[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8835344, member: 674149"] I did my entire vehicle with dynamat, and: 1. The roof asphalt garbage is not made for your vehicle. Not only does it stink, it doesn't last, or work as well. 2. I wouldn't buy any specific vehicle kit unless the price is right inline. I have only worked with dynamat, but it is incredibly simple to use. As long as you don't leave it outside in the cold it shapes and cuts very easily. On concave (curved like a bowl) corners, you just cut up the bend, and double it up. You can cut it with scissors, or a blade/boxcutter, and shape it before removing the sticky backing. The only tool you want is the roller which costs about $5. If the entire job of the door panel removal, speaker removal, installing, takes an hour, then cutting yourself probably adds 2-5 minutes. You can decide if it's worth it, (probably not). 3. If your tire noise is the biggest issue, then the doors might not be what you want to do. The sound deadener is a sound barrier. Your doors are not between you and your tires. Your doors are best at blocking out the noise from OTHER vehicles. When I did my entire pickup cab, doing the floor and the back wall is what quieted the noise down from my own vehicle. That is what helped quiet down my exhaust, engine, tires, road noise from entering my vehicle. Doors are usually the first thing for most people, but most people's priority is not their own tire noise. [/QUOTE]
