In the late 1940?s Ferdinand Porsche decided there was need for speed in a small platform! His Dad?s designed and development of the Volkswagen Beetle provided the genealogy and experience for Jr. to take on this challenge. The concept of the 356 was born ? more horsepower in a light small car! The first 356 was road certified in Austria, June of 1948 and the rest was history. Early aluminum bodies transformed to steel and the Porsche legacy began. Parts historically shared with VW moved to Porsche unique parts. At no point was noise and comfort a part of the design concept. Exceptional handling, aerodynamics and power were Job 1. These attributes clash with noise and comfort. The steel body, low to the ground clearance and high horsepower generate significant interior noise and also heat. This creates an uncomfortable driving and passenger experience. It is virtually impossible to speak on a cell phone or hold a conversation without yelling. HushMat lowers this noise floor and heat over 50 percent. HushMats light weight sound deadening and thermal insulation material is designed to bond to the floor pan, firewall, tunnel, doors, roof and also the forward trunk. HushMat?s self-adhesive material forms and molds to the uneven sheet metal insulates 100 percent of the vehicle. HushMat has done the extensive work to measure and package pre-sized kits for your 356. HushMat trims easily with household scissors or a box knife. If you have modified any section of the original sheet metal Hushmat can be easily trimmed to fit. HushMat is available in either Stealth Black foil or Silver Aluminum foil. Both work and perform exactly the same.
