Better pics and review after a few days!
First impressions: This was definitely my first time at the rodeo! The GTMat was incredibly easy to handle and adhered flawlessly. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8281/7...da76609b_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8427/7...54450d3a_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8281/7...a454b169_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8433/7...97d4f988_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7111/7...5cd811bb_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8438/7...90b82db6_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8286/7...e68f69ca_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7...bd9e18c6_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8307/7...3b9c6bee_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8302/7...770cdda3_z.jpg |

Update: I installed roughly 30-40 sq ft. Today in the doors and in the back. First impression is wow. It has made a huge improvement so far. I will have more gopro videos later with decibel readings. The smell is basically non-existent. I was installing outside and never really smelled anything.
I would highly recommend this to anyone. It's a cheaper option than some of the other brands, but works EXCELLENT. I will be installing more under the carpet underneath the seats next week. |
Alright, I'm typing this on the computer, and then I'll add the pics from my phone. I suck at reviews, but I'll give it my best shot.
Customer Service: The man I spoke to on the phone was very courteous and friendly. I asked him a few questions and he explained the answers in detail for me. I have nothing bad to say about this :) Shipping: It shipped the same day I called them, and arrived 3 days later. Everything was packed well, and the box included the GTmat, instructions with pictures, 2 GTmat stickers, and even a little roller. I thought the roller was a nice touch, and it made the job a lot easier than smoothing it all with your hands. I would have gotten tired of that pretty quickly. There was also a coupon in the box, if you like the product and you want to get some more then you can save $10 (I think that's what it was). Very pleased so far :) Quality / Install: I have to admit that I haven't had much experience with sound deadening material before, so I'm kind of a noob with this. But this stuff looks to be pretty good quality. It's got a little weight to it, but not too heavy. The adhesive side stuck well to the truck of the car and once on there was actually difficult to pull back off. It was my first time installing this kind of stuff so I honestly don't know if I did a good job, but I gave it my best. Feel free to critique my pics. The install seemed pretty straight forward, the stuff was pretty pliable and wasn't a PITA at all. I also heard people asking if there was a smell to it. This may sound stupid but I actually stuck it to my nose and didn't smell anything. Then, the next morning after the install I went back into my car and did a smell test. Nothing. I asked my wife to check it out. Nothing. Happy about this as well :tup: Result: Just with the 10sqft I can there's a noticeable difference. My exhaust is a little quieter, and the road noise is a little bit lower. I would think that if you got enough of the 80mil to do the whole trunk and the doors (50sqft?) sound would be reduced dramatically. I have also noticed slightly better bass response from my 12" Zenclosure in the back. I took a db measurment before I did this, but I haven't gotten to take one after so I don't know how the numbers have been affected. I'll probably be able to do that this sunday, then I'll post it up. All in all for the money I believe this is a great product and a great value, and as soon as I get my components I'm going to be giving these guys a call back for some more of the 80mil. Thanks GTmat!

This is what I used to sound deaden my Sophie:hello:. I ordered off ebay 50 Sq Ft, it came in the mail with in 5 days. Came with the roller and some plastic tools to smooth it all out. I laid it from the Fire Wall all the way back to the trunk. Also did the roof, worked awesome. I have ART Test Pipes on Fast Intentions Carbon Fiber Exhaust cans (Loud inside cab)... After deadening I could talk on the blue tooth with out yelling.
The 50 foot roll was around 25 pounds. I put it on a scale before laying it out. My trunk had been done already by someone else but there were lots of gaps, and surface areas not covered. I laid G-Matt over it and used sound deadening spray to get in areas that are hard to reach. Makes a big difference. Once I finished I went over it all with a heat gun, made it more pliable and formed around tight corners and difficult areas. Thanks G-Matt, if you come up with any new stuff, I'll test it for you !!!! http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...h-journal.html PM me if you have question..:tup: Install Pics as requested: Feel free to cruise my Albums. http://www.the370z.com/members/nut_n...dle-cables.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/nut_n...0-dscf0566.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/nut_n...1-dscf0567.jpg |

