Steve's CUSTOM porsche RSR
With a custom creation from world famous West Coast Customs, comes the quality addition of Second Skin products to solve the sound and heat issues. This Porsche RSR has truly been one of the most ambitious projects we have taken on with West Coast Customs. Over the span of three years, they have completely restored it to mint specification while still giving it the classic west coast customs treatment. Every nut and bolt has been hand picked in order to keep this build authentic to its original Porsche heritage. They also want to give a huge shoutout to Dixxon Flannel Co. for helping us breathe new life into the car by creating a one of a kind interior from the very fabric they use to make their awesome clothing. We hope you enjoy the full build process, we have plenty of other awesome projects coming soon!

Dave's porsche 911 turbo build
When you have a turbo and exhaust upgrades, it takes mass loaded vinyl to solve the sound issues. Dave ordered the Mid Sized Car Build Package with 55 sq ft of Damplifier Pro and 45 sq ft of Luxury Liner Pro. Dave also got a sheet of Heat Wave Pro sheet for thermal insulation on the ceiling. After skinning the entire floor, doors, and ceiling with Damplifier Pro (about 60% coverage), Dave installed the Luxury Liner Pro on the floor and back wall at 100% coverage. To finish up, he put the Heat Wave Pro on the ceiling. It only took about 12 sqft to completely cover the Damplifier Pro and add a good amount of insulation above the headliner.
Straight from Dave: "Second Skin products are the best! They are easy to use, ship fast, and keep the car very quiet and cool! We have used other products in the past but now we use Second Skin exclusively! Ma halo Second Skin."
