My car sounds 100% better and is now tolerable. Not perfect, but much much better. I did not do doors, and don't think I will at this point.

With thid mod, the car will be extremely better when it is time for you to replace those stock tires (Bridgestone RE050A) with the Continental ExtremeContact DW. The Continental tires are much quieter, last twice as long, and have a very high performance rating.

So how much of the damplifier pro is needed for the hatch? I'm thinking I'll do this mod soon.

I am thinking of doing my hatch and I was trying to figure that out too. I found an old link to the SPL tiles, and appears that they are 6" x 10". The pics in the DIY (tiles next to spray can and scissors) seem to support that. DIY says about 25 of the SPL tiles are enough. That's works out to 10.4 sq ft. The second skin site has a 10 sq ft pack for $34.... getting time to do the install is the real problem for me.
