What kits did you guys use in your burbs for carpet kits? Id like to use some sound proofing too. Any help and pics would be great! thanx

Try these guys. I've read good things about their kits and am going to buy mine from here when I get to that stage. Wherever you get it from, please report back with your findings.

That looks like some good sound/heat shield for sure. The price is also right! Im thinking this is going to work nice rather than the $300 i was looking at spending on the suburban kit for the classic truck shops. Thanks for the tip Crazy Rich!

got some off ebay, bought extra yardage for rear of burb, cut it to fit, and brought it to a carpet place to have it bound on edges. (only $20 for binding!) it was $139 for carpet and a little more for extra yardage. I used roll roofing seal for soundproofing, about $390 a roll at home depot about 12" wide by 10 feel long. very sticky and molds great!

Remember the black and red traders truck? I had a 69 at that time, I saw it out at the pomona swap meet. I went home and cut the coils till the headers would high center on speed bumps.
