[QUOTE="tommymilan311, post: 8483381, member: 664761"] Okay. So I have some more driver side door treating for you. So I had some issues getting the ensolite to stick to my door so its back to the drawing board with the MLV. I'm thinking I may just stick it to the shell of my door panel rather than trying to stick it to the door itself and clean and carfully stick thin strips to the high points of the plastic insert on my door. I will be waiting for some warmer weather, looks like Sunday and beyond is going to be pretty nice temp wise. I'm in my garage so precipitation isn't much of an issue, just wanna park my car before it starts so I don't get my garage floor all wet. Also keep in mind I'm still a bit of a newb. I have done pretty extensive research and and read over a few builds, but this is my first merry go round of actually doing it. So I make some newb mistakes, like not making sure I have black electrical tape [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif[/IMG] So. I did some treating to the speaker mounting area.
