So I just finished with the sound deadening of my car. Wow what a difference! The reason I created this thread is to give anyone who is thinking about deadening doors or floor a new suggestion. A friend had told me about a product called peal and seal. It is a cheap alternative to dynamat. Its easily sourced at Lowes or depot (aluminum backed roof flashing) and it does the trick for 3.8% less cost! $16.00 for 8"x25' roll. Dynamat is about $58.00 for the same square footage. I was a bit leery at first as it seems a little ricer but my friend had it in his car "66 mustang" for the past 3 years with no issues at all.

When I as looking at the different options it seemed to come down to a choice between asphalt based and rubber based versions. In my mind I pictured my car sitting in the sun on a hot summer day with the windows rolled up and I imagined what kind of out gassing would be going on and how it was going to smell when I opened the door to climb in. I went with the rubber over the asphalt. Basically the same stuff though. Mine is made for wrapping HVAC vents.
"ricer" ='s one who does random modifications to their car just to do them... Example's would be stick on air scoops or fart can exhausts that have no value other than noise. Typically they drive foreign automobiles...
Bob I had the same fear and asked that same question, the proof for me was a few posters on other threads that live out west and down south (Florida) that had no issues. I will do a long term post at the end of the summer to see how it holds up.
LOL! First time in my life that I've seen urban dictionary referenced as a source.

The only issue I had was after laying the new carpet down I had a hell of a time getting the back seat bottom in. Other than that the stuff is easy to work with. I didn't line the inside of the doors because I read where sometimes it didn't stick very well and sort of peeled off and ended up in a pile in the bottom. I guess sometimes it doesn't work very well vertically unless there is something to hold it there like an interior panel. The only thing that I may go back and do something with is you can see it in between the gap in the top and bottom rear seat when it's folded down. Looks kind of funky. Might have to take some black spray paint to it so its not so noticeable.
That peel and stick was being discussed a lot when I did my car. I went to Home Depot to get some, no luck, they told me it isn't in their Canadian stores. I had to get the Dynamat. Only problem I had with the sound deadening was if I had to remove a screw out of the floor such as a seat screw of a stick shift molding screw the black goo caught the carpet threads and started to unwind the carpet.
Nice Goose!! Wouldnt have guessed that the stuff you get from Lowes would work very good! I Love urban dictionary!! Many wonderful and colorful examples in there...lol
