Inspections are ok with me.Thats the way it should be. Adam and I just stripped the interior and getting ready to mat the floor before body work. I'm not sure if I want to pull the dash out and mat behind that. Ive never done that before and Im nervous on the results. Anyone have an opinion on this? Id love to hear feedback on it. Ive noticed with my Jeep the matting helped with my legal scores but dropped my outlaw scores and like I said Ive never pulled the dash. All other panels will be done separately with metering in between but if Im gonna do the dash I gotta do it now.

I'd say wait til the season starts up and see how much of a difference you have between other competitors in that class. If your a lot louder then leave it, if your lower then try adding it under the dash between shows and see what you gain or lose, then rip it out if needed.

only prob is steve its not easy to just rip off but i would do it.

A heat gun and a scraper will help if it's necessary.

 

[street b explor 10+ year member]

not if hes using the good stuff. Heat and wire harness dont do well together. o well ? is have ya done it before heat and a scraper will take it off. But last i seen dashes are not like flat.

I wont be easy to rip the mat out after. I'm just gonna take a chance and do it now now that the car is gutted.

Don't know Tj, when I matted my floor I pulled up the wiring harnesses and matted under them, not over them. So heat won't have any effect on my wires if I decide to pull up my FatMat someday. A heatgun, a decent scraper, leather gloves and time is all ya need to get it off.

you cant do that with my mat . its not that easy seen how it hardens like a rock and to re heat it you need to put crazy heat to it and by doing so will cause the paint to peal off. and working on a flat surface is alot easer then the dash. and no matter what way ya look at it under the dash you will have to cover a wire here and there so a lil 411 is all im given from past experience.

yeah but the deadener you used is some insane type stuff that nobody else around here uses, nothing I'd ever spend the money on thats for sure. I never bothered to matt under the dash, but the rest of the Blazer wasn't an issue moving wires.

Those are sick amps. I'm jealous that you got those so quick. I'm still waiting on my amp. Customs is a pain I guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
