[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8803616, member: 656095"] Cont. . . On the left side looking towards the rear of the car you can see that it needs more material to be added so both sides are more symmetrical. The gaps present are with the baffle clamped to the car which can be seen in the first photo. We're working on the first level of finishing so I needed the baffle to be under tension as if it were bolted in. As you can see I haven't drilled any holes but this is due to their needing some fabrication on the rear trunk area. The bracket in the second photo is going to be retained and will be used as a further mechanical connection to the car. It has a companion on the right side as well. 1/2" bolts, washers, lockwashers, and nuts will be used throughout.

The other two will be mounted under the rear deck which will take a significant amount of modification, but that will be down the road a bit.
