Well, here is an update to what has turned into my multi weekend project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . The Dynamat is in. It ended up taking two wedge packs to cover the area behind each seat. I'm already in for $100 in Dynamat, so I decided not to do the center area.

A tip for anyone planning on doing this. It is recommended to leave the Dynamat in the sun for 15 minutes before you apply it to make it easier to work with. Since we didn't have any sun today, I used a hair dryer. I heated up a little section at a time and used the wooden roller to press it on.

Now back into the garage to put the driver's side seat and harness in, and the passenger side seat belt.

Has anyone heard from Morph lately? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) We e-mailed once a couple of weeks ago about the price of a firewall carpet kit, and I've sent two e-mails and a PM over the past couple of weeks with no response.

Thats a lot of work John.

Use the 3M stuff when you get to cleaning up the other side of the firewall.

I've replaced a lot of door seals, and the 3M stuff is magic.

Sooooo, does anyone know how to get the seat belt reel to unlock? I can't put it back on until I get some slack pulled out of the reel, but it is locked up and not letting me pull.

I think you need to hold it at the neutral posission and attempt. It has a lock out pengulium that sets into place when the brakes are applied!

You might as well do the center area or you havent really done that much good by just doing the sides behind the seats. You really need to cover as much area as possible. You will still have noise infiltration in the center unless covered.
Next time I would recommend using Phat Mat. One normal size roll would be enough to cover all of the back area with more left over.

Do you really have to get all that factory glue off the rear wall in order to apply the sound deadening pad? Seems like cleaning it real well with mineral spirits would at least get the oil off and make it clean enough for a good bond.


But what do I know.

I would do the whole thing. I did mine and I am happy with it. You can also use perlon as opposed to carpeting on the back wall. That is what I did and I think it turned out ok.

I did have a strip of carpeting stitched up for the bottom 6" of the firewall(the part that isn't covered in the pic. Good luck!

IT'S DONE!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I decided to go all out and change the interior color while I was at it. I had the rear firewall done in a charcoal color, and replaced the tan carpet with a charcoal color as well. I also used Dupli Color vinyl paint to paint my door panels black to match everything which some of you might have seen in my other thread.

A HUGE thank you to McMark for hooking me up and helping me out on this project - I really appreciate it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Now all I need is some sunny weather to take her out and show her off! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

I like them because their look goes well with the car in my opinion. They have good support and are pretty comfortable except for an oddly placed support bar which you can feel in your upper back. The only other thing is that with the harness going over the lateral support, it doesn't fit as snugly on my lap and tends to ride up a little bit around my stomach. Maybe it's just how I'm built?

I REALLY went back and forth on that one between using the mounting bars that I bought from Corbeau and just mounting the brackets directly to the seats. I ended up mounting the brackets directly to the seats by drilling new holes in them and then using the bolts from the kit.

John,

I hear tell that the Classic II's sit you about 2" higher in the car than the stock seats resulting in interference with the steering wheel. What's your opinion?
