hey guys and girls, just finished my sound system in my VY S II and i have dynamatted the front doors and the boot lid. is there some sort of boot trim that i can buy to cover up the dynamat?
was there a factory option for a carpeted boot lid cover to hide the underside of the boot lid?
thanks
sure is, just go to your local holden parts centre and they cna order it in, i believe it was a option for the calais if i recall correctly.
should be about $70 i think
can i see how u did the dynamat on ur boot and doors with some pics or something ?

Mint. That helps me too. I was gunna go talk to an appolsterer about making one.
awesome thanks guys!! i didnt apply the dynamat myself, i had it done when i got my speakers and amp installed by the pros. my god it makes a difference, spesh for the sub in the back, i highly recomend it. i dont have any pics on my laptop atm but, i did however see how they applied it and it looks very easy. all they did was remove the backing of the dynamat sheets, slap it on the inside of the door/boot lid, and they used a small metal roller to really work the dynamat sheeting into all the groves and contours of the car paneling making sure to push out as much air pockets as possible. it was a really cold day when they were doing it so the used a heat gum to gently soften the sheeting. if you would like some picks just post or PM me your email and il happily send you some picksim also making a ride thread soon when i wash my car so there will be tons of pics on there haha.
XD cant wait to see em, email me some at wrx_sti69@hotmail.com
im just stuck on how to apply it, like you no on the boot lid how it isnt flat and that, i got a bit confused there on like, do you just put it over the top of all the holes
no probs, il take a bunch of pics for you tomorrow arvo and il attach them to an email. (btw, my next car is going to be a subaru STI so im liking your email adress haha)
for the boot lid, there is all the structural suport which is spot welded to the actual boot skin, this has alot of contours and holes, and bumps all over the place. the dynamt sheeting is pretty flexible and will work into all these groves. u really need to work it in, make sure u get as much air bubbles out as possible. place your sheet on the boot lid and just lightly attach it to the metal so that it doesnt fall down when the boot is up. start working it in with a small roller from the centre out. starting from the centre insures minimal air pockets and best coverage.
its pretty simple, just take your time and you will love the end result.
i just sent you an email,there are a few pics attached
