OFFICIAL GB: SHOK INDUSTRIES SOUND DEADENING MATT

Well that was a PIA! I'm not sure I would recommend this project, But I'm only half done right now. I still need to do three more doors and possibly the roof. Although I had a hard time figuring out how to get the headliner down. I was a little nervous about the side air bags and messing with them. So I'll finish the doors and see how it goes. I will say that after doing the floor and the back it does seem a lot quieter.




Here is the truck striped of all of the interior.














After I filled all of the voids with urethane.





Finally after getting all of the Shok Mat down.

 

Can I order some outside of a group buy ? Need enough for a ext can 1st gen

 

Steve - Your coming to my lace next right?

 

i got something wicked in the works for those that missed out.

 

Kind of an old bump, but just got around to installing mine. I received all my other components for my stereo, so decided to start. I only covered my doors and back wall and had about two sheets left. The product is excellent and made a drastic difference. I took a video showing the differences between a deadened and non deadened door and it is pretty drastic.

The only complaint (if any) of the product is the wax/contact paper. It never would come off the deadener clean and would have to use a knife to get the remaining paper off. Not a huge deal, but took some extra time.

 

The adhesive is very sticky,
Try to keep the sheet cold and then peal it. It can be tricky when heating and applying and getting the wax paper off clean if it gets hot

 

That was EXACTLY what I found and it worked like a champ. As long as you do not heat up the material BEFORE you remove the backing, it comes off MUCH easier! I also found that when we were having 80 deg weather that I didn't even need to use a heat gun, the Shok Mat was pliable enough.

I don't even want to know what the backing paper would have been if it was warmer. Was about 40 degrees in my garage on Sunday. I did not heat the mat until I removed the backing paper. Like I said, it was not a big problem, just got annoying when I was trying to get the sheet prepped for install.

 

Wow, that is surprising. I had a problem with it at first, but then I realized if I did not heat the Shok Mat before removing the backing paper it seemed to work better. It was a little tricky if there was a tear in the backing paper or the problem spots for me where at the folds where they folded the Shok Mat for shipping.
Anyway, I got to where it was no problem for me. Maybe you got a bad batch or maybe it was TOO cold????
Ken

 

BAd batch would be very unlikely, shoks Quality control is quite extensive

 

I'm not saying the product was bad, the material is doing the correct job. I am just saying I had issues when it came to removing the wax/backing paper.

 

I got you

 

Is this still open since you haven't hit 20?

 

Group buy closed a long time ago.
I'll be hosting another one shortly.

Next one will be shaped a little differently as well.
Stay tuned

This is the new preorder group buy!!

 

Does anyone ells have any pictures of their installs and people that can write a review on the product. The product really is something special and id love to help more people get this superior product in hand. More people the more group buys the more people can save!

 

I think I figured out why people have not been posting pics. Most of my customer base has not even installed their boxes yet. I fear the same issue with your product. I very there's a ton of people with good intentions to get this done, just have not been able to tackle them.

Might want to offer to help install any local guys. Just so you can snap some pictures.

 

i would totally help anyone out but Not a single person on TW is from my area that got in on it. If people want assistance, and some knowledge i can offer any type of support via video or instant message etc. I'm available pretty much 24.7
