Not much at all since I threw away all of the carpet padding and the dynamat I have is really thin. It is the self adhesive stuff. When the upholstery shop puts in my new carpet they use lightweight foam for padding.

Meh, you still have a console in.

Mine is stripped right now thanks to a leaky window seal. I figured if I were gonna dry it out I might as well pressure wash the carpet as well.

New window seal and clean carpet = time to put it back together.

Your project is gonna be hawt, let's see it done get to work!

Cool man I am going to use Frodo as my front end man it boots SUPER FAST because I am using SATA and not really putting a lot of startup programs on it.
