[QUOTE="Bereno, post: 7580768, member: 638453"] hi all! I just started an account today so that I could try and document my attempt at quieting down my Del Sol. His name is Carlos... Carlos the Del Sol. OK, so this is going to be very similar to [URL="http:////forums/general-discussion/429110-95-civic-del-sol-stripped-apart-sound-deadener-showdown-product-install.html"]Krisfnbz's thread from back in 2006[/URL], but hopefully I will have the pleasure of finishing it! Also, I would like to thank Don from [URL="http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com"]http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com[/URL] (SDS for short?) for helping me with my order! This has been a LONG time coming, and I am super excited to finally get it going. [B]A few things to know:[/B] [LIST] [*]I bought the car a while ago and left if bone stock.
