Ive never used it but if its from JC Whitney it has to be quality stuff... ... ...seriously it looks pretty decent but I did my car's interior with one roll of reflectix for $16. Granted I also did Dynamat and the Whitney stuff is suppose to be a sound deadener too but I doubt its as good as Dynamat either.

Key words "natural fibers". Probably some kind of jute. Probably better than nothing, but there are better products out there. Search the forums.

Thanks to all for info and advice. Have not made my mind up on which materials to use. When I do, how many square feet of material is needed to do the front & rear areas.

There have been a few psots recently that you should just go buy the stuff shown in the last post from Home Depot, Menards or Lowes. I looked at this stuff and I agree. It is foil face both sides with an insuclator in the middle. It is $24 a roll and it blocks heat and deadens sound I am going to use it. It comes in various widths and one roll will do an entire car. That stuff just for cars is very expensive and the way I see it the Vette didn't come with it to start so I can only help it. From what I am reading the results are just as good as the special car insualtion.
