Took me about 20 minutes. Most of it was spent trying to find a way to get into the footwell the the right angle to do the work.

Got bored and removed the interior

Finally finishing the sound matting project I started about a year ago. Back half is complete, working on front half today. Will post a thread with pictures and details once complete

@GotBRZ1691. How much does all that matting weight?

Unrelated. I know I've asked this before but I can't find the post. But what did any of you use to attach you're sti style front lip to the bumper? I'm going with double sided tape plus some sort of rivet that I haven't decided on yet.

That's funny. We just got back from vacation in Montreal/Qubec and I couldn't wait to get back in the driver's seat, and home too. We were only gone 1 week.

the products i have used thus far come in rolls that are 6" x 25' and weigh only 5lbs a roll. Used two in the back, will use two in the front, so 20lbs total. At least the added weight is down real low.

Drilled holes and used the supplied screws all around the entire front perimeter. I didn't use any tape.

I had a nightmare!!!

I traded in the BRZ for an FR-S. I turned around to say good bye to brz and the dealer already put stickers and glue'd on an wing(wrong way). I then saw an indian guy who wants to buy it in the driver seat with the dealer inside!

Had a friend do this to his as well and he told me that the best place to do it is underneath the headliner, said it made the most difference in his. Also that doing it all is very worthwhile.

Mine are self tapping black screws, the ones that have a matte finish. Drill the holes so they are a decent amount smaller than the screw.

where did you get them? are they like those button things that hold door panels on? I tried Home Depot but when you tell them "self tapping" they take that is "will drill into metal".
