How much of a difference did the deadening mat make to the car? I have a 10' Sport Touring and can't believe how much road noise it has coming from the rear tires. Would be nice to quiet it up a bit.

the mat i would say made like a 60-70% difference... if you were to get the 80mil that gt mat sells and maybe stack them... you wouldnt hear anymore road noise...

so this is how it went down...

overall i would rate the success rate of this swap to be a 95% me and my buddy dropped off our cars in the morn around 8. I inspected all the calipers and they were all pristine... no scratches at all :tup:

My friend was able to finish both cars by 4... he even changed the brake fluid :tup: on both cars... that was nice of him to do.... i paid my buddy about $700 and another $427 on the labor which i thought wasnt too bad considering the amount of work that had to be done.... he threw in the sport enkei :tup: made my day

now here was the sh!tty part..... before i picked up my z... i did a walk around.... everything was good.... no scratches or any damage... THEN i did a walk around on the brakes... and holey sh!t it felt like someone stabbed me in the back and twisted it.... the front passenger caliper had a big scratch...to make things worst it was on the "nissan" i felt like crap after i saw that.... i was crying inside lmao..... now since i know the guy who worked on my z.... even if i said take your time..... i know he wanted to get both z's outa there..... it looks like he tried to mount the rim and missed :facepalm: and scratched the caliper... i felt bad since im really close to him and i couldnt get mad :shakes head: plus i know people make mistakes when your tired so i let it go...

drove home bad tripping the whole time... thinking to myself damn now i gotta get a passenger BBK caliper... FML....

i parked my z and felt horrible, so i decided to try and fix it... i decided to buff it out... i spent 2 long hours working some mild rubbing compound to even the surface up with a mothers power cone you guys will never guess what :tup: it worked.... the scratch is still there but its more blended it... not like it use to be 3 lines going down..... ran a nice wax on it and it came out beautiful... :happydance: you cant tell unless your like 3 inches away from the caliper... i was so relieved

i also painted the hats of the rotors so they are a nice satin black instead of rust color lol.... i still gotta paint the rear and im good to go :tup:

Post some full pictures man, I havent seen your car in a while :)

^this :tup:

i will man...:tup: needa just shoot rattle can on the rear rotors.. they are rust color :( but the weather here sucks i think there are like 3 storms lingering in the area... one past already and another one is close by... i hope nothing hits home.... :shakes head:

Do you mind if I use your pictures?

for what bro? go ahead.... :tup: the more i see my z on the web the happier it makes me lol
