Re: Ahh paint Jobs...

what kinda dynomat you use???????????????
I dynomated my whole damn car and may have added 20 lbs!!!!!
There are different kinds tho and i agree if you use the Molding type that
you may add some weight. BUT if you use the already shaped pieces ya can
buy the weight diff. should be minimal and the noise loss is GREAT. not all
of us have 6X9s in the back. I would love to see ya get my tripod Custom
12w6s Bridged together into a 1.5 ohm mono Blocked PPI into the back of
your car without any rattle.I barely keep the back window from bowing out
yet alone keep from haveing rattles, My back passenger panels vibrated, my
hood vibrated, i could hear the muffler resonater, my spre wheel well
(which is used on my 2.8 foot enclosure to save space) rattled HELL even my
mirrors outside rattled. All which is gone now by dynomating. I would not
be without it now. When i had my dash out to replace the cracked one i even
dynomated the whole underside of that! My car is more quiet then any new
Jetta or Golf out there and i love it...I would never be without it on my
81s but when i had my 87 now that had a little more noise dampening to
begin with.
sorry to ramble on but make sure you get the right kinda 
"dead beat" "dynomat" or you are going to be sorry ya even tried it.
