Just got mine in today! Thanks Huckleberry for posting pix, im gonna do the same thing...did you have any leftover?

Huckleberry · 08-16-2012, 01:46 AM

yeah, I had a tile slightly larger than the spare. That should be just enough to do the underside of plastic cover on the hatch!

GTMat · 08-16-2012, 09:41 AM

Huckleberry, thank you for the pictures!!

We eagerly await your review sir.

In my experience, the majority of the unwanted noise is from the wheel wells. Just tap on the rear wheel wells...the metal is thin!

Its best to remove the plastic rear hatch side panels that cover the shock towers in order to reduce unwanted noise entering the cabin.

First, the rear hatch rubber gasket needs to be pulled up to the top of these plastic side panels before these plastic panels can be removed. Next, the 4 plastic tie down clips need to be removed by inserting a standard blade screwdriver in the clip slots.

Second, the rear hatch plastic panel clips need to be removed before the rear hatch side panels and its clips can be remove. The rear hatch light need to be disconneted.

Third, the rear hatch side panels clips need to be removed.

Once all these rear hatch plastic panels are removed, the foam piece located in front of the space tire well can be removed so the sound deadening material can be installed on the steel car frame.

The other area of the 370Z that transfers noise into the cabin is the doors. The best way is to removed the door interior panels and remove the access panel in order to gain access the the back side of the door skins. This is time consuming and involves disconnecting the window motors and can have issues with the window tracks and window motors.

I would suggest reviewing the 370Z service manual that can be downloaded from this web site prior to removing the plastic panels. Also, a plastic panel removal tool is a must to prevent damage to the plastic panels.

Good luck!

Would anyone be interested in having their car featured on our promotional flyer? Preferably a full shot showing an install if possible?

ALthough I have my Z covered in sound deadening material (not your brand) I am up for it if you have a spray on sound deadening material. It would have to hold up to outside weather since I would spray in on the wheel wells.

Bummer, we do not have any spray on product at this time. Thanks for the offer though!

Huckleberry · 08-16-2012, 06:40 PM

I'd offer, but I don't know what I'm doing!

24hour impression:

The car is definitely a lot quieter. It's truly a god send for us that run around without a spare. Everything is still holding up great, even looks a bit more flat!

I luckily got your sample today. Some delivery companies use a navigation that has the wrong coordinates of my address but I know the person at my local post office who called my grandmother. Once my mother recovers from her surgery and can manage by herself. I'll get going on installing the stuff and be sure to write a great review! I can tell by the feel that this is no cheap stuff and will surely help out no matter where I put it.

GTMat · 08-17-2012, 10:27 AM

Glad to hear you received it Bad 24/7!

sillyoldtayo · 08-18-2012, 03:52 AM

Install was super easy! The supplied GTMat retractable ruler and roller helped a bit too. Thanks for everything! I forgot to get a picture with the trunk mat back in but I'm sure everyone already knows what that looks like. The system consists of 2 JL W1's in a custom box. It pounds hard!
