Who has Dynamat'ed their Cars?
I got bored last night. I knew I had nothing to do when I was headed home from work, so I stopped at my buddies stereo shop and picked up the Big Pack of Xtreme Dynamat. 36sq. feet of it. I'm not sure if I went a little overboard or what, but I ended up using 7 complete pieces and a few inches off the 8th piece.
For some reason I thought that this much Dynamat would be enough to do my entire trunk and the rear quarter pannels. I just wanted to know if anyone here had done it themselves and could remember how much it took to do their cars.

Yeah I bought the B-quiet 50sq feet pack.... covered basically everything I can from the rear seat back including top shelf.... though I added more over the wheel wells. Also used B-quiet L comp over everything to top it off. For the doors I just bought the Dynamat extreme door kit for them. Made a good difference in sound and also made my door heavier than it already is
Made a big difference in sound ( my old tires were really loud back then ) and also improved my stereo.
I didnt wear gloves when I installed so washing my hands afterwards was hell

I was starting to think I was over killing it. I didnt expect to go thru it that fast. I covered just about everything. i put a few pieces on the botton of the rear speaker deck, but I didnt completely cover it. Im holding out doing hte quarter pannels until my Infinity Kappa's come in.
I did see someone's post about the insulation inside the quater pannels. anyone try this? is it worth it? seems like it would be a good idea.

I sound deadned my car using Hushmat Ultra (www.hushmat.com). Its less expensive than Dynamat and it is MUCH EASIER to install. You do not need to clean the surface that you are sticking to and it mouldes easier to the surfaces. I can sell you a 58.1 sqft. bulk kit for $280 plus freight ($399 retail). They also have door kits for $65 plus shipping ($89 retail).
From the website:
HUSHMAT ULTRA
is a pressure-sensitive, constrained-layer damping material which has excellent adhesion to many
difficult to bond substrates such as oily visco-elastic steel, automotive E-coat, primers, finishes, and
many plastics including polypropylene. The aluminum foil constraining layer and specially formulated viscoelastic polymer layer combine to give effective vibration damping and outstanding thermal insulating properties over a wide temperature range (minus 30 to 400 degrees F).
HushMat Ultra, through its proprietary chemistry provides outstanding thermal insulation for hot firewall, trunk floor over the hot exhaust and tunnel applications. Enjoy the cool and quiet ride with HushMat. HushMat Ultra requires no surface cleaning/ preparation or heat guns to install. Installs in 1/2 the time versus other brands.
HushMat Ultra is available in seven (7) vehicle kits in either silver or black coated foil including installation instructions on the back of each kit.
HushMat Ultra is provided in rectangular or square sheets and can be easily hand-cut with scissors or a utility knife for special configurations.
Purchase the economy bulk pack or treat any area of your vehicle with a HushMat kit.
HushMat applications specialists are available to help tailor a HUSHMAT ULTRA part for your specific needs

yes, it does quiet it down quite a bit, you'll notice it immediately. BUT, it doesn't make the G silent. The car is just too damn noisy to start off with, the exhaust and tire noise is just too much for it to overcome. On the other hand, on my Lexus which was a quiet car to start off with ended up being very quiet.
