lol thats why i was showing you can get it for cheaper and skip out on the thinsulate. its not that bad. lol that price quote is without shipping. its like 1000$ in the end if you get it all through him

Said it worked really good.
The thing about gt mat is it is a deadener. it serves to stop resonance of the panels, so you actually only need 25% coverage with this type of item. the mlv is what really serves as a sound barrier. adding extra of the dampener is actually just added weight. it doesnt actually block the sound.
found this thread when i searched for information comparing gtmat (the stuff your buddy used) and sds mlv.

Interior Update
Before:
Dashboard Removed:
Material used on dash:
Shot of wrapped dashboard before going in:
Shot of dashboard installed:
Next was the install of the JDM Trim A/C controls and JVC Radio:
Time to install these:
But First, lets install some new door checks, cause my fn shins hurt:
Then moved to wiring all the speakers 14 gauge thru molex:
Used some sticky Velcro stuff to attach the components to the doors:
Time to make all those wires / connections look good with head shrink and terminal connectors:
Added a couple of relays. One behind the dash and one in the trunk for the amp etc:
Rear 6x9s in:
While all my interior was out of the car, I decided to do some refreshing of the plastics with a heat gun.
Door panel before / after:

After:
Center console before / after:

Interior Update 2
After all that was done. I sent out some pieces to get painted:
Here is the color up close:
Now that we got those pieces done. Lets move on to the real reason why most of you are subbed......The 350z gauge / tablet project I started.
When i first was like, yah, this wont work, i'll have to make something:
Then it was time to cut the dash:
Rough mock up of how I wanted it:
Then it was ready for some fiberglass / bondo and a lot of hard work:
Test fitting it to make sure I didn't F anything up:
After a lot and i mean A LOT of sanding. It was time for some primer and more sanding:
Entire piece:
Then it was time to finally shoot some paint on a 4 month project.
Now, while that cures for a few days I spent the time wiring up all the stuff for the gauges / tablet. Forgot to snap pictures...
Then it was back to the interior stuff....
Suede Fabric:
Rear deck, rear pillars and headliner installed:
Rear Lower Panels installed:
Then the pillar gauge pod:
Plastics were painted to match. I didn't want the black trim.
Then i went by my favorte place (Turbo-Toys) to pick up some 350z convertible sun visors, these will be dyed as well to match:
Just yesterday this arrived:
So, that is where she sits for now. Ill be adding some more photos in a couple of days. Once i get a little further.
