Greater than one weekCovered a truck floor and back wall. Went on easy and made a noticeable difference in interior noise when knocking on panels. Project isnt drivable yet, so I cant comment on driving noise. Happy so far

> 3 dayI used this in conjunction with egg crate foam material. This inexpensive box went a long way for my Crosstrek project. The car had ridiculous amounts of road noise, could barely hear voices on the stereo. I good roller helps for application. You can cut this stuff to fit anywhere you can reach. I used the egg shell for harder to reach areas. I only applied the mat to metal as it was the sturdiest part of the car. If you ever have to take this stuff off its going to be one hell of a mess. Sticky tar/rubber base but the foil keeps it covered. I also made some non stick pads for the floor mats that work well. While I didnt take measurements with a db meter I did only do my four doors first and kept hearing weird car noises....I didnt do the hatchback. When I did that and added the floor mats my car was as quiet as could be. No ear fatigue from road noise and my stereo sounds great(with some other tweaks). This is subjective but I find that every toyota Ive owned has a pretty quite interior. My Crosstrek is now on the level and maybe a bit better than that. I can listen to the radio at a low volume and still hear.

Greater than one weekThis product is very easy to install and adheres very well. My car has about 1/2 the road noise it did before. Its also one of the least expensive products that actually does what it says. Very happy with the purchase.

> 3 dayI have never used sound deadening mats, but I customize my cars A LOT. The price of this product is way lower than the leading brands but the quality is fantastic. I thought I would be getting a lower quality alternative- side by side it looks and feels like the big name brands. You will notice how heavy the stuff is from the box, which wasnt light nor fluffy. I especially liked the grid system for easy and precise cutting on the foil side. Once I measured and cut, install was a breeze. In fact, I had to re position a few pieces, the glue had no problem adhering even with a couple of times off and on. I did the door panels on my Tesla, which was already pretty quiet. It seems quieter but unfortunately that is seat of the pants, not scientific. I didnt take before and after readings. I did put some behind the speaker in my Ram truck and sound DEFINITELY comes out louder than before, with less loss behind the speaker. 50 square feet is more than enough to do a vehicle completely. The instructions recommend using gloves- I didnt and found no ill effects or reduced adhesion.

> 3 dayThe mats were very easy to cut up and install inside the interior of my car. Road noises sound muffled which is very nice and vibrations from the subwoofers have less rattle which adds thump and tonality to the music. This stuff is really great and idk if it’s just me but I love the smell of the adhesive, it made installing this very pleasant :)

> 3 dayThis stuff is legit. Just as good as the big box names and a fraction of the cost. Goes on easy. Smoothes put nicely and quick. Very easy to work with does what it says it does. One box goes a long way while doing a jeep wrangler. Only used about a quarter of the box so far and have gotten the rear cargo area floor done and the passenger front floor pan. Highly recommended. Just be sure to get the three size install rollers and it will make your life easier.

UhhhhOkk...
> 3 day***update*** I updated rating from 1 star to 4. The smell was faint but did seem to go away. Car is in garage and hasnt been exposed to sunlight yet, but hoping there is no smell. So based upon reviews I decided to purchase the 50 mil x 50 sf package. My main concern prior to purchasing was a chemical / asphalt smell, and most people stated there was zero smell. Well, thats not true at all, there is an asphalt smell. I havent even peeled the liner off and I can smell asphalt coming off the sheets. After spending hours scraping off the old sound deadener and prepping the panels, do I really want to stick on this stuff? Also had a bad experience in the past using Fatmat about 10yrs ago, and that smell never entirely went away and was extremely strong after installation and actually gave me headaches for weeks. That purchase was also made based upon price. So now, trying to decide if I should send this back or not. Im leaning towards sending back, I cant deal with that situation again Id rather just spend a little more and get a real true high quality Butyl product instead of asphalt. You get what you pay for....

> 3 dayGreat stuff. Easy to apply and was able to cut easily. Be careful when applying with your hands. I forgot how sharp the foil can get and sliced my finger.
