ok if you interior has shown up on the back of a milk carton lately then you know how hot an RX7 can get. well all was lost till now.

their is this stuff called quick roof at home depo. It has an foil back with tar on the front, will stick to any thing, an will dampen sound and block out heat. but here is the best part a 30 foot roll is 12.96 lol a hell of a lot cheaper than dynomat.

just wanted to let you guys know about it i will be getting some for my car wednesday an i will try to post pics but this could be some really good stuff

 

only one thing 2 do is test it with a decial meter and compare it to stock and find the previous test scores with dynomat and what not.

 

so your telling me, i can purchase this stuff.. turn around label it as my own no name brand... and sell it on ebay for a profit?? =D

jk jk

 

haha!! well that sounds great! i need some of that, my front carpet was missing when i bought it. it's always hot in there... but i thought it must be good for winter.

i'll wait to buy some after seeing you install it, hope it turns out great! i've been trying to get my hands on some.

 

tell us how it goes...

 

Of course, Dynamat is not exactly tar paper. It's some kind of "space age plastic" according to the package. My simple tests (things like burning it, finding out what kind of solvents dissolve it, etc.) show that it's not even close to tar chemically. It may look like tar, but it's not. It's far closer to rubber. I'm also willing to bet that it insulates better and is far lighter.

You will need a surprising amount to cover the floor pan of the car. About 54 square feet. Weigh 54 square feet of your tar paper, then the same amount of Dynamat Xtreme.

Dynamat is expensive for sure. But you get what you pay for.

 

now i agree with aaroncake you get what you pay for but this stuff is really light a roll weights all most about a can of beans lol but i can not wait to install i will be sure to include pics just have to get some time to do this

an a burning test sounds pretty interesting

but if any one else can get to it before me please go ahead

I think this guys test out did Aaron's. Whenever I buy I plan to get the Second Skin Damplifier. The tar stuff will work but it has its drawbacks. I think the biggest complaint is the smell.
