Default inexpensive fix for excess tire noise / sport pack.

When Car and Driver did the full test on the 2009 370z car, excess tire noise , especially with the sport package- (what ever) , was quoted , saying thin inner fender liners (to save weight) was the cause. Well 2 dealers that I was getting quotes from were charging for undercoating. Seems many dealers had noise complaints from customers and some found a layer of undercoating in the wheel wells greatly reduced sound levels. Easy to do yourself , not expensive , not much weight added. Just dont block any drain holes. Of course if the noise doesnt bother you , just enjoy your car. Im still doing pricing on a 2009 z, white ,sportpackage, coupe ,auto trans--if you know where in Florida i can get one , new or used, please let me know. Thanks
