Disguising Trunk Sound Deadener

another good thing to do while you are putting sound deadner in there, is to fill the gaps with expanding foam.   It makes the trunk lid a little heavier, but worth it in the long run.    I am so tired of hearing our civic ratle....the next time we tear into it its gonna be extream. $500-$600 just on deadner2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

why spend that type of money in ur trunk when u don't have to i have only 175 in sound deadner in my ride the hold thing and there is no rattling at all other than the button on the tailgate to open the rear window  goitn to get rid of that in the near future. I have sounddeadner and spray road killl through out it floors, doors, sides and roof. i also used spando foam where i needed it . (warning use very little of this if you over do it it will warp the sheetmetal and show up big time), this hasn't happened to me but i have seem a car hatch back nice paint job but the areas the guy used spando foam was very very clear. 4-15" RF T2

 1. i don't question anyone about anything

2. I have been building systems for over 20yrs 

3. if you read my sign you will see that i have a little over 2" of deadner through out my ride. and only paid a fraction of the price that Jeff is paying.

before u jump on anyones case about anything take ur own advice and use it

You're right, I didn't need to make the comment.  But my respects are paid where they're due.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I think Steve was just taking time to brag a bit about jeff. Let's not attack anyone
