much much easier sending it to a well known panel shop to do that, my bro had that done to his gem, cost him an arm and a leg but well worth it

Then you're still deadening the floor but you won't be able to see it.

Yeah, I'll be going nuts with deadener on the inside when I get my next one, I'm redoing the interior so i figured I'd go nuts with some kind of spray on or puddy type Deadener, only to cover it again with a thickish insulator, then carpet on top of that. And running it as far up the rear and fronts as I can. I cant say I enjoy driving in space ships, but theres a limit to the noises that I want to hear. Looking good though osk.

Its not like the car will be driven every day anyway, so im sure the road noise won't bother me
