD. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] but still clear. I cant wait for my 12W7 to come back from JL so I can boom boom again. The XRs are nice, and can handle bass, but its just not the same. Still have to put the front seats in, but i thought I'd take a break. I'll take pics if I can get a camera, but everythings mostly hidden, so it wouldnt matter. Gotta hear. Thanks for your help!

Doubled up on the floors. I'm gonna take it out here in a couple hours. I'll post my findings.

pleaz do tell about the floors. i got my 100 feet of fatmat 2 days ago and am waiting till it gets a little warmer to put it in (20 freakin degrees is not gonna cut it ). i'm gonna double the doors, maybe triple, and was thinking about doing the floor too since the new carpet should come anyday now. i wonder if i should do the trunk too, i have plenty of bass w/out much rattle, should i bother doing anything besides the license plate?

These are the parts that I did with FatMat:
-Doors (outer and inner panels)
-Floor (doubled up)
-Trunk
-Trunk lit (doubled up)
-License plate
-Plate under rear seat
-Back deck
Its like driving a coffin. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Its nice. I used probably 90 sq. ft. I think I have one little rattle on the back deck I need to iron out, but I'll wait till my sub comes back to find any others. Its amazing. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
