hehe..

i already got flamed for it a bunch of times. i was experimenting on painting my clear rears and came up with that design. seems like its a 25/75 split 75% don't like it. but some say its nice cuz its different. i am going to change the design on my lights when i have the time, but its sh*t out and my classes are gearing into full swing. my whole car is getting re done this summer, my kit is painted in chromalusion paint right now (bought used) but i am getting it repainted in white to match the body during the summer. after making many mistakes and experimenting i came up with good instructions for painting the clear tails on my homepage for anyone interested.

great job. Just wondering, what kind of material did you use - dynamat? What did you use on the doors?

How slow is your car now???

With all of that dynamat it had to slow it down, how much weight did it add? I took my subs out yesterday and I could feel a big difference.

damn i can feel your car getting heavier...the car is prob very quiet..but you sacrifice the weight of it. i guess it's what you're looking for in your car.

Hey - REALLY nice pics. I love how your car looks with the 5th gen wheels. I have a couple questions for you:

- Did you take any noise readings before and after the Dynamat installation? I'm curious how well it works, especially since you did such a complete job.

- How much of the Dynamatt did you ultimately use?

Nice work!

yea it made the car a bit quieter, not as much as i had hoped though...i used about 12 rolls of hi-temp mastic so far (same as dynamat original) purchased the rolls for $13 per 12 sq. ft. roll...i still have 5 more rolls sitting in my closet waiting to be put in my car...car is a lot heavier now with the mats and the sub box, so i really feel the need for y-pipe and intake...those will be my next go-mods..unfortunately i didnt take any noise readings but i would guess the car is 4-6 db quieter..rattles will be unheard of by the time im finished. the 1/0ga. wire was pretty easy to run as i already had a predrilled hole from my 4ga. installation..the only thing, is my carpet bulges a little bit in certain places..feel free to ask anymore questions
