I got it from Global Accessories,

Great costumer service, and I was a pain, I asked for samples more than 3 times! and I even got a free yard of the material, because I want to cover the pillars as well, I like the idea of "sound absorbing materials" near the windshield, thinking of sticking 1/8 CCF under.

It looks much better in real life, and kind of makes me feel cozy at the steering wheel.

We'll see what my lovely wife has to say!!!

Before I was somewhat considering a dash mat... because it'll help keep that wierd gas that leaches out of the plastic from making that white cloudy mess on the windshield, PLUS it'd help absorb noises for better sounding speakers.... BUT now that you said it also helps with the sound of rain hitting the windshield... oh man... i'm really considering it now.

Goal... Get married, Get new job, pay off CC debt,Get dash mat & Start the equipment phase of my install (already have most of the deadening done).

getting maried in like 40 days... and hopefully I should have a job offer in about 3 weeks (process has been going for nearly 5 months already, almost done).

Yeah the dash mat is good! Congratulations 40 days! and crossing fingers for your new job.

I have until July to finish my project, because my daughter will be born and I bet I'm going to be very busy.

Yesterday I did most of the panels of the dash board (Mat + CCF) they look very ugly but who cares, we never see the back side anyway.

Last night...

Ok this time I wasn't going to let me be lazy, I had to remove the OEM deadening material, specially in this area (on the floor behind passengers side), TOYOTA Engineers are telling us where is the noise coming from! Just look at that peace of FOAM, almost 2 inches thick... when I say this I new I had to do it right! Also this section flexes a lot, just push with your hand and you'll see it moving! so here are the pictures...

Here is the OEM deadening material that rests under the 2 inches of foam.

PAINFUL PROCESS

Almost there...

Cleaning it up...

This hole goes straight to the road!...

And mine is less than 5 inches from the road!...

Yesterday I received my newest order for some more RAAMmat BXTII and another 9 sq ft. of Ensolite. I think I'm good with the mat, and I'll need to be selective on where I put the Ensolite. I have made virtually zero progress on my car this week, just too hectic. Unlike you (Mr. Vampire!) I need my sleep!

Here Mr. Vampire...needs some sleep!

Last night my poor little kid had a small accident on his car seat

(not in the Yaris, the other car)

if you know what I mean, and I took the seat apart to clean it, and I had to come very early to the office this morning, I feel sleepy

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm getting more material next week, at lunch I was trying to install Penguin Garage rear hub 10mm spacers and I couldn't take the drum off

, I'll try at home using the bolts that hold the hood to take it out, so I can install my new shoes!

Sqcomp it's turning my project into this... LINK4video

It seems that we're all doing cool little projects.

I'll put up a step by step tutorial to go along with that Youtube video. That should take any guess work out of the removal of the integrated piece and install of an aftermarket source.

derickveliz2 · 04-30-2010, 02:40 PM

I may be able to use my Pioneer DEH 835R Head Unit!

YEAHHHH!!!

derickveliz2 · 05-02-2010, 09:03 AM

I forgot I also have a Premier (Pioneer) 6 disk magazine, I guess is not a big deal since MP3s are so popular. I'll install it and keep there my 6 favorite CD disks.
