Default I put some sound deadener in my doors

I've had this crap laying around for about 2 years and got bored enough to get off my skinny *** and put it in. Yes, its eBay fatmat, I've worked woth it before in other cars and have no complaints abouit it. The door speakers sound a bit louder, in fact i didnt realize the amp to my rear speakers had a blown fuse at first. Here's apic of the install on the passenger door, not a pro job by any means but it gets the job done.

I hope I never break a window or anything cause the glue on that stuff is no joke, some stuck to my arm and ripped a nice patch of hair out on removal. Btw, there are two layer. All in all, well worth the effort. And yes, that is a hair dryer you see, lol. My heat gun decided to take a dump, it just takes longer with the hair dryer but it works.

Its $100 plus shipping, they might do free shipping now, they've been around for a while. http://www.fatmat.com/fatmat/bulk/100ft.htm yes, 100 sq. feet for $100, you can get less if you want. And I havent really noticed a difference in road noise, I always jam wherever I go. If you get some, make sure you degrease the surface first. I used diluted simple green, it kills the smell of the glue.

try tapping a screwdriver with a hammer when its on the screw, it might break anything thats holding the screw loose
