Dynamatted my doors, And foamed the back seat Options

[Legit94GT]

So i am entering a sound comp on saturday and figure i could use a good friday project so i set out to sound deaden my car a little bit, and dnyamat my doors... Lets just say it took alot longer than i thought like 11 hours:( but it sounds alot quiter on the road and my bass hits sounds alot cleaner now. I hardly had any rattle before, but now there is none;)

I used the little bit of extra i had to work on the trunk, see for the coupe we have a trunk lid, which makes a lot of rattle, this is because the outer skin hits the inner sub frame, so i pain stakingly cut a million pieces to place between the outer skin and the inner sub frame so that the lid wouldn't be able to rattle. It worked out great;) no the only rattle coming from my car at all is the trunk lid itself shaking on my car lol. I could adjust that to pull it down tighter, but that will wear out my seals faster

anyway here are some pics of everything for you. I was very careful when i laid the foam down to now cover up anything important.

Very nice. I'm going to do what you did under the seats. I have plenty left from when I did mine, this gives me some good ideas.

I did the opposite of what you did on the door and trunk lid of mine. I did a "solid" mat on the trunk and patches on the door. Your work looks good though.

YAY! It actually works, though. I'm questioning the foam inside the doors though, wouldn't that black the path/track of the window?

No it won't. As long as the foam stays to the outside of the car you wont have any problems:) I was worried about that as well which is why i didnt put it over the bar that runs along the door, as long as it is behind that you will be fine.

With the dynamat however i had to leave the paper backing on it in some parts so that the door and door lock wires wouldn't get stuck.

The real concern with the padding inside the door shell is water. Dynamat Xtreme is closed-cell foam (basically waterproof), so it functions just as well or better than the stock plastic sheet moisture barrier, but when water enters the door is runs between the inner and outer metal panels.

That's just asking for mold and mildew, not to mention greatly increasing your chances of rust.

I have to say, however, the sixth-gen doors are much cleaner in terms of wiring compared to my fifth-gen. I've got wires running all over the place along both sides of the inner door panel, makes laying down a continuous sheet much more difficult.
