I bought an evor lip. I'm hoping its as thin as it looks in a members picture album but other members seem to have a thicker one.

Compare Skorch's to FlawlessZ's.

on the mat. Eager to get into the office and keep working.

Well that's better than a mod anyways. No use spending more money when you already owe it

Is your mat only for sound quality improvement, or nvh reduction or both?

Just like any other mat, it's primary use is for resonance dampening. Will it make the ride quiet? Yes but not in the big dramatic fashion everyone thinks it will. On average, 10sq ft of the 50MIL will reduce 3 decibels on idle and 1-2 at highway speed. The mat also acts a heat barrier but since the pro and ultra are asphalt based, we don't recommend use in the engine bay or around the exhaust. The butyl is still.undergoing testing for this.

I'm not worried about the engine bay or Volume reduction, as I like the sound. I'm just trying to keep out the harmonic vibrations that cause rattles and such as the rattles are extremely hard to work out.. lol

Gonna color match the whole thing, or black out the center like your fangs?

Really? I think white is one of the colors the CF looks really good with personally...

Red/White/Blue

Gale if you want coverage I know the guy that runs this Canadian car site/magazine that you might recognize if you go to the auto show or import fest.

AMF | Automotive Lifestyle Magazine – AutoMotoFoto.net

Anyway the guy has also done work for some other magazines like PAS and Import Tuner

I used to know the guys... I had one of my old cars in PAS and a trade magazine back when I was competing heavy in IASCA SQ, and several customer vehicles in PAS and a few other magazines, but I've been out of the loop for a while. I used to have full sponsorship for all my audio stuff and paid lodging when I went to shows. Good times
