    Awesome idea.....

    I have been thinking about doing something similar to the head liner or if all fails just painting it black with red stripes. You would have to build a box over the computer under the passenger seat or relocate it.

    Isn't the computer under something already?

    Yeah under carpet.....Find the fold under your passenger seat of the carpet and you should be able to find it easily.

    bart i have been thinking about this too... someone had photos of their sound deadening install ( i think it was kenny maybe) but the interior looked nice with the sound deadening fabric stretched over the deadening material... my reason i havent considered it more seriously is the wiring.. there is a decent amount of wiring that runs to the tail lights behind the panels.. and in my case to the speakers, auxiliary outlet, trailer lights, 4th and 5th brake lights, cb antenna.. led lighting... etc.. and either those wires would have to be exposed or covered in the process.. and u would not be able to get to them after that.. but i do HATE how much room we lose to those panels

    That's not MadMax that’s Space station. Looks like sumthing out of the movie Sunshine.

    I recall previous to Dynamatting, I gutted my VX down and drove it for about 2 weeks before actually getting around to even STARTING laying the mat. Driving was painful! Road noise was excruciating and I even stopped driving highway and took back roads to work until I finished it and trimmed it back together.

    Now that I think about it, that was with mt street Yokos on too.... with the Nittos on now, I can only imagine what sort of upset stomach it would give me, hehe (of course, with about 80lbs of Dynamatting in there now, it would be a different story).
