Re: stopping rattles?
id say trunk, door panels... i mean the stuff is expensive, but theres not that much in our cars to cover, granted your not laying it down under the carpet.. the trunk under the carpet and along the sides and the doors.. i would probably do the sail panels if it was me also

Re: stopping rattles?
try www.secondskinaudio.com they have great products... there is an online sound deadening showdown somewhere.... Ah... here http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/
Just today a friend and I began a very thorough job of sound deadening my Formula... No Hatch, cuz it's a Notchback and stock struts don't work (another weekend project...)
He and I are working Tue and Wed this week on just the sound deadening stuff...
I bought my stuff from Second Skin Audio, great products and customer service...

Re: stopping rattles?
a cheap alternative is roofing mat at a local hardware store...its basically the same thing... I'm thinking of emptying out in the hatch area (spare tire, loose nuts bolts) and tightening things up before I try any sort of sound deadner... that stuff is pretty heavy...

Re: stopping rattles?
Ive found that the loudest rattle on my Camaro is from loose bolts and that stupid license plate. Not sure how to fix the latter, but unless you're going with a show quality high-powered crazy setup you should be fine going through and tightening all those bolts should help a lot...

Re: stopping rattles?
From Second Skin Audio...
The majority of reducible noise in any car is structure borne, meaning it comes from vibrations, like a wind chime. Unlike wind chimes however, our cars are not tuned to any specific musical frequency, so what we end up hearing is the road noise, engine rumble and exhaust drone.
Stopping the vibrations on your cars metal panels is much like stopping a noisy wind chime with your hand. Once the vibrations stop, the noise stops.
Traditional noise mats are mostly inefficient mass loaders; heavy & foul smelling tar boards that work by adding weight to the cars metal to quiet it down.
Damplifier Pro is not a mass loader. It is a constraint layer damper that converts the vibrational energy in to low level heat. This conversion of energy makes it 300% more efficient than mass loaders while weighing much less.
--------------------------
Here are some more pics...
At first doesn't look like much progress... we did do the rear seats, under the carpet.. we did the rear side pillars, inside out... which took time cuz of all the shapes / pieces....
Inside the rear pillar, backside of outer wall and inner wheel well...
Inside hole, facing the front... that's the vent you see when you open your door, from the indside...
I purchased 80 sqf of stuff and I only have about 4 sheet left... need to do the whole floor minus rear seats and both doors and roof, probably won't need 80, but half or so... I also need the proper tools to remove the seat belts!?!?!?
My friend and I have put "dynomat" in a car, but nothing like this madness... 2 days and I'd say we're more than half done... the completed area is the most difficult... know to go look for a pot of gold
