> 3 dayI completely covered the floor and cargo area of my c5 corvette. It cuts way down on road noise a fiberglass car will produce. Virtually eliminated rattles and vibration. Greatly reduced the amount of heat from the torque tube in drivers compartment. Definitely improved the sound of the Bose system especially the sub

> 3 dayI have an old car from the 70’s and it has the normal rattles and such, well it did. I used this in my trunk and in my dash. I’ll be doing more of the car later. My main problem was in the dash, and that is all gone. My subs seem like they have more bass too. I’ll end up doing my doors and package tray with this and I expect to have extra, so I think it was a good purchase. I could smell it a little, but not bad. I sprayed it with some plastidip in areas that I thought might get more heat and maybe smell a little more in the summer. I’m not concerned however because once it has out gassed, it would not be an issue anyway. Really good stuff.

> 3 dayI almost went the poor mans way and bought Frost King Foam Duct Insulation, but then I saw this Kilmat sound deadening was about the same price as the Duct Insulation. Using prime, I ordered and received the package the same day. I found it was easier to work with this material with my bare hands as using gloves the adhesive stuck to the gloves making it difficult to install - once I took the gloves off it was much easier to work with the material. I also found it to be easier to use a good pair of scissors instead of a straight edge razor - the material is thin enough to use scissors. It was a cold day outside and when the temp dropped below about 42 degrees the kilmat material became much harder, so recommend installing on a day between 50-70 degrees outside. Also, the foil liner wasnt too sharp, I didnt have to worry too much about cutting myself using my bare hands. As far as it doing its job as a sound deadening material? I installed these in a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I can definitely tell a difference on the road noise, especially on the highway. Its probably a good 25% quieter, if not more. My doors feel heaver, have a nice THUNK when I shut them, and sound solid when I tap the doors with my knuckles. I replaced my speakers in my doors at the same time and I am very happy with the results - no rattles and great sound. I did two layers - one on the outside panel and one on the inside panel - maybe overkill, but I received 50 square feet, which was enough to do all four of my doors doing double layers. This is A+ material.

> 3 dayJust started applying and had to review! I have used other brands that cost more and they kilmat is equal in quality for the thickness lvl. Easy to apply, and now no tinny sound from my 54 year old car. I just hope they don raise the price like the other companies!

> 3 dayIve installed in my 87 s10 blazer, made a huge difference from what It had before. Took the vibrations out and did quite down a bit. Which is why i also installed in my 82 c10, I installed with a closed cell foam and i feel this combination worked the best . for a truck with a blown 383 3inch straight thru turn down exhaust set up , it made a big difference. Just recently did half my new silverado , definitely a must if youre doing any audio. Plan on installing closed cell foam also. Also sticks well so far, after you roll it I dont expect it to come back off easily.

> 3 dayThe stuff is a must if you have a van. My van is now a quiet as any car I have driven. I tried several brands and Kilmat was by far the easiest to install.

> 3 dayI insultate the entire interior of my vintage VW Bus while restoring it and fell in love with this stuff. Easy to cut to size, GREAT adhesion and noise dampening. One NOTE.... It is REALLY important to wipe down the paint surface with a quality Wax and Grease Remover before you apply this product to ensure that it will stick well and permanently. Go Slo, Measure and cut carefully, clean, and apply, then use a separate specialty Seam tape to seal all the seams between pieces. Have Fun!!

> 3 dayThe Adhesion works very good. The noise canceling I would say has dropped the decimals being picked up from outside of the car and I would say holds in more bass. It’s almost like insulating your car lol, this item requires you to take most of the interior out of your car to install this item. Overall rating 5/5 I would highly recommend this item for noise cancellation.

> 3 dayWear gloves. Very sharp edges will cut you.. not may, but will. Easy to work with, very malleable. Not so sure it improves the sound insulation that well, but adequate.
