Undercoating
Did some stuff today. I bought 2 cans of undercoating spray in an effort to reduce a bit of noise in the cabin. I simply couldn't believe the amount of built up dirt in there. 10 years of road grime/dirt and caked on like WHOA. Nothing a wire wheel couldn't handle and shortly after a quick blast with some air, it was ready for sprayin. Results weren't huge, but certainly noticeable. I can hear the tranny noise way more now 
At the very least, it looks REAL damn good in there. I also painted the rear clappers to match the fronts I did last year but was too lazy to do all 4. They are just simple black and boring and I didnt remember to take photos. It looks real clean and nice in there. I also picked up more wheel paint since the wheels are looking mighty rough now and getting a dingy yellowish tinge. I've thought about powdercoat, but it costs a ton and I'd need a spare set of wheels since I dont have a daily. Maybe next time.

Looks really good! I have the same issue with MY01 GPW S2000 as well. What did you use to spray thy wheel wells? I like the finish. Its like a flat/satin black almost.

A little. Nothing I'd rave about though. I think most of my noise comes through the floor and of course the trans tunnel where "ol' buzzy" resides. If I replaced the clutch and added sound dampening under the carpet, I'd bet it would be a huge improvement. Im also getting a lot of tire roar with my ES100s. Never buying those again for sure. Back to RE760s for me.
