[6pack] Under carpet treatment

[ron]

Steve,

We use DynaMat Xtreme in all of our cars. It is installed on all the flat 
panels, door skins, trans tunnel, and cowl. It does two things, keeps out 
the under hood and under car heat as well as reducing the road noise. The 
car feels much more solid and it is definitely more comfortable to drive in 
the summer. You can buy the DynaMat on Amazon
There are pictures of an installation at www.rvar.shutterfly.com.
