Is that the sound-absorbing tar? I think it is. Don't remove it, the car will sound like a tin can. You can paint over it.

it's a black tar like substance.. i think its called.. tar. Some people like a loud car, i couldn't stand driving in a quite car.. yawn

if you want to remove it, use dry ice and a scrapper. Search, plenty of stripped car threads

Or if you live in a colder climate, just leave it outside on a freezing night, then go after it with a paint scraper. That ish is heavy. I pulled the tar out of just under the driver's and passenger's seats and behind them on my coupe, and it was heavy.... didn't weigh it, but it felt like 15 lbs or so. That stuff is all over the bottom of the car, too.

Oh... I believe it's called sound deadening tar.
