Not sure if this has been posted before or not, but it looks like XV Motorsports sells kits to hush mat our cars. Check out the link.

I was looking at those the other day. I think they are not pre cut for each area of the car that you need it. They just figured out the right amount of hush mat for each area. I would like to try some but It will be awhile before I start taking apart the interior. I really want to get rid of the rattle in my doors. every time you shut the door it sounds like 4 pieces of metal slapping each other. :dunno:

I can't attest to the comparative quality etc. but there are MUCH more affordable products for the purpose. Probably enough in this kit to do most all you would need.

That stinger stuff is listed as 1/4 inch carpeted material. Much different from the typical hushmat or dynamat you normally see. Dynamat does make a carpet mat like this one for double the price. Their website also shows the peel and stick type as well. Would liek to hear some reviews on it. I have two cars to do. After driving Mike Tylers car that had dynamat type material inside I really like the results in a musclecar. Would be nice to get the same results at half the price.

I can order here cheaper but shipping would offset most of the savings

Im using dynamat because if it's good enough for the purevision cars that Steve storpe puts out it's good enough for me.. I was gonna use hush mat but it is more pricy

I would look at the window rollers and tracks.  Thats really the only thing in the doors that could be rattling.  YO has a hugely expensive kit, but I've been looking around for sites where you could buy the parts individually.  I've found a couple, but need to make sure they are the correct parts before buying them.
