Cabin noise

He was way off on the estimate. He said 4 hours or less for dynamat and springs. The dynamat alone took 4 hours, maybe a bit more. So i guess I really got my money's worth in terms of labor.

Bonzo was right!

Did he charge you more? But now the question is : does this guy know what he is doing?

No, he didn't charge me more. I took some pics in process and it looks like he was covering the natch and doors pretty decently. Used a heat gun too.

He actually undercharged me by a bit. I picked up some post MAFs that I brought along to install as well since I was having all that other stuff done. He was going to charge me $20 for that, but forgot it at the end. So the final tally

Swift springs - $290
spring install - $130
Dynamat install - $140
post MAF install - $0
total - $560

I think it was a pretty good deal overall.

Well as I said before, for this price I could have driven to California, had a vacation and returned for less than what I paid. It cost me $1200 including materials... This is just so far out of line with what I paid, its incredible! Good for you!

Plan to go back for brake lines/fluid drain.

Here are some pics I took during the install.

Do the two big plastic triangular pieces in the trunk just pop off I'am assuming? Then the carpet just pulls off?

P.S. My Z hasn't arrived yet..

brucelidat · 05-22-2012, 07:18 PM

I don't know. I wasn't watching the entire time. I just stepped in to take some progress shots to post here.

Carpet first, then interior pieces, then foam, then spare.

Was wondering if mounting a product like Dynamat or Luxury liner pro to the top or underside of the plastic corrugated cover in the hatch would help? Sort of sandwich it between the carpet and the plastic cover maybe?

You would think that that would pretty much seal off the noise coming from below. Has anyone done this? iF so, what were your results and how much did you need?
