Wow, good job! Of course, makes me glad my interior was already black

 

Ah, sound insulation is soo sexy and Bling Bling. Is that Dyna Mat? (sp?)

 

Not sure what it's called... but it's on the same Isle as house insulation at Lowes $25 for 25 feet... it takes 25 feet if you do it right.

 

The finished product looks good.

 

did you keep the foam on the bottom of the carpet?

 

No for 2 reasons... 1. you will destroy it if you try to remove it from the factory carpet and 2. the insulation I used is much better for reducing road noise and heat. I simply took a utility knife to the carpet, and removed it in sections, then I hand picked all of the cotton fibers left over off the metal (not all of it just the loose stuff). after i removed all the carpet, I threw it away... save the plastic carpet clips from either door sill because you can re-use these on your new carpet.

 

Ok looks really good.

But how did you compensate the height difference in the flloring with the foam gone.

See I have a square hole cut in my foam where i keep my PMC purple. With no foam it would be sticking up in the floor.

Know what i mean?



Also how did you address **** like the interior light control plastic, sunroof eding material, seat belts..





Could you tell me what kind of carpet you use and where to buy it if it is a specialty carpet?



If it's just your pick at carpet country then I can handle it.

 

Oh and the headliner, what did you do with that?

 

I used 3 layers of insulation in parts that needed to be built up. As for the plastic, I removed all of it and used the vinyl dye to change the color, same with door panels and such (remember to sand with 400 wet or dry) ... as for the headliner I just taped off all the windows and stuff, and sprayed it... (a mask is a good investment). Seat belts i cut and let flip back into their holes, I'm using a 4 point racing harness and black corbeau a4 seats.



I'm very pleased with the results, you can't tell the interior was not originally black.

 

The carpet I got from http://www.resonation.us Foss/Ozite Multipile is the type
