1997-2002 Grand Prix owners look here!

Just got my Damplifier Pro trunk kit in the mail and before installing it, me being a noob and all, I wanted to know how everyone with a Grand Prix set their trunks up.

I know the trunk lid will need to be done as it rattled like a mofo with my last system and it was nothing compared to my current setup.

What I am wondering is what other places I need to hit? I was thinking of doing the bed of the trunk but that looks pretty solid so I think that would be overkill. Then I looked at the side walls, or wheel wells, but that looks solid as well as their only 2 peices that make up the side wall. So that leaves the rear of the trunk that I know will need to be done. So other than the lid and the rear what needs to be done?

Also I was thinking of using expanding foam to fill in the holes in the trunk lid before I placed the mat on the lid and heard that there is a specific type that I need to use and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks:veryhapp:

I took the day Sunday to take a swing at it. I got the trunk lid done and it sounds solid and looks like it makes a pretty good seal when closed. I dont have a sunroof so I dont have to worry about that. I noticed that there appears to be a breather hole on the right hand side of the trunk. I removed the diverter that was there and now I have to figure out what I can do to seal this off. I will be getting some expanding foam later today to fill in the sheet metal on the rear of the trunk and the side walls. I still have 2 1/2 sheets left of the second skin left so I guess I will install the system and see what rattles and fix it from there.
