My weekend project is to remove the backpad and rubber pad behind it. So far so good - the two combined weight 26 lbs! I'm going to put down some Dynamat Extreme and then lay a Morph carpet kit over the top.
One question. Do I need to remove all of the glue that is stuck to the firewall from the original pad, or do you think I can just lay the Dynamat over it? What should I use? So far I've tried Goof Off and a razor blade scrapper, but that's going to take a while and I already have a buzz going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

John,
I hear tell that the Classic II's sit you about 2" higher in the car than the stock seats resulting in interference with the steering wheel. What's your opinion? Andys |

Andys I'm 5'7" - not an issue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You do sit higher, but with the stock seat bracket, you retain full adjustability so I don't see it being too much of an issue unless you are so tall that your knees come close to touching the steering wheel even with the stock seats. You can kind of tell in the first picture that there is a fair amount of room between the top of the seat and the bottom of the wheel. |
