Ummm. Are you pointing out that you did not use soundproofing?

Are you saying that all the interior did was work as soundproofing

If I'm not mistaken I think he added some speakers there. But I might be wrong. Cause also if you think about it adding speakers doesn't soundproof the MINI, it creates more sound! lol I don't know thats my guess!

no speakers, I think those are the covers to the fuel tank access.

I'm thinking he's just bored.. but even more important, there's really not much sound-deadening in these buggies is there... cool..

Soundproofing = added weight and some of us needs to save weight on the car, when we can't save it on us

I think he meant opposite of sound proofing... meaning his car is going to be LOUD without all that insulation... yes?

Boy.....I didn't the pic would confuse anyone. I have an '03 MC. I was bored so I gutted the whole interior from the front seats back. I wanted to remove the rear airbags also but I didn't want to mess with the headliner at the moment. That's it.

Plus, the whole post was a joke to me since I had just gutted it (that produces louder sound) and there was a post below it that had you soundproof the car.
