The passenger side rear wheel well was not nearly as bad, probably because the gas filler pipe changes the shape of the wheel well liner. This was after I had done a fairly extensive Dynamat job on the car (see my prior posts early in this thread). I had some rubberized undercoating in the garage so I applied a heavy coating on the outer half of both wheel wells which seemed to make a modest improvement, this should help with "pebble noise" too. My advice would be to include a heavy application of undercoating in the rear wheel wells to complement the application of Dynamat in the interior of the car.
THANK YOU!!!! This is what I have been saying about the pebble noise issue from the beginning. If what I've done so far doesn't help me ignore the pebbles a month from now, I'm going to paint them with rubber stuff too. Glad to hear it makes a difference.

Thanks again --- Bonzo
