[QUOTE=JARblue;2182932]Don't expect to NOT hear pebbles bouncing up in your wheel well or anything. It seems to be most effective against general road noise vibrating through the tires. Stuff that bounces up underneath the car definitely sounds more muted, though. I only have two short drives with the install so far, so I will have a better idea after a few days. But right now, it is better than I imagined

There are before videos, so I'm going to try to do a comparison after video that mimics the before one as close as possible. The videos include an audio (stock, unfortunately) test while parked and a driving test accelerating to and cruising @ 70 mph. I just wish we had more video of varying road surfaces - the road we were on was pretty quiet so I'm not sure how much difference there will be. I used a simple decibel app on my iPhone, so we'll have to use the same method for comparison. I didn't get my hands on a nice SpL meter until this weekend after I was half way done with the install, but I will use it for a final result dB reading even if it doesn't have a before reading to compare.

Also, while I am impressed with the hatch sound now, I think that doing the doors will be even more noticeable since I sit a lot closer to them. I can't say for sure how the overall dB readings would change. I am definitely planning to do the doors, but I'll have to pick up some more GT Mat Onyx. The hatch took all 18 squares that I had.

First of all, Nice Job Like you, did the hatch and I also did the doors. Biggest difference in doors for me is hearing my speakers better, as I just got reg sound system that comes w/spt pkg.

Washed, clay bar & waxed Z & GTI. Time for a beer

I was able to give her a quick wash yesterday and am planning on finally using my Porter Cable this upcoming weekend

I watched a few videos on Youtube and feel confident that I should know what I'm doing

Put my coilovers on yesterday but ran short on time on adjustment.
Heres how it sat after I finished yesterday


Heres how it sat originally when I first installed




BUT! This is the beast I face when I come home every night.....


I've raised it up and will snap more shots after I wash her tonight

eh....not sold on the look, but better than 4" wide ones that really clash with the color. To each their own and if you like it, enjoy it!

You did such a nice job on that! Thanks for the info too. I will do a little more homework on this and probably do the hatch and doors as well as my issues are all road noise more so than rocks and such.

JARblue

Talk to GT Mat or Ms. Pintsize here on the forum. She'll give you a good price

Road noise was my goal, too. Texas is a big place and it takes a while to get somewhere. It'll be nice to have the car somewhat quiet while cruising 80 mph with the wife, which means I can't have the windows down.

I really like the thinner outer lines as it follows the body lines really nicely and is subtle. The two on the inside I would personally pass on but the car looks good and is unique!
