Well 99% of the install is done now, still got a couple of things to tidy up but they can be done at a later date

First off i've got to say i'm over the moon with the sound quality of this install, even with compressed mp3 files it really did blow me away the first time i played a tune, i eventually went for a Pioneer single din headunit which is a older unit but was built for sound quality, it also has plenty of inputs (2 usb, 2 auxiliary's, 1 SD card slot, CD player and RDS tuner)

Apart from sound deadening the floor & rear bulkhead i also put sound deadening on every trim piece i removed which i think made a difference as when everything was put back together i had no little rattles or squeaks which can happen or it could of bean the great Holden build quality (maybe not lol)

There are a couple of things i'm not 100% happy with though, the amp install doesn't look very tidy to me and i'm already thinking ways of changing it although it can't be seen as it's behind the drivers seat but i know it's there so will be changed at some stage, also the single din trim panel isn't a 100% match for the rest of the dash but that seems normal as the double din panel also doesn't match

Looks amazing Ian - a real credit to you!
I bet it's a real struggle to choose between listening to tunes and listening to that mighty engine noise!

I think you need to inform paws it will have catastrophic consequences if this continues. .........

Obviously not enough wax on it if it can get a grip like that.

The noise is back, fitted some valves in the exhaust today to replace the blanking plates so now i have the best of both worlds, quiet for early or late starts and loud for the rest of the time

How much difference does the sound deadening make? Is it really expensive ?

Yes it does make a nice difference but at the cost of weight, here's the stuff i used

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1511556789...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

think i used about 2 lots of it but i covered the whole of the floor, rear bulkhead & doors

As for the multi coloured microfiber cloths i don't know as they didn't stay in very long

The use of some detailing products mixed with plenty of microfibre action often statically charges the body work, hence the dust gathering.

Chemical Guys Speed Wipe is supposedly anti static although I haven't tested it myself.

I think your bush needs a trim

On another note use a soft plush towel as a final wipe over then you wont get the dust issue sticking as no static .
