wow again more great work. I wish I had the skills you do... or I wish you would just sell me the car lol. I'm sure it will be amazing when you finish with it.

Alright, after fighting with all of my interior panels for the day, I resumed this project during the evening hours. I started by doing the bottom side of the rear deck, but had to stop because my stomach didn't take too lightly to the weird effect I felt sitting upside down...

...and now it was time to start the back of the car...

...I added a layer of Damplifier to the back, putting two layers on the wheel wells.

...tommorow I am going to tap the holes for my speakers and start the Spectrum process.

as do i, respect for you, because that shits a pain in the ass to apply

 

[MetalMaxima 10+ year member]

Ugh, Christ. I finally stripped the cabin down to bare metal today, removed the dash, and did a dry-fit of my speakers. I know in most cars it's pretty easy to do all of this, BUT NOT IN A MAXIMA. My hands are sore as $hit right now. Tommorow I finish up all mat applications!

Wow... mad props for all the money and labor you put into the Maxima! I'm currently deadening my car as well and am reading your log as a reference where to apply my b-quiet because I noticed many area are similiar to my Sentra. Keep up the great work and hope you achieve that BMW quietness //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

One question tho... I noticed you still have your steering wheel on so it doesnt need to removed to take out the dash? How about the passenger airbag? Thanks!
