sound deadening
this was a pretty straight forward project. two downsides though: 1) it took 2 1/2 days and 2) i knicked the heck out of both hands. there were lots of places that i could not get my hand to and still have gloves on.
there were no difficulties with dissassembly/reassembly, there is plenty of info available. i did have to cut the carpet around the HVAC dump and also i could not get the headliner out of the car. so i worked above the headliner with it perched on the rear deck and the hand brake.

pic 2 shows some of the tiles installed, note that the car already has quite a bit of panel deadening material in place, mostly on the floor
pic 3 is the passenger floor with CCF and MLV installed
overall quite an improvement, my wife says that it is MUCH quieter now. i noticed that nearly all of the tire noise has gone away. this setup seems to remove higher frequencies, the exhaust is still very nice to hear though. i did run out of CLD tiles, so i still have the doors to do.
