yes, it's true!! - tar can be removed with regular ice. You will needa LOT of ice, a chisel, hammer, and a few beers.

1.Get a lot of ice and fill up 4-6 1-gallon ziplock bags.
2. place the bagson the tarrred areas and let sit about a half-hour to let the tar harden up.
3. Place chisel at the edge of the tar, at a 45-degree angle to the surface and smack with hammer.
4. Tar should come off in playing-card sized "chips"
5. Clean up area and remove tar residue.

- i am in the process of doing this right now and pics should be up by the end of the night.

p.s. - now there are no excuses to rock sound-deadener in your trunk. LOL.

 

Unless maybe you want the sound deadened?

 

true, but its awful stuff and it isn't the best stuff in the world- i plan on taking it all out and using dynamat. my exhaust is too, too, tooo loud!

 

Dynamat ftl.. It is overpriced. I can refer you to a few sites ive done business with that are 10x better than dynamat for much much less.
www.secondskinaudio.com <--- excellent stuff
www.elementaldesigns.com <-- budget, but worth the money
http://www.raammat.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi <--- Good stuff, very helpful as well.

 

-my dad owns a car audio shop and has a 100-foot roll of dynamat. soooo.... my price is $0.00

 

dynamat is still ugly. unless of course you plan on having interior, and its not like the few pounds you save taking sound deadening out makes a difference.

 

- actually i planned to paint the interior of the hatch and dynamat the underside of the car - don't know how i am going to do that yet tho..........

 

hmm i kinda want the sound deadened on the dime. thanks for the link la phantom

 

No problem man. I can tell you first hand that if you have an exhaust, deadening helps a bunch. My pacesetter used to drone at 3-3.5k rpms and it resonated throughout the car. Put 2 layers of eDead in the back from the tail lights to the rear seat and its much better. I got 75 sq ft and 1 gallon of their liquid stuff for $150 shipped.

 

Good info everyone. I know the sound deadner dosent remove alot of weight, but its good if you are trying to paint the interior like i am. I plan to add some sound deadning sheets to a few choice places when Im done painting tho, Thank Phantom for the links A+

(Naptime wtf have you been!!!)

 

Also noteworthy... Our doors and floorpan are notorious for letting in excess noise. Good luck taming the beast mang.

 

what color? i gutted the rear of mine and painted it with textured black rustoleum. its pretty sturdy for spraypaint and looks pretty good too.

 

someting clean and simple, probably just a low gloss black, I plan on doing all the interior sheet metal and placing some sound deadner sheets on the noisy areas. Possibly some were down the line I would like to add an Autopower Rollcage. Basically im not gonna rock the rear trim panels at all nor carpet

 

Ugh. Stripped interior ftl. Unless of course theres a damn good reason.

 

my interior is green because i am a ricer.
