Soundproofing Mod
Just finished installing soundproofing mod. Kit came from exottic vettes and was a joy to install. Precut and helped with sound level and cut down on tunnel heat.
I recommend it.
Pictures are in My Gallery of before , during & after.

I just completed the rear kit install in my coupe two days ago, and I also recommend it. Upon completion, I found that the center cover latches would no longer "catch." It turns out that the latch consists of 3 pieces which can be disassembled by hand. I just added a washer on the underside of the threaded shaft (to compensate for the added thickness of the insulation) and all is fine now.

How are your results with just the rear? I only want to tone down my exhaust at hwy speeds just a bit. Thanks for the tip on the hatch covers.

Sounds like a Mod that a lot of people are doing now. I've only had mine since December so I don't really know about tunnel heat right now. Was the tire noise cut down quite a bit? Is this precut better than the Frost King or just easier because it is precut. Tire noise is my main concern right now, but that might get alot better when I get rid of the runcraps.
