No smell. Easily removed as if it was 60 degrees. No gue. nothing. The shiny aluminized side had stayed about normal to the touch. The underside was normal . Took it outside for a smell test. It was fine. In appearance and everything. I dont believe this was the product used in the post where a friend had a poor expirience in a heated condition. For this puts end to this. Still will check but i dont anticipate a problem. :happydance:
:iagree:
Good test right here. Im thinking you saved people a bunch of cash with the Frost King discovery.

Great idea. Awesome that it looks like this stuff is going to work. Perfect.

Pictures Finally

Finally had a few minutes last night to download pictures off my camera.

I first bought the FatMat Trunk Kit, 5 sheets @ 18 x 36. This covered the fender humps, the front area behind the seats, and up and over the axle beam. But that was it.

Then I bought a 25 square ft FatMat bulk kit, 5 sheets @ 18 x 40. With this I was able to finish the bottom, back corners, back wall, and have 1 sheet left to double up on the fender humps.

In other words, if you want to do the ENTIRE back end, you will need about 50 sq ft.

Here's the rest of the pics.

Here's pics before the job even started, and then after it's done, putting everything back in.

Nice job. i would still add a layer , say 1/2inch of some other insulating material over the Fat Mat.

With all the specialty parts made for these cars I cant believe a company cant easily make a sound mat thats cut for our trunk areas. A simple computer mapping would make the cutting easy. Just sayin:yum:

Somebody should sell a sound proofing kit for the Z with the precut pieces of fatmat or dynamat all ready to go. I'm lazy, I would buy a kit like that.

One would think. This car is an anomaly.

On the after market front, I can't even get Weather Tech to make a formed rubber trunk liner mat for our cars either, and that's what they DO.

I guess with the super low production on these things we should be happy we got the car at all? Beggars can't be choosers??

I read an article (Second Skin?) that said 100% coverage was overkill, and that covering the center of most panels would be enough to deaden vibrations. After that, a sound absorber was recommended.

Does anyone think you don't really need 100% coverage?

Is there really any reason to keep those foam panels in the back

Foam Panels

Evil, i was thinking the same. Actually, the area around the spare is a nice unseen storage compartment once you remove the spare. I added those pieces of carpet insulation behind those panels also. They probably help with some sound insulating from the wheel wells though.

What if I dont want to remove my spare. My Bose Sub sits on top of it

Thanks for posting those picts up. That is almost exactly what I did with the FatMat product. Your pictures save me from posting up mine. I may have accidently deleted mine cause I can't find mine amoungst all my SD chips.

Thanks again.... it will help others.... :tiphat:

Too Bad
 
Three of us cant get togther who used Dynamat, FatMat and Frost King and actually compare by riding in each others car over the same conditions. What works best? Full application, partial application. With doors and without. Adding extra layer on top and without. Which is best?
