look into dynamat kits for your doors, trunk, and license plate. it is a bit pricey, but works

ebay. You can find off brand that do the same exact thing. I bought dynomat for 100 for 20 sq feet, and for the same price on ebay, I found B-Quiet for 100 for 100 sq feet.

Cover the back of the license plate with a couple layers of duct tape. Really helps out.

Thanks guys. ive looked into dynomat and the others but my biggest prob is the liscense plate. its only held in by top screws so the bottom flaps around. what can i do to to bolt those down? i saw a guy that had led's instead of screws. at pebboys they are cheap but that might be to rice. any thoughts?

Put some kind of damening material behind the plate and screw it back on...there a tons of materials out there. I think Cascade was the brand I used on my ride...of coarse that was way back in '97 so I don't know if they're around still. Google it

Agreed, you wanna know what's a great sound damper as well as a cheap one?



I swear it works, I've done it to my own car. 4-5 layers is just as good as any sort of expensive material.
