+1 on second skin. Screw dynamat. Get damplifier pro.

is it really that much better? or is it because damplifier pro is cheaper than current dynamat pricing and i guess more cost effective?

Trust me... cost usually doesn't come up when I deal with people. So take it as it is better, and cheaper

yeah, trunk pack was good enough for my entire trunk if you pre-plan your cutouts to eliminate waste.

Also don't waste money on the roller or cutter from them. You can pick up a roller and box cutter for like $1-2 each at osh or home depot.

usually he just tosses them in for a few bucks, and it is more convenient than running out to home depot don't you think?

how many times did you get something in the mail and was like damn, I have to run out to the store to finish it up? a few times for me...

anyways I never use the roller, I just grab an oven mit or a rag and do it, seems to work better or just as good as the roller.

Well, he's charging $9 for the roller and $9 for the cutter, and bumps up shipping costs to compensate for the added weight....That's like nearly a quarter the cost of the trunk pack. If you've got a hookup and he tosses them in for a couple bucks, then yeah, of course go for it. Otherwise, I'd rather save the ~$18 and schedule a stop at Home Depot during the week it takes to ship and pick them up. *shrug*

have you tried calling him Mr. Ant? might get the gouging down to $8 each.
