    I did not ( foolishly) take pictures. Too into getting it done. I will cover as much as your willing to cut and fit. I covered all of teh floor and trans.driveshaft hump and the floor under the back seat. Get a durable wooden wallpaper seam roller ( vs a plastic one) so you can really apply pressure to get the nooks and crannies pressed down. A good blade as well to cut the stuff. NO shears, they don't work. I would estimate that the total weight of this stuff as I installed it is about ten pounds. Not too bad really. I probably only installed about 35-40 sq feet. I have the carpet laying in place for a few days to settle ( recommended in another thread). Looks good so far and no big issues with the trans hump like others have reported in th past. Maybe the ACC folks ar edoing a better job. Did get the auto trans carpet set , so that is supposed to help. Steve

    Are you going to do the firewall and the back trunk divider wall and package deck? I need to get the fiberboard piece for mine, although I may get a couple of thin sheets of metal and close off the openings and use this stuff to cover it. I may go with the Zilla mat stuff as well. Thanks

    I have just installed Dynamat, my car is quite loud and it has made a big difference to the noise. I only put it over the floor area and it was quite easy to install.

    I just put the carpet back over the top and have had no problem with the carpet moving about.

    I was quite skeptical about using Dynamat but it does do the job.:TU:

    I did not do the firewall or the diivider behind the rear seat. I do have the trunk panel and jute to install and will do that at some point. The firewall insulation is tired, but I wasn't up to doing it right now. Some day I'll tear the dash apart and tend to that , probably redo the dash harness at that time as well. It will tie the car up , so need to find a good time or a heated storage arrangement for winter that allows work to be done when the snow is flying. I'll let everyone know how this stuff does. To be honest, it was pretty quiet before, even with the turbo mufflers and 2.5 in exhaust. Thanks. Steve
