I used 70sq ft of bquite ultimate on my 90 vert and the C4 insulation kit from exotic vette. Definitly a big improvement.

you can also go with edead from elemental designs. They have there stuff on sale for .60 cents a sq ft. Great deal. I would think that 80-100sq ft should have you covered to do the entire car, including doors and other odds and ends. You can always use the extra in the wheel wells

I don't know exactly how much it takes to do the car but you should read this before deciding which brand to use.

I had my whole car dynamated. It cut down on the sound some.

But, switching from the runflats to GS-D3s made an almost equal difference in my opinion.

Mike1944, did you get any special deal on dynamat or did you pay the reg. price, I know that stuff works well just a bit pricey.

DPG, have you used edead, does it work pretty well?

Thanks again guys.

My personal favorite is HushMatt. No need to pre-treat the surfaces, no need for bandaids for all the foil cuts and no need for rollers. By far the easiest to install because it forms easily with your fingertips. Also the sheets do not come all stuck together when you order their bulk packs like the others.

Nope, I think I paid full retail at the stereo store, but they (supposedly) gave me a break on installation.

ive used there liquid deadner with some success, it got rid of a lot of rattles and squeeks. Not as much as the mat stuff would. I havent used their mats yet. I was thinking about getting the mats to layer on top of the liquid stuff when i get the time and funds to do it. I'm pretty sure pentavolvo(greg) has used their stuff and was really happy with it as so were others. They also have different types as well to match what your needs are.
