Updated -I am thinking of removing the standard backpad. Anyway, I have a couple of questions. What should I cover the firewall with, perlon or carpet? Pros and cons of either? I would imagine that the sound insulator would need to come out and then glue the perlon/carpet to the bare metal? Is there anything I can do to reduce the additional noise? where can I relocate the backpad light? Any help and or suggestions appreciated, got any pics of yours post them please! TIA
Completed changing the backpad to perlon, wanted to share a couple pics. |

Someone has a kit in perlon they were selling on EBay I think. I am installing this kit currently. I will have pictures tomorrow. Great. I was wondering if it covered the entire back. From window to floor. |
