RisingPower Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 To the trunk and rear wheel wells, reasonable improvement on road noise and general deadness Now, I was thinking either second skin luxury liner pro on top of the tyre cover or actually on the rear trunk, not quite sure where is best but I'm guessing it may be a bit heavy for the tyre cover. Which got me thinking, presumably, carpet is a pretty good barrier for sound, since the standard boot mat is thin as anything, what about lying some carpet underneath it? Seen mention that felt underlay is good, but which do you guys reckon is worth trying more? Bit of underlay underneath the z boot mat or thicker carpet? Or maybe even both...

Stew Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 A nice bit of amtico with a border might look nice...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It would serve 2 purposes, you want a new interior AND you want sound deadening.... simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
