It's a bit sunny today so I cleared out the garage, warmed up the old beater and took it out. It's actually amazing, there's a black splotch on the windshield where I can see clearly now instead of a blanket of grey reflection!!!! 10000/10 do it!!!!

Sound deadening and back seat delete review-

The car feels so much more solid over bumps and in general. Solid meaning it's just...quieter. I don't hear grains of sand washing the wheel wells, I don't hear tire noise as much. The exhaust drone isn't much quieter but it's far less resonant- I don't have a way of explaining other than you HEAR it but don't FEEL it. So so happy

I would LOVE to have the back seat delete but the price people want for that is just way too much. I have my car set up for track/Time Attack/autocross and I have a roll bar so the back seats are just there to cover the noise.

Yeah it was a hard pill to swallow but I really wanted it :'( the bad thing about it is that my tuner used to sit in the back seat since my passenger seat is out. Now he's got nothing unless I put the passenger seat back in.

I made my own out of a cargo net, steel U bracket, and signboard. Had to go back to stock for AX classing, plus it was real loud.
