Spent last weekend installing the stuff. Cutting the sheet was fairly easy once I gave up on cutting it with a knife and switched to scissors. I was only able to cover the rear part of the wheel wells, the vertical panel between the taillights, part of the brace for the strut towers, and a few odds and ends with the 10 sq ft provided.
This was my first time for this kind of project and the results ain't pretty. There are some screws sticking up on the floor of the spare tire area that were a PITA, but I managed to get the hang of neatly poking a small hole in the thick foil after 3-4 tries.
All-in-all, it was pretty easy after a relatively short learning period.
I had the interior panels removed/replaced by my favorite body shop. On the way home I was terribly disappointed in the lack of noise reduction. As I was pulling into the garage, I noticed the panel that goes over the spare tire and the two pieces of carpet that go on top of that. Reinstalled the carpet and discovered that there _was_ quite a bit of noise reduction. Thanks GTMat! I'm giving serious thought to ordering another 10 sq ft or so and finishing the area behind the seats, particularly the front of the wheel wells. I might even do the doors.
Whew! Had me worried there for a second. When you're ready to order, don't forget your coupon!

Quick question for you guys: Do you prefer the mat product shipped in roll form or precut into sheets?

I think my (first-timer) install would have been quite a bit easier if I had had 6-12" squares - I ended up cutting more-or-less rectangular pieces for the larger areas and filling in the small, odd-shaped places freehand from "scraps". I'm guessing that, with more experience on my part, sheets would be better to allow for fewer seams.

PS: A page or two of instructions would have been a nice touch. The install is easy enough to figure out, especially if one has seen a tutorial or two, but not exactly intuitive.

PPS: I'm still impressed with the quality of the roller that was included. I was surprised that one was even included in the kit. Helps make up for the lack of instructions.

I vote for precisely pre-cut product for easy installation in a 370Z

Hi SouthArk! A sheet of instructions should have been included along with the roller, a tape measure and a set of decals. If you did not receive these things, I wouldn't mind sending them to you if you still have a use for them, or just want swag.

The instructions look like this:

hmmm All I got was a sheet of material and a roller. I have plenty of tape measures and I can wait until I order more material to get some decals. But thanks for the offer.

PS: Just copied my review on this site to Facebook.

Anyone willing to make a review video and post to YouTube? We'd like to hear what your ride sounds like.

Sorry we couldn't find anyone to help you out 9Zs. I promise, the install process is not difficult. The hardest part will probably be removing the plastic panels to access your install points.




Thursday bump!

I"m in jakcsonville florida I can send you pics and stuff if you need it. Its really easy to install just time consuming the one thing that is taking me the longest is cutting card board boxes the right size to measure the mat so I have less patches and more solid big pieces on mat. It also looks alot better

What would be fantastic would be for someone with cad skills to work up a set of templates that could be printed on that huge plotter paper. Cut the templates, trace them out on the GTMat and cut to fit. I'll bet people would pay $20 for a professionally prepared set of prints.
