I also haven't, but I may put some over the wheel arch inside there.

How did you like kilmat?

I just did the door skins and what a difference it made in how the door sounds and closes.

It is the first brand I have ever used so nothing to compare it to but it is easy to lay out and mad e a huge difference in the door. Plus I really liked the price

yeah ok, I've used others and also decided to recently use kilmat and I was very happy with it so far, especially the price for 80mil. I also bought the aluminum tape to seal the joins and I recommend that, for no reason other than to avoid getting black goo on everything, including my clothes as I continue to work in there

I did. Also covered as much of the wheel well as possible. Made a big difference even without the back half of my interior installed. Worth the effort.

Wheel tubs and trunk floor can make a big difference. As does a good sound barrier on the back seat trunk divider panel. Carpet on the trunk floor too.

I ended up adding a little extra insulation around some critical areas where exhaust heat from headers, intermediate pipes and mufflers are routed as well as the back seat divider.

I found that the extra barrier helped fill in the carpet better.
To punch around bolt holes......take a piece of thin diameter pipe 3/4"-1", grind a bevel around the tubing then hammer at areas that you need to fasten stuff to, makes a nice clean open area.

that looks great! will probably do the same. did you use the spray adhesive to install it?

No I just used some thin 2 way tape to hold it in place. Didn't want to fight with it if I ever have to remove it.

Great Idea!

Paul, is it hard to put it inside the doors? I was under the impression this stuff sticks and there is no chance to peel or move it when it does.
Thanks

No it was not to difficult to get it inside the doors. it is sticky but you can adjust it if needed. I would only peel half the paper backing off until I got it placed where I wanted then would pull the rest once it was set. Once you roll it down I would not want to try to move it but I am really glad I did the doors they close so much nicer.
