I'm putting new carpet in my 88 Vert and the dash is out since I replaced the heater core, do you think it would be easier to put the carpet in before or after the dash?
Thanks

Thanks, I might try and put the dash in first, it seems like all the wiring hanging down might get in my way
yeah I think I'll put the dash in first. I already have a carpet, but the mass back looks like it would of been a better choice lol
I just ordered some ACC carpet from LMR, but now I'm wondering if I got the mass back or not? Where on the site does it even say? I got the black carpet they show for '82-93 but it doesn't say anything about the backing. It doesn't have the heavy padding/sound deadening that the factory carpet had underneath it...is that what we're talking about or...?
I just searched on the site "mass back" and found the carpet that I did NOT order lol

Where on the site does it say if it's mass backing or not? I'm trying to buy a carpet kit for my hatchback

Anyone have any good recommendations for insulating heat from the interior before putting new carpets in? i.e. from exhaust heat, etc? It was 112 in an area I drove through yesterday and I was getting dizzy from the heat pouring in through the floorboard. Doesn't help I don't have a/c but engine would run too hot anyhow.

I have a box of Dynamat....so you are saying that will kill some of the heat as well?

I need to research more I guess....was reading somewhere on here with the issue being heat dissipation. Cars half gutted on the interior anyhow, so wouldn't be hard to jump in on it. Want to get all new carpets, door panels, seats etc, so may hold off till I'm ready for the whole package.

a bed liner on the underside will held as well. I'm not a huge fan of dynomat something like second skin audios damplifier pro is 10x better but a product like heatwave pro or spectrum are also great options.

You can pay for the expensive stuff but at the end of the day my truck with dynomat vs your vehicle with whatever brand will sound the same. Thickness is what matters. And yes that's what she said.

Back to this carpet... Is this the kit with the mass backing? Or is the mass backing only on the hatch carpet?
