I showed Soundcoat this info. They will be contacting Northridge and others and come up with a stratgey. What I can tell you is that these are VERY high quality. This is not velcor or snapped in place. They supply for the military and the like, so they answer to a higher authority

Just keep in mind, I'm just a JK'er and the test mule. I'm not an salesman for them or anything.

 

Visit just about any fabric shop and you can pick up enough headliner material in the color of your choice for $30 US to do the average SUV or minivan. A simple visit to any of the big box lumber yards will get ya a 4'x 8' piece of suitable backing material for less than $20 US. A couple cans of heavy duty 3M spray adhesive @ $15 each or less and a roll of heavy duty velcro at the same big box and you will have enough sticky stuff to do several JKs.

Make a template from cardboard for whatever it is you want to cover and you're off to the races.
Partner up with a bud and you could get headliners for less than half what everyone seems to be charging.
None of this stuff is hard, nor does it require special tooling. Point of fact, I just finished redoing the headliner in my '98 XJ... hardest part of the whole job was getting the headliner in and out without damaging the backer...

 

This ain't no fabric over cardboard and craft store glue. This is high end sound absorption materials.

They decided to use Cabfoam M with Black Matte Film + GPDS Damping Sheet. The damping sheet gives the product rigidity so that you don’t have the foam compressing into the contours of the Jeep’s fiberglass top. It’s produced with HP-10 Adhesive which is a simple peel and stick. And it STICKS! It's a permanent installation. The whole thing is about 1" thick which fits perfectly everywhere.

The interior's acoustics are vastly improved. I'll have graphs and sound samples soon as well.

That graph is just for the foam alone, but doesn't include the added affects of the damping sheet. They will produce an updated graph.

 

Yes, they're in the computer and ready for production. I'm around Melville all the time. Come check them out any time. I gotta get a retailer on board fast. I'm not selling these myself! LOL

 

All right, I'm subscribed to this thread. Very interested in these when they go to full production. The quality looks awesome, I was looking at hotheads but I'm not a fan of the fabric look. When you combine practicality with bad ass looks - I'm in.

 

They're ready. Let me see who wants to sell them! I'll post who's selling them as soon as I know.

 

I am in on these as well....Let me know as soon as you know when they are available and where.

 

I just left you a message and let me tell ya if I get to see this in person and it looks just as awesome as it does on photobucket I am taking a set !

 

they are very high quality. I'm traveling today but I'll call u tomorrow so u can see it. I think there's a Jeep in the showroom at Huntington Jeep that has it installed u can look at.

 

I actually called the dealership and they new nothing about it, but as usual the sales people don't really bother to look. But I am looking forward to coming by especially since you are so close to me. What are these selling for any ways for the 2 door ?
