Trunk redo, follow up

[mit at lunartransmission.com (miT)]

I have issues with the rear upper tail light plastic and my rear wiper
plastic hub vibrating and making an irritating noise when I rev (considering
that I have the loudest exhaust on this side of the planet). I was planning
on getting some subs for my trunk but I think that will just drive me over
the top with insanity. I saw a post before about rag material, it sounds
good enough to try. I'll let you all know how it goes.

  Yes, sound-deadening can give you the feeling that you have a new or 
completely different car...

  At the moment, I have my headliner and back seat out while I installed 
Dynamat Xtreme everywhere (ever notice how many things are 'Xtreme' 
nowadays?).  With all that stuff out, the car was undbearable, esp. with my 
ghetto muffler installed...  But, after I installed that dynamat, it made a 
huge difference...  It will be even more obvoius once I re-install the 
headliner and rear seat again.  But, I won't be able to do that until I
finish 
the foam...
