I bought a dynamat HoodLiner and a Trunk Kit. for a 92 tempo

Now im not really a car expert, so any suggestions on how to install the 2 kits?

Will the hoodliner really reduce engine noise?....and how would i go about installing the trunk kit.. i bought a roller, but anything in particular i have to do?

Work with small pieces, adhere tightly to the sheet metal. Where there's a curve and a dip, get the Dynamat into the curves so that it is against the metal. Work in the sun on a warm day, leaving the sheet of Dynamat that you are working with laying under the sun to make it most pliable and sticky. Roll and push with your thumbs into the contours. You need to cover unbraced sheet metal first, secondary is the metal bracing. And neatness doesn't count, if there is a factory liner that is going to be installed back over it. So if it's easier to overlap some edges, go ahead.

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

A heat gun REALLY helps w/ regular dynamat type products.
