Hah. Thank you.

I think between the oem mirror and apr one alot.

These are just personal taste I think. Someone like it, and some other dont,

Notice any differences yet? How easy was it to apply to the trunk? I'm thinking about getting something like this for the trunk and doors.

Both my girlfriend and I think that it is a little bit quieter. But to be honest I think it is too subjective.

I will do the doors later and then I think it will be helpful. People said applying dynamat on doors helps.

The exhaust sound might not be quieter but I think it can reduce the road/tire/wind noise.

I'd only do it for the road/wind noise. I like the way my exhaust sounds haha. But the doors probably would help. What about the flooring? Maybe putting something under the foot wells and such?

These are made to reduce road/wind noise I think. Not for exhaust.
I think it will help.

Ivan "Jive Turkey" did that on his doors and he said it sounds much better. You can check he post in the thread.

Great photo journal! Love how meticulous you are about cleaning and storing those beautiful wheels. I would totally do the same if I had a workspace like that.

Your winter wheels don't look bad either! How about some photos of them on the car before it snows?

Thank you!

You should see how I take care of the paint, hah.

I think I had some picture in the thread that I took last year. They fit will, Almost as good as summer wheels because they have small offset.

Got two Subaru factory exhaust gaskets.

Hope these will fix my exhaust leak.

I have already cover the trunk about 2 months ago.

Might cover the center console later.

Because the pipe is hot and is in contact with the hood liner.

And I have some leftover of Dynamat after covering the interior, so I put them under the hood liner.
