It is stock handle I painted myself. Loads of pictures in my interior thread, link in my sig above. I added lots of sound insulation to my car and it got quieter. Squeaks and rattles are gone and tire noice too.

This is what I did to my doors: The doors ended up quite solid. When closed it doesn't sound like bucket of nails anymore but gives solid "thump". I agree the foam insulators needed lots of trimming to fit under door panels.

On sunday we finally installed rest of the audio system. The whole day was plagued with little difficulties but in the end we were succesful and by 11 PM music was playing in my Vette after 6 musicless years! :cool: Hmmm...the face plate on the Blaupunkt hu is so thick it will stick out...

No experience on that yet but it should. The MAD kit I installed has a temperature blocking foil on one side. And obviously the 4mm (0.16") bitume should also delay heat soaking in from floors. I installed both on top of each other so there is quite a bit of insulation before heat gets into...
