Some day I'd love to replace most of the plastic interior panels with carbon versions, but holy hell is making composite parts time-consuming (especially ones that are complex shapes). Not to mention I don't know how you'd deal with replicating all the little tabs and crap that are molded into the plastic for sticking pieces together...

Thanks man. And.. agreed, this is taking 10x the amount of work and time compared to just meticulously cutting the fabric to fit

I am doing all this in my apartment. If I had a spouse she would kill me

Sat in traffic and watched my IATs climb. 145F at one point. It was 75F outside.

The girlfriend think my exhaust is too loud.

So I decide to do something to save the relationship.

I plan to cover the trunk and doors. These might add about 10 lb weight, not too bad.

I've been thinking of doing the same to my trunk. Are you going to do the spare wheel well or the backseats? Or both? I'd like to know how it turns out. I'm thinking of doing some MLV on the back seat area myself.

Wow, she can hear your exhaust all the way from the kitchen?

Just messing with you. Let us know how the sound deadening works out for you. I've never installed Dynamat but something I've always been interested in.

How much did that pack cost you? Links...

For him or her though?

I ran my car pretty hard for about 2-3 hours and my ears were ringing by then. I felt like I had just came back from a concert. Next time, I'm definitely wearing hearing protection. I don't want to become like one of those old coots that are like huuuh whaaaa?

I will do the trunk (under spare wheel) and doors first.
Then If I have some extra, I might just do the read seats.

Either method ends with him sleeping on the couch.

Sadly, I am putting my winter kit in the trunk now... Collapsible snowshovel, snow brush and ice scraper.

Tcoat, snow came way too soon this year.

Wow! I remember when I had my S14 with JIC coilovers, full exhaust, bald tires, etc, I used my decibel tester on my phone and it read 90 on the way to Seattle on the highway!
