the whole kit and kaboodle for sound dampening

Thanks to rreign for the great info, I'm going to hang on to it for any possible future need. I Purchased my Z on December 22, 2009, and have had many mornings where I am standing in my garage at 4:00 am with a cup of coffee, just admiring my 2010 Brilliant Silver with black top -Touring edition 370Z Roadster with Navigation, splash guards and carpeting, with it's 33 miles on the odometer, and anxiously looking forward to the spring when I can get her out on the road. I admit that with all the talk of noise, I'm now expecting it to sound like a freight train! Will I need ear plugs? I'll know in a few months, but are the Z vert's, or Coups for that matter, really THAT noisy? I like all that's about the sports car; noise, stiff ride and etc, and wasn't expecting - nor wanting - to experience the sound quality of a Lincoln, but, now I don't know what to expect. I just have the strong feeling that whatever it ends up being, it's going to be GREAT to me. That's one beautiful automobile, and she's got a GREAT butt!

Has anyone had success applying just dynamat or damplifier over the rear wheel wells? I think the overall noise level is fine, love the exhaust note, but the sound of sand/pebbles banging the rear wheel wells can be kind of annoying. Nissan really cheaped out not putting some kind of plastic cover inside the well. Its just metal in there.

I don't wanna spend $100, spend 2 hours applying the stuff, and add 40 lbs in weight for no difference in acoustic noise.

100% of the inside (minus windows) will be coved in Damplifier Pro.
The floorboard & fender wells will be covered in Luxury Liner Pro.

Thanks much for all the advice, especially to Speedfreak28 who kindly took me under his wing via PMs.

Any followup to this? I'm considering doing the same with the addition of using spectrum in the wheel wells (but I've heard coating the outside of a car can trap moisture next to the metal and bring on premature rusting). I'd really consider using Damplifier, Damplifier Pro, or Damplifier Lite & Luxury Liner to help quell some of the road noise in the car.
