GTMat initial review

[DEpointfive0]

What the hell is going on???
I place my order of 40 square feet of Onyx at like 4PM Thursday and I already have it on Monday!!!

Can't I get a few extra days in my annoying car before I have to rip my exterior plastics out???



Honestly, that's AMAZING service right there!!! Tracie and Blake at GT Sound Control have been awesome.


I am currently upgrading from the 50mil stuff to the 70mil Onyx. The 50 mil was AWESOME, no regrets there, just wanted a bit more sound deadening


To the people at GT Sound Control, they make awesome products without the need to pay for Chip Foose on the other product

Well, I haven't installed it yet, and I do like the precut squares more than I thought I would!
There's no smell, which is good for people who are afraid of the other product (That one has a slight asphalty smell for about a week, then it's 100% gone)

Honestly, the quality is right there with the other product!
But I will update with pics and such once I install it!

I got the GTMat free sample (don't know if it's still available or not). It was rather thin (30-35 mil, IIRC), which made it easy to form. It wasn't too tacky - as long as I hadn't rolled it down I could easily peel it off to relocate. Sound reduction was noticeable - quite an accomplishment considering this was my first install, I didn't have enough to completely cover the shock towers, and it was free (even came with a small roller; all I had to supply was some scissors and labor). If I were to do it again, I'd go with thicker material (50-70 mil sounds about right) and make sure I got enough to cover the shock towers (or start there and leave something else uncovered).
And I'd go with the smaller, pre-cut squares. The free sample was a 3'x3' sheet which was unwieldy at first.

I've never used DynaMat, so can't compare the two. Going by the comments on this site, the GTMat stuff is of the same general quality as DynaMat and less expensive. Most ppl are reporting that service at GTMat is exemplary. I'll be using more GTMat when I do the areas I missed when the free sample ran out.

Edit: Apparently the sample was 50 mil. I'd go with the 70-80 mil stuff.
