Dynamatting my 02 OZ lancer

Well, got tired of the road noise, sound of the exhaust, and little rattles that seem to have been growing since I got the car. Took out the seats and gave them a good washing. Took out console, trim, trunk liner, rear speaker shelf, front door panels, etc. Basically gutted the car. (Waited till the wife went out of town so I could bring all this in the house!) Cleaned the parts and the interior of the car.

Picked up two boxes of dynamat extreme and spent a day and a half doing the interior, trunk, front doors, speaker shelf and trunk lid.

Here is the trunk... also did the sides but have the liner installed already in this pic.

So was it worth the effort? Yes. I put new speakers in while I was at it and it is a lot nicer driving the car. While not scientific, I'd say that there is at least a 50% reduction in noise. I still have some left and will take the headliner out soon and do that too.

it's all finished now. like I said, about a 50% reduction in noise from exhaust/engine/road.

You can certainly still hear the exhaust when you accelerate but dont notice the constant drone driving down the freeway.