FYI, I installed the 10 sq. ft. sample this past weekend and shot some video. Not sure when I'll have it edited and ready to post but it should be sometime mid week.
Results: - Installed in the trunk - Noticeably quieter at idle - Really easy to install and adhere - Sample came in just a few days, great customer service! Used an iPhone app as a basis to measure the decibel levels before and after. At idle before = 56, after = 52 The main reason I wanted to test the deadening material was to reduce the drone created by my F.I. exhaust at about 70mph (2800rpm) on the freeway. When you step on the gas a bit there is a tone that reverberates in the cabin and is kinda annoying. While I don't mind it much, my passengers do. @70 mph before the install = 77-82 decibels, after = 77-78. So there was a measurable difference, however it wasn't really noticeable to me, at least not while on the freeway. I'm sure if I installed some more in the roof/hatch area, it would greatly help. All video and measurements were taken on the same roads and measured multiple times, so it should be fairly accurate. |
i bought and installed 50 sqft. pulled the whole interior and got it done in a day.
- Product was easy to work with. - roller was absolute garbage. Broke within and hour, too much with the man hands i guess. i bought a tool box caster and used that to roll a majority of the product flat. - there has been a little odor in the car here and there but barely noticeable. GREAT PRODUCT, WELL WORTH THE PRICE. SEND ME MORE STICKERS! thinking of buying a little bit more and doing the roof. |
I installed the sample you guys sent over the weekend and didn't get a chance to drive the car until today. Since 10 sq.ft. isn't a whole lot to work with, I applied it to where I thought most of the noise was coming from, the rear wheel wells. 10 sq.ft. was enough to cover both sides, with a little left over. If you guys get just the sample to try it out, I suggest this area because you do reduce a noticable amount of road noise. It just about knocked out those little "ticking" noises hitting the wheel well when driving over not so clean road. It might just be me, but my exhaust also sounds "cleaner" since I'm not hearing as much road noise.
I'll definitely order more of this stuff in the future. I just need to set aside time to do it because it can be time consuming to install. Overall, the product does work, but there are other areas that need to be addressed. I'll add some pics later. |

Yeah I can confirm those numbers, I used a studio db meter and on average it cut out 3db at idle, and 5-6db at 70mph. Not bad for just 10sqft of the 50mil. Image what it would sound like if you had 100sqft of the 80mil!

I was able to complete the GTMat installation yesterday. First, I apologize for the grainy pics and bad lighting. It was raining both days while I did this so I just left the car in the garage.
Removing the interior panels: http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/...ttingready.jpg Everything removed (the next day lol): http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/...ovedpanels.jpg GTMAT installed! http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/.../completed.jpg I did have a few leftover strips that I slapped over the wheel wells after the last pic. Using the 10 sq. ft. I was able to cover maybe 1/2 the hatch area. It looks like more, but there is a lot of vertical surface left uncovered. The product is pretty easy to work with and total installation time probably ran 2.5 hours. I'm sure I could go quicker now after working with the product and understanding how to remove all the interior panels. I was able to mold it into place without much trouble leaving very few points where contact isn't 100%. I can't say I'm looking forward to completing the job since the remaining areas are going to be more difficult, but after hearing the results of partial coverage, it is something I plan on doing. My exhaust is pretty loud, and the tire/wheel combination definitely adds to the road noise. I only have the base stock sound system (something else on the to-do list) so I can't comment on any improvement there. Upon starting the car, I immediately noticed the exhaust was slightly quieter inside the cabin. The road noise reduction was also apparent, but not as noticeable. I didn't measure decibels, but there was some noticeable improvement from partial coverage on a very loud car. I do believe the additional reduction in noise with 100% luggage and door coverage will be worth it and would be even more so for a stock Z. I may wait a couple of months for the weather to cool off and hopefully do some speaker replacement at the same time, but I will be completing the job using GTMat. |
