Just finished doing the main area behind the seat, and the parcel tray.. But I noticed the area in behind the wheel wells, extendends all the way up to to door jam..

The nhra rules say that because I have a cell in my trunk it must be separated from the passenger compartment.. How do you seal these areas with out modifying the car?

The interior panels do separate the two compartments, Is that enough.. It is impossible to completly seal those area because of the windows (thats where they roll down)

If anyone has pics.. or tips It would help alot..
