Hey guys:

I am still working on the completion of my stereo install...Little bit here and there, as time permits. I finally got the whole car back together today, and drove it. it is definitely quieter...kind of like driving in a capsule...I can still hear the engine (although less), and I can still hear road noise, but discernably less. All in all, I call the sound proofing a success...It definitely works, great stuff. I bought three gallons, but only used 2.

Worth the money, but lot's of work...

Ryan

i don't think i'd ever be able to get used to that, my daily driver is a turbo civic with hella road noise/tire noise and hard motor mounts (meaning i have to retighten every single screw every time i drive the car lol) nah u get used to the vibration, its like a massage chair after a while. some daily driver that thing is, no power steering, a/c, power windows, power locks, power or luxury anything. but u gotta admit, 200whp/2000lb is a damn good power to weight ratio. whats best is it looks stock from the outside nobody expects a honda to be fast lol

sorry to threadjack, nobody listen to me i usually just go off topic whenever an idea pops into my head, it sux being ADD haha.

I only bought one gallon for now. Thats all I will have time to lay down anyways. If I want more I figure I can order another gallon later this summer. It isnt THAT hard to remove the interior. I've done it so many times I have the procedure pretty down pat

pick up some peel & seal and put down ~5 layers on the wheel wells. Thats where most of the noise enters. mine got ALOT quieter even after doing the inside ones only.

Yeah, i was hesitant to use that stuff due to the summer South Florida heat, but i guess if i put the liquid stuff over it, i would probably be ok.

yeah im sure youll be alright...i find that when its hot it sticks better. Apply when its hot and it will stay on when its hot. Also, scrub up with some coarse sand paper to give it places to bite into. Remember...mat first, paint on top. Mat wont stick to the paint on stuff.
