I've used several different kinds of deadener and only two I'd go with would be Second Skin and Cascade, but I'd stick with SS, just cos I find it a bit more effective, though I don't recall the line I used from Cascade.
How about dynamat extreme? I think that has an adhesive peel as well correct?

It doesn't, he was just referring to your username when answering ur question.

Eh, I didn't like it. First, it's too expensive, especially for the quality. 2nd, it's not as good as Damplifier, the regular stuff. It's way too tacky so when you put it on somewhere and you mess up, you may have difficulties taking it off and placing it where it needs to go. Cascade and Second Skin don't have that problem at all and it's a huge benefit. Finally, it's just the name. People mainly know of Dynamat since it's the only one sold in stores like Best Buy, etc.

I mean it's not bad, but if I had to pay a little more for another product I would, but if I remember correctly it's more expensive.

After almost a year, I am finally on my path to start my setup. I sold pretty much everything and I'll be keeping it simple for now by running just a sub. I'll still be using the JL 15W6, but I'll be doing a false floor. As for the amp, I really don't know what I'll use...something inexpensive, maybe oldschool, and hopefully with a fairly small footprint.

I have several ideas for the car and eventually want all them to tie in together. My main concern is where to mount the amps and I can't do it where the rear seats are in the trunk since I plan to have a mini fridge there down the line....worst case scenario I'll just put the amps there and re-do the floor in the future.

As for the car itself, it's been through quite a bit. 5 different wheel setups, 3 different suspension setups, and some minor things here and there. I'll get a picture posted later today

If anyone wants to lend ideas, I'm up for taking in ideas

Here's a few pics, the crappy looking pic is the most recent, only thing different are the sun visors on the sides of the car and the black roof vinyl. Tail lights will be overlayed leaving brake lights and reverse lights open in a few weeks.

Jager, sake, whatever the ladies want

I got curtains on the way so I don't need find dining anymore...just need some chocolate covered strawberries and she can have her banana nut sundae in the back seat....and what goes down, well, we can blame that on the alcohol, haha.

I'm gonna put a sake table on the passenger dash and redo the entire interior...no aluminum look at all, strictly wood grain. I'm really diggin the VIP look. I'll be honest, I even considered a stripper pole in the back where the hump is in the middle (behind the center console), but I think it's too much of a hassle and honestly a waste cos there's not enough room to use it, not even for a midget.

Yep, most definitely...thinking about doing LED's on them as well. Nothing crazy, just ones that are similar to angel eyes (the shape), but kinda iffy on that idea.

Lol.

So...I'm sorta thinking about doing something a bit different. My friend said doing IB would be pretty easy and rather than a mini fridge I was thinking about this:



Only problem is it measure 26" with the bottles so I wouldn't be able to put it where the back seat is and I'd have to put it where the spare tire goes. Another issue is where would I put the tank for my air bag setup? I'm going to be selling my Ohlins coilovers so if anyone's interested, let me know.
