[QUOTE="JPWynn, post: 6845667, member: 621984"] I did some reading up on deadening this past weekend looking for cheap alternatives for the "hobbiest" car audio guy. Seeing your posts it sounds like money is a big issue for you. Otherwise you'd just do every bit of metal. You should look into the cheap alternatives like a 100 sq. ft roll of FatMat for $130 shipped. You can do your car a couple times over with this. If you want to be cheaper than that then you can goto a roof supply company and buy some of the stuff they put between the wood and shingles on houses. According to the guy in the below link it's the same thing as most of the asphault based deadeners out there. Note this isn't the same as the butyl based stuff, but according to this guy you can get butyl based roof products as well. This covers vibration, not deadening according to this guy. For deadening you need dense material like carpet padding.

Again I was just researching this topic over the weekend. Personally for me I'm leaning towards the $130/Shipped FatMat roll and do my whole car a couple times over. Looks like you're driving a nice 350Z. Is a couple hundy really that much to you? [/QUOTE]
