Said goodbye and handed it over to its new owner in Toms River, NJ. I almost turned around halfway since I wasnāt selling it out of need but after 5 years, felt it was time for something new. It just seemed like the right time if there ever was one. The only gut wrenching feeling is that...
FYI I got charged $800+ for a āserviceāappointment at Porsche which was nothing more than an oil change and āchecklistā. Never went back. They can keep the Starbucks and donuts.
Project is completed and my final unscientific verdict is this was a well worth mod for about $120 and a lot of sweat equity. I ended up using about 2 boxes of Kilmat (100mil and 80 mil) and went about 80% coverage in the trunk, rear wheel wells, trunk lid, under the rear seats, rear side...
Yes I did. I was on the fence whether it was even necessary in that area but I figured it wouldnāt hurt to try it. Obviously the only downside is the vapor barrier is done if you ever have to remove the mat in the future. I also had to remove some of the factory white cotton looking pads to...
Started the doorsā¦.absolutely not fun and time consuming working around the wires and gaps. I recommend wearing long sleeves and gloves working on the inside of the panelā¦got several small cuts on my arm and hands rolling the mats down. Road test following completion of the passenger door. Very...
Did you punch holes through the Kilmat and then put the wires back under the rear window? Or were you just going around everything? Did you go full coverage?
So far VERY happy with the results covering 100% coverage of spare tire well and about 80% of rear speaker shelf, rear seats, rear seat side panels, and trunk lid. I only got to half the rear wheel arches (next to rear seat) before I ran out of Kilmat. Another 2 boxes arrived and I plan to do...
Most of the sound Iām trying to get rid of seems to be coming from the trunk and doors. I personally would not bother with the roof either. The only reason I might do it is that Iām considering installing a starlight headliner and Iāll be taking the headliner down anyway.
Did you do the door panels? I havenāt opened up the doors yet but on YouTube I watched a vid and thereās a vapor guard (plastic sheet) that looks like itās held on by some black glue or gunk. How do you get that vapor sheet back in the door? Is that black adhesive reusable? If not, whatās used...
I just did the trunk lid as well. I was a little skeptical but I feel a lot of the rattles are gone with just the three areas I hit. I am definitely going to try full coverage on the doors. I will hit the roof IF for some reason I need more.
Not hard at all. Just go slow. The hardest part is...
Decide to try sound deadening project using 100 mil Kilmat. I am not sure I have the resolve to do the entire car or even 100% coverage on every panel. I read that you will notice a difference with even about 70% coverage. As a test, Iām starting with some key areas under the rear seats, the...
Pretty happy with the results. GT350 rear valance and new front grill from customgrills.com. The front grill was not hard but cutting the front grill was a bit messy and take your time with the dremels cuts. Also you have to make sure you use a generous amount of goop but not so much it runs...
