Yes? And so what's the verdict? Good, bad, indifferent? Worth the effort?

I've got the EE plate with the thermal insulation. It does help on short trips. On longer trips the difference isn't as dramatic. My cell phone
still got fairly warm sitting in the console on a 300 mile trip last summer.

Officially

(My comment: I have a vert and I hear my (after market ) exhaust and there is a small bit of a drone, but no tire noise (at least that I notice). I've thinking of adding sound deadening and adding a BB Fusion to get the best of both worlds. Convertible guys/gals please chime in. )

Will you be doing a sale on your premium kit as well? I want to decrease road noise and drone from my Akrapovic exhaust. Would you recommend multiple layers of ensolite in the rear hatch/wheel well compartment?
How much do you believe shipping to Sweden is?
Thanks!

If you have a very loud exhaust, nothing will really help that though. My exhaust is obnoxious, but the peal and seal definitely helped.

I have used peel and seal on both my Vettes and truck,great job at a great price.

I used Blockit and then a Moderngen Cargo carpet (ebony with nice logo). Has helped some. Center console next. Going to switch from run-flats when tires are due to be changed. I just bought the car and tires are brand new so that will be awhile.

I used the roll from Lowes. Actually, almost 2 rolls. About $35 I think for both. No tape. Took me about 2 hours. Heat in the tunnel is much better (less heat). Noise is better, but not completely gone, but I did not do under rear fender wells, just rear compartment and tunnel. Very easy to do.
