Default Hard Sheed inside Trunk.

I hope people know what I mean. Theres a somekind of hard sheets on inside a trunk.
I believe its for sound proofing by factory but I do want to peel or take it off. How could
this be done? It seems like sticking very well...

you have to buy some dry ice and let it sit on top for a while. It gets brittle enough to flake off with some persuasion from a flathead screwdriver or a putty knife.

Other than that, you might want to try some industrial solvent. Perhaps aircraft paint remover spray (not sure about that one). Of course be sure to mask off everything else if you do that.

I'm guessing weight savings? That stuff starts to add up, but there are other things I'd do before that if I was a hardcore racer. Like removing the soft top and the passenger seat, cruise control, a/c, and other things. Scraping the sound deadening stuff out of the trunk should be last.

Hmm, I don't recall seeing and hard sheets on the inside of my trunk. Take the carpet stuff out, and you have bare metal. Where the spare goes, there's some soft foam stuff, like carpet pad. But that's it.

There's sound deadening material kinda like dynamat there. Except they put it on before they paint so it's yellow. If you take the carpet off and poke at the trunk with a screwdriver, you can see that it's kinda tar like and sticky.
