Thumbs up Gt Mat Review

Review

So I received my trial piece a few months back. I decided to try it out this past week on a customers car. Pulling it out of the box the first thing I noticed is the mat is very light compared to others I have used with the equal size. So I got to work installing half inside of the product on one of the kick panel areas. Very similar stickiness to other products I have used in the past. I than installed Dynamat Xtreme on the other area. I than tested how dense the area by knocking on them. The Xtreme seems to be more dense than the GT Mat in absorbing sound. The GT mat did provide a better barrier than having nothing against sound. I than checked the thickness of GT Mat to Xtreme. The Xtreme was once again much thicker than the GT Mat.

Conclusion GT mat IMO is a good buy for someone looking to remove some road noise without adding a ton of weight to their car like the others offer. As a user of multiple name brand dampening products over the years i have not once had an issue with any of them melting off the panel. I am in no way saying GT mat is a bad product! I will say if your looking to kill a lot of road noise this will do the job but because it's density is much less than others, it is not as effective.

Will I use their product again? Absolutely, I am always looking for products to recommend to my customers. In the case that someone wants their panels to be more solid without adding a lot of weight, this is probably what I will use.
