> 3 dayFirst time using this and was very pleased. I made sure to degrease the floor and make sure floor was dry. I liked how the sheets were in manageable sizes and this was so easy to cut when I needed to trim off pieces. I didn’t cover every inch of the floor and figured even if there are small gaps it would be better than before. Very easy to use. One box completely covered the floor of my crew cab.

> 3 dayI installed this in my 1969 Camaro to reduce the noise level while driving. I had already installed new carpet and insulation but it was still loud inside the car while driving. I removed everything and installed the Kilmat on the floor, inside the door panels, and inside the quarter panels. It truly made a huge difference and made me a believer in this product.

> 3 dayBought 2 boxes for a total of 72 sq.ft. Used professional installation service to install the material on all four doors, trunk lid, hood. I installed the remaining material in the trunk myself. Very little change observed on my 2013 Toyota Corolla LE. The installation shop mentioned that the material is too thin, and that they would not recommend it to anyone. For floors and firewall, I decided to use Dynamat Extreme/Hushmat/Soundskins Pro. You get what you pay for. If you really want proper sound deadening, use thicker, highly quality materials. Edit : I installed Soundskins Pro on my floor (including wheel wells) + firewall, and that deadened some of the road noise. Its much more expensive than Kilmat, but it also has acoustic foam in addition to butyl rubber. If you are cost conscious, you could do Kilmat + some closed cell foam insulation like Noico Liner or Siless 157 mil foam (I ordered Siless foam and will be adding it to my doors + trunk + trunk lid to supplement the Kilmat) Edit : Changing from 2 to 4 stars. I recently learnt that just adding butyl layer alone will not get rid of road noise, but will help in dealing with rattles. Most new cars dont rattle noticeably when compared with older trucks/pickups/cars. So, if you install just the butyl layer on the new cars, you probably will be very disappointed even with dynamat/hushmat etc. Adding closed cell foam layer will largely reduce road noise and harshness. I added 15 sq. ft of Siless sound deadening foam to 2 front doors and under hood(also look at Noico liner. If your budget is higher you can get the Second Skins Luxury liner Pro). That alone has dramatically changed how the car feels. I plan to add the foam to the other 2 doors, trunk lid and the trunk sides. I am quite confident that the addition should kill off a lot of road noise for me. A more expensive option, but easier to install option is to go for combination sheets like the SoundSkins Pro that includes both the foam and butyl layer on the same sheet (I got those professionally installed on my floor + firewall)

Greater than one weekIts a good product. Am alternative to the dynamat. I only want to write this review because if the way most people use it is wrong. Its not supposed to cover the entirety of the interior panels. You apply this where there are large flat panels or where a piece of metal makes vibrations or resonates. There are more lightweight materials you can use for full coverage but if you add this everywhere its really just dead weight.

> 3 dayUsed this to deaden some of the noise in my 2023 Polaris Ranger XP. Easy to use and it deadened some of the sound. I would buy again.

> 3 dayThis was really great quality insulation - stripped my car to the frame (removed trim and chairs etc) and adhered it to the frame itself. Easy to cut the pieces down to size with a simple box cutter (though will get gunked up over time with the black stuff inside). Put it down, kinda use a flat surface thingy (I used an old name tag from work) and then went over it with my hands (the heat from your hands helps). Now my car is clean, quiet and warm in this cold front were all having. Highly recommend if youre looking to quiet your car from outside or engine noises (Id say a good 20-30% decrease from before I did this). Very happy with how it turned out.

> 3 dayBeing the first time I have used this I didnt know what to expect. Was it going to be hard to install? Would I hear a sound improvement? I was watching videos of people installing it and they said to let it heat up in the sun. There is a point when it gets a bit to hot and it flops around and is super sticky. I was putting this in the door panels of a 2019 Honda Civic 2dr. Not a lot of room to work with and it wants to stick to every little thing it touches. Not a bad thing but just takes more care to get it in there. I did the bottom 2/3 of the doors. Now when you tap on the doors its just a thud. Overall sound from the stereo was improved. The low notes are now MUCH cleaner! The bass guitar sounds like a bass guitar and not just some humming low note. Same goes for the bass drum. Much more defined and musical. I cant say anything about noise reduction from outside the car yet because I just havent driven the car enough. So for under $50 its worth it in my opinion.
