dynomatting the hood
I'm a newbie just using the search here and there and I was wondering how much dynomatting the hood would cost. the cost. and would there be a downside to dynomatting it.

The hood is the first place to start, especially if the OEM stuff is missing. Cavellm is right, Dynomat is not designed for that application however, and will fail.
Do a search in the interior/exterior section for more details..............You are talking about a monster project if you do the entire vehicle, and probably adding about 50 lbs or more. - no way around it since you need mass to make it work - but you should be able to get a db reduction of 10 or so, which is enormous, and it will make your stereo, no matter what you have, sound awesome.

So is there anything you've found that works good??? I saw some stuff one time but it was pretty ugly looking, I was also thinking of the dynamat since it has that alum look to it. Is there anything else similar that will work?
I'm not worried about the weight from just putting it on the hood and doors, I've got pleany of power to make up for the 30lbs I'll be adding to the car. I'd gladly sacrifice 30 lbs for a much quiter ride and be able to hear my stereo.

I'm running an Alpine deck, JL Audio coaxial door speakers and a JL Audio Micro Sub 8.1 with a 100 watt amp. It sounds little when describing it, but it's actually very loud and has INCREDIBLE sound quality. Also, it doesn't weigh much and takes minimal space in the already small hatch area. Hope that helps.
