Fatmat

I finally finished installing my FatMat sound deadener in my interior. I started yesterday morning (I was supposed to start it Friday night but fell asleep) and I worked until 8 last night and it still wasn't finished. So this morning I got up early and finished up putting the stuff in. Now I just have to put the interior back in and ill be all set. I will post up pictures and let you all know how much of a difference this stuff makes once I get it completely finished and take it for a ride. I do have to say that this was a HUGE pain in the ass to install and my back and knees are killing me. I ordered 100 sq ft of this stuff and it was just enough to do the entire trunk and the front/rear floor pan including the transmission well. I want to order more in the future to do the door panels and hopefully the roof.

EDIT:

Here are some pics....

Well everything is reinstalled but now my seat heaters dont work. I unplugged 3 connectors from the passenger side seat and I think only 1 connector from the drivers side seat but when I went to put them back together, there was a 4th connector on the passenger side and a 2nd one on the drivers side that had nowhere to go. Im fucking confused. There was also an extra connector on each side next to the seat that was tied up as if it were for an add on but what could be added on if I already had power/heated seats?

Lol There is only 3 connectors that I disconnected under my passenger seat and only 1 that I disconnected under my drivers seat. I am thinking the extra connectors were under the carpet before I took everything apart. Im hoping I just blew a fuse.

Pics added.

Thanks! Yeah I gotta check the fuses and hopefully thats all that is messed up. Good news is that I wont need the seat heaters for about 6 months, lol.

Nah you cant, they are all different colors and keyed. They only go into the ones they came out of.

Another good thing I got from doing this install was finding my old ipod Nano that I lost 2 years ago, lol. I ripped my trunk apart looking for it last summer but couldnt find it then while taking the fuse box out of the trunk, there it was just laying there under the fuse box.

bonus

That looks like a lot of work.

Score!

Wow, im impressed you stripped your whole car like that. i hope the FatMat works out for ya so you can benefit from that ipod you found!!

I put that shit in just my trunk and I thought that was a huge pain in the ass! I can't believe you did the entire car. I'm not sure I'd have the patience for that. You're gonna notice a huge difference in reduction of exhaust and road noise.

Yeah it was a huge pain in the ass. It does help out with the road noise and the exhaust isnt as loud inside the car. I wish I went with the thicker stuff but it is what it is and I am not doing this again.

maybe the extra plugs are for seat massagers!!

In Magnums it isn't so hard, when I cleaned my interior everything came out without a hassle. About the only thing I didn't remove was the passenger seat and carpet. For fear of having to pay the dealership $100 to reset the seat. Any problems with your passenger seat joejoe?

Oh and I have a box of dynomat imma use, just haven't gotten to it. After I reassembled the interior some of the squeeks and rattles went away.

How much weight do you think it added to the car Joe?

Just curious.

I know at least like 50-75 lbs but thats a max if even that. A box of dynamat is like 30ish lbs and covers 36sq ft.

i used 100sq ft of the fat mat and the shipping weight was 31lbs.

hmmm maybe mine is thicker? I should get on that lol
