I had that **** in my doors before you knew what dynamat did
Okay good ... all you gotta do is ask ...

Oh and by the way, I agree with not cutting the actual metal of your car ... your situation isn't THAT bad, your trunk is big enough, I think you'll be able to play around with different sizes.
So it seems as if my trunk is not getting any bigger (aka different car) cutting into MY CAR might be something to consider
LMAO ... anything to make fit ... but then again, I would never try for 2 15's ...

I can't wait until you get to practice on another Oldsmobile You may have seen it before ...

Subwoofers will be a pair of 12"s but I will not say which ones until they are purchased.

I'm about to go make the cuts right now...

Not tryin' to hate; just real talk here: I'm not feeling the waviness of the stripes on the burberry pattern. Colours look good, but wrapping contoured parts makes it look weird IMHO. I would have wrapped it in something patternless.

[edit] if you stick with the theme, you should wrap your headliner in that fabric too.

I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately the fabric has ZERO stretch. So for example, the center console was a pain in the ***, hence the waves due to the consistent pulling and trying to manipulate the fabric.

If I can find a professional to do the headliner... it might get done.
