Project sound insulation, Determined to get rid of some road noise Options

[GotToyota]

Alright guys, I decided to tackle a project similar to what a member on here did by getting rid of some noise with a carpeting material. I'm attempting the same thing, except with my door panels and rear panels. I went to Home Depot and bought a 6'x9' roll of carpet padding for $30, along with a can of 3M rubber and vinyl spray adhesive. I already tried to deaden the sound a bit by using some extra Dynamat I had, but it didn't help much at all. Spray the door panel on the areas where you will be placing the padding, then rip pieces to the size of your choice and place accordingly. WARNING: You might want to let these panels sit overnight, because the smell isn't too pleasant.

After I get everything finished I'll let you guys know how well this worked. I spent $40 in materials with tax, so it would be a pretty cheap solution to getting rid of some exterior road noise. Not the prettiest solution, but I feel it should help out greatly.

Man, my dad does remodeling on houses and we have a TON of this stuff sitting around! I've never even thought about putting any in my car to deaden the noise. After I got my exterior the way I want it, I was going to start on the interior and my first project there is to kill the noise. I think I'll give this a try tonight or tomorrow, after I take some stuff off of my parts car
