I am going to install dynamat, and i was wondering how much i should get. It comes in 25,50, and 100 sq. ft. rolls. I am planing on doing the entire car, and myabe 2 layers in the trunk.

-Thanks, Andy

I would say 50 Andy. Guessing based on 4'x2'x(2) for the passenger floors. Another 10 sq feet for the back, plus a bunch of miscellaneous for the back seat. area. Given the price of the stuff I think 100 is too much and will leave you with lots of extra.

As an aside, if you are looking for any parts, PM wipeout. He had an 'incident' with his car and will likely have lots of parts in the not too distant future.

B4 you buy the Dynamat check out this site: http://www.b-quiet.com/ I have heard good reviews from people who have used their B-Quiet Ultimate product.

Yes. Get B-Quiet... Dynamat is good for a light wallet. If you get enough people to buy some with you, you get discounts for larger quantities.

100sq should be fine. That's 10x10. That'll do behind the door panels, the entire floorpan, under rear seats, basically anywhere you can see. 50sq will not be enough.

Thanks, the B-Quiet Ultimate looks really good! Does anyone know anythinkg about Fatmat? The reviews for it have been mixed.


What color interior does he have?

Wipeout

Black (early) interior. Complete interior, all of it in pretty good shape, save for the usual dash cracks. Trying to get picking up the car from the shop worked out now.

I dont really undersstand what that second sentence means, but if your parting, i might be interested in all the trim pieces. I want to change my brown interior to a black/tan.

Wipeout

Means I'm trying to get the car back from the shop so I can get to work.

To do correctly you will need 122sq ft....ask me....yes, everything. No overlay, match seamed, double doors.

Wow, that is a ton of insulation.

I am glad I rip that **** out of my cars, not put more in!

How much weight does it add doing the whole car? I did my left door panel because the glass and regulator were out to fix the window stops anyway. Just that little piece seemed pretty heavy.

My friend spent ~$300 doing the entire interior of his camaro with Rammat. Added ~50 lbs to his car and took a weekend to do. He completely regrets it as it didn't really help much.

around 25-30lbs. est....But damn if it doesn't make a hell of a difference. Zero road noise, and the 14 speakers sound like a concert hall.

For those concerned about weight, there is little need to strip your car down to nothing for a 50lb savings. There is no way I would make mine uncomfortable to meORappealing to the ladies for 1/1000th of a second.

It is better to shave 30lbs from your waist to lose in car weight, than have one rice-a-fied.

Plus all that old foam insulation you are removing, i would say you would come out about even. I have always wondered about those hardcore racers who will drop $1,000 on fg/cf panels to save 20 pounds. Seems the better solution would be to buy a treadmill.
