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.

Guys,
Check page 3 for more photos and more info as to what I've used.

The material is called "Frost King Duct Isolation" The product was 1/8th in thick and is sticky on one side, and has foil on the other side. I believe there was a link on either page 1 or 2 that takes you to a page where a guy used the same material in his Z06. He came out with the same results that I did.

Also, the Frostking material was only $15 a roll. It took 3 rolls to do under the carpet, in the door panels, the quarter panels, and under the rear seats. I plan on doing a 4th roll which will be dedicated to the firewall (behind the dash) and the trunk. So for $45 you can have your car sound MUCH quieter on the freeways, and won't rattle as much (if you have subs). Definitely worth it in my opinion.
