Dynamat
Hi ,
Anybody in the Puget Sound area installed this (or its equivalent)? If so, does anyone out here sells the stuff? Your info will be greatly appreciated.

I am going to do the door panels first. And later, if I have some time, I will try the floor and trunk.
Does anyone out in the Eastside area (Redmond) removed the door panel?

Buy peel & seal, it's the same exact thing and is cheaper. You can get it at ABC supply depo or something like that, can't remember the exact name of the place. But it's roofing material, get the kind that is tar with aluminum backing. It's also extremely cheaper than any of that "name brand' bs out there that just has a Brand Name stamp on it.

How heavy is this stuff? The stuff from fatmat or the likes look pretty light. Just curious. I don't want my car smelling like tar/rubber.

I couldn't find 'Peel & Seal' at Home Depot or Lowes. I found something similar, and had a couple of questions:
1. The stuff I found was tar with foil backing, and was really only about 1mm thick total. Is this about the right thickness, or should I look for something else?
2. This same stuff was only in rolls of 6" wide. That seems like it would be a PITA to work with - any chance of finding it 12" - 18" wide?

The stuff my friend and I used was a bit thicker than that.
It was 12" *I think* but might've only been 6", can't remember.
It is not available from normal hardware stores that I've ever seen, we got it from ABC supply co. in Everett.

Just call and make sure they still carry it and you can ask about sizes. It's technically roofing material but is the same stuff.
