I’m glad to see people are interested in this project. I hope my experience will help answer questions and motivate others to do their own custom installs.

Today I applied FatMat (Dynamat Extreme) to the frame of the door. The FatMat is a little lighter weight than Dynamat Extreme, but the quality seems to be just as good. For the price you just can’t beat it.

I lightly sanded and prepped the doors last week, so today I just cleaned the doors one last time with a citrus degreaser. I then cut up small pieces of FatMat and stuck them in the strange shapes of the door. There are lots of bumps and divots to fill, so I started small and worked my way to a flush surface. Once the doorframe looked more like a level surface, I started using nice big sheets of FatMat to cover my work. Using an old towel and a hair dryer I picked up at Value Village for 2 bucks, I heated every inch of that surface and used the towel to apply pressure and smooth the mat. I personally found using a towel was easer than using a Dynamat roller…of course I’ve never used the roller.(lol)

So, the install looks great! The doors have that shiny foil look from the FatMat and the road noise is almost totally gone. I still have the driver side door to do tomorrow.

Oh, and I took picks of everything, but I don’t have a digital camera so I’ll have to scan them in later.

Question: Where can I find these 6 1/2s adapters you spoke about?
