Sound Deadener Give Away - Second Skin Forum Vendor

[sig11]

I took my first real drive today. I had hoped to borrow an SPL meter for before/after but Sunday's weather was so good I just jumped in. I think it knocked down the tire noise a lot and helped with the drone in high gears/low RPMs that the FI exhaust produces.

I'm sorry about the delays I've been really busy this week with work.

+1 comeon: free stuff = writeup!

3.17.10: I ordered second skin materials due to this promotion. Second Skin - it worked & I'll be posting info too!

Even though I will be taking my car to the track occasionally, I still want to make it as quiet as possible. I am really thinking about adding some Second Skin sound Deadening stuff.
Waiting for some real reviews to see if it's worth while...

The deadline from the vendor was six weeks after receiving the product. I received the product on 3/1. I'll have my writeup done by the deadline, sooner if I can find the time. As much as I love hearing my new intake and exhaust, the road/tire noise gets a little old on my 60 mile roundtrip daily commute (especially since I switched back to my 255/295 summer tires a week or so ago). I'm looking forward to doing this install and posting the results.

One thing I'll mention in advance of my install/review is that I had an issue with how much my credit card was charged (shipping was not included in the giveaway and I bought a few extras to facilitate the install). A simple email to ANT from Second Skin was all it took to resolve the issue. GREAT customer service so far.

Sorry! I've been slammed with work the last week.

I still haven't done my install due to work. Though I am planning on doing it this weekend as long as things go as planned. I was kind of hoping someone else would have a writeup before I did it, since I've never done sound deadening before, so this will be interesting!

It is really not that difficult.
The tiles will go mostly on the floor, in the hatch, and on the wheel wells and quarter panels, spread out evenly.
The Luxury Liner Pro will go on top of the tiles (glued down with contact adhesive) on the quarter panels and wheel wells, with some on the floor.

To do an entire Z you would need closer to 5 sheets of Luxury Liner Pro, but the 2 we gave you is a good start, especially when you are strategic about the placement of the products.

I just posted my thread here. I'll toss a slightly modified one up on my350z soon. Second Skin Sound deadening install/review

tl;dr: The result was great, but I suck at working on car interiors.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about it being difficult. I'm only planning on doing partial trunk with SPL tiles and using the rest on the doors. I'm going to use the luxury liner only in the trunk.

Thanks for the great review!

I started doing my hatch yesterday, and I'm about halfway done. I probably won't have a writeup until Wednesday because I'm going to be without my car Mon/Tues and I won't be putting all the panels back in until I get it back, so I want to drive it a bit first. Also, I won't be doing the doors this go-around since I won't have the time. I decided to do the entire hatch area, so I think I'm going to run short on materials to do the doors anyway, so I'll have to order some more.

Everything is going good so far, and I'm going to have an *** ton of pictures to share. Oh, and I'm sore as hell from sitting in my hatch for like 5 hours.

Come on winners, I'm looking forward to more reviews!

I am trying to decide whether to do this myself or have a professional do the install for me. Having it done will be expensive and won't give me the satisfaction of a well done DIY. But I am worried about messing up/damaging the interior panels and ending up with more squeaks and rattles and other problems then I started with. Looking forward to your feedback!

Well my hatch is done, and I'm going to put up the review/writeup on the weekend, since it is going to take a good bit of time to write everything.

My first drive in to work, and it definitely decreased the amount of road noise I was getting by a pretty big amount. Haven't listened to any music yet.
