    I used hushmat in my trunk and dynamat on the inside.

    Hushmat was a little cheaper.

    How do they compare in terms of heft, ease of installation (cutting, shaping, etc)?  Does one feel heftier than the other?

    sorry to revive an old topic, but it seems wothwhile with all the previously stated suggestions.
    a question for you guys running such insulation, i had planned on covering the interior (inside doors, roof, floor etc) approx how much weight will i gain by doing such? is it going to be a substantial amount?

    It will definitely add a lot of weight but unless you are going balls out it will be worth it for the sound deadening improvements, especially if you are planning a good audio install. Solid doors, low or no road noise and superb acoustic benefits.

    I'm trying some matting I got from my nephew. It's some type of rubber they use when deadening compressors and such in shops. IMO stuff is a little on the heavy side. It's not sticky backed. But I cut out some for under the back seat. The way its configured I dout it will move. We'll see how it is for heat resistance as the muffs are rite under te back seat. We'll see............

    I used some stuff that I got  on Ebay that worked real good and is relatively inexpensive. I believe there are some other folks on here who have used it also.

    I used 1, but just did the floors, firewall and underneath the back seat. If you're going to do the doors and kickpanels you'll probably need 2 rolls. I put my new headliner in before I found that stuff, and glued a piece of housecarpet padding to the roof. This stuff would work much better for that too. I cut pieces to fit the contours and glued them in with 3M's Super Weatherstrip Adhesive spray. The stuff will conform a little to fit slight contours, but will have to be cut to fit more aggressive contours.

    I did my doors and rear side window areas plus the trunk all the way to the rear seat. i also covered the bottom of the package tray. I used Dynamat Extreme for all of it (just kept looking for stuff on sale until I had enough). I had already installed the carpet and headliner or I would have used it there as well. I am VERY happy with the results and if the interior ever comes out again I will install it in the areas that I missed. Makes it much nicer to cruise IMO.
