Don.....

I am not far from you to the north. Whenever you get finished, you're more than welcome to come help do mine as well!

I wouldn't want to deny you the satisfaction of doing it yourself. It wasn't too hard and I found quite fun actually. The local audio shop quoted me $1350 parts and labor. Let's see...I spent $275 for brown bread (including shipping...but still have .5 of rear door to purchase). Estimated time to do the job is 40 hours, so how much per hour did I 'earn' ? Answer: $1075/40 equals $22 per hour

I was thinking of adding some kind of sound deading material just because I have a pv2/supercharger and the back seat is removed and it gets pretty loud. I noticed when I have the back loaded with snowboard gear the sound is considerably less so I think the mat would be great to reduce sound.

Did you notice a big difference with road noise?

[dkmiller68]

Definitly...road noise is greatly reduced. I have even removed my side window deflectors because they also added to road noise. The theory is that vibrating metal causes the noise, much as a speaker pushes air, and the dynamat absorbs the energy and reduces vibration.

I can help you get started but we wouldn't be able to do it all in 1 day.

Takes about 15 hours. Worth the time and $$.
