As for the inside of the car, I assumed that by doubling up, doing two coats of DEI spray AND using the dei boom mat I would surely notice some difference. None whatsoever. My wife road in the car with me and asked if I had even done anything at all.

DO NOT waste your money on a dei product. I will never be buying any of this again. Might as well throw your money out the window.
I was hoping this would work for you but I wasn't holding my breath after I wasted money on the Dynomat product.

What is the total investment for the Mustang at this point?

You can subtract the cost of the sound "deadening" material since it didn't work. lol

I also am curious, maybe you could keep a counter on the front page about your Total Investment: $$$ amount

The toyota supra MKIV would disagree with you

But this one if I decided to flip it could be for me at least. Only based on the low cost that I bought it for.

So yesterday my deck lid black out panel came in. I don't think it looks quite as good as my wife's mach 1 style panel, but it still looks pretty decent. Hers was also $130, and mine I had a lucky find on ebay, so I can't complain.



So that made me feel a bit better. I think that black out panel just changes the look of the rear so much!


Got my seats fixed up really nice today. You may remember what they looked like before.

PASSENGER SEAT



DRIVER'S SEAT





The red was so dull too. When you looked at the back seat you could tell a huge difference.




Working on filling in the cracks in the leather and vinyl.



And here's how they came out! I'm pretty excited.

PASSENGER SEAT




DRIVER'S SIDE



So shiny red! I love it!




They aren't perfect, but they are loads better than they were. Eventually I want to replace the the two middle leather inserts, with black leather to make the seats two tone.

Nice work on the upholstery. My leather's looking a bit... well... "weathered"... but then, I've 154K on the car so I suppose it's to be expected.
