Finished up the Dynamat project, thoughts?, Includes semi-big pics Options

[GotToyota]

I finished up my small Dynamat project today after school. I did my doors a few weeks ago, as well as parts of my hatch, but went ahead and got some more to finish it up.



The doors were already finished, but I went back and double-layered some parts that really needed it.



Same goes for the other door.



And what I'm most proud of, that did the most, in my opinion, was the door panels. Both were the same so I didn't bother to take pics of both.

I didn't catch a pic of the hatch, I forgot I needed to take a picture as it was already re-assembled. But I'd like thoughts on how I placed the Dynamat and such. It sounds fantastic and almost all road noise for the most part is gone and is much quieter on the highway.

but as far as i understood, dynamat needs to be placed all over, not in pieces,, if my thinking is correct,,,, you messed up, road noise not only comes through the holes of the door panel. it comes through all the entire panel,
correct me if i am wrong

nah you dont need to place the entire pannel...but if you look again he patched up the inner pannel and the inside of his outer pannel, the whole door pannel is pretty much covered. Now the boot, the floor, the roof, the firewall.....etc

yes, you are correct...BUT the floor is awsome to do in big peices, and if you want to do multiple layers its nice if you do them the other way so firs - than | then - and that works best.... technically it doesn't weigh much, but look at our car...look how much it weighs... 20 lbs is always a lot....

the panels are ok to do in peices, and quite frankly its benefitial.... you really dont need to put dynamat downn where it doesnt rattle or need it (technically speaking)

exactly. save the stuff for the floor and the roof where the parts aren't shaped too much... and the firewall. if you have an exhaust setup, the trunk is a noise magnet.
