Message Upper hatch, headliner, exterior panels.

That is the order that I would begin adding sound deadening to the Z. I
also recommend using B-quite Ultimate .7mm. I also strongly
recomended using a product called Ensolite on top of the sound
deadening material. Both products together make for amazing results.

Total coverage of the sound deadening material is not required but makes
the job easier when you don't have to test every inch for results.

I hope that helps.


:...and I'm going to start with the interior. The pseudo-suede trim and
the front leather seats are in really bad shape. But I found a guy who
sells a custom cut suede kit and another who provides good looking
leather replacement seat 'skins'. That, and a new carpet will set me back
about $750, but will make the inside look like new. Brings me to my
question...
:And since I loves me my classic rock and there's also an audio upgrade
in my future, I want to do what I can to soundproof the cabin as much as
possible. Pulling out all the door panels, trim, seats, and carpet provides
me an amazingly good opportunity to Dynamat the hell out of it. But
having never used the stuff, I'm not sure how much is enough. Is it truly
'more is better' or is there a point of diminishing returns in making my Z
as quiet as a tomb? Any places I should concentrate on more than
others?
:I'll post pictures of the new inside when it's done.
