Not like new but definitely better than the bronze color they were turning.

Since everyone loves pics... There's more damage, especially behind the bumper, but this is the most apparent.

Rolled 310,000kms today!

Played arts and crafts with my Z's hatch! I got some 3m sound dampening mats to start. Lined the wells, put some on the flooor and also on the bumper wall. To my surprise the panals had some 'cotton like' gauze / padding on some of it but not fully lined. Also noticed there were a few 'patches' of something as well. I'm assuming it was used to help dampen sounds. I did a few 'tap' tests to find hollow area's or ding areas and focused on covering those places. It became a lot more dampened after application.

I did go on a test drive and was a little less noisy from the rear but the real test will be a rain-weather drive. Next step is to save up some more doe to grab a megapack of husmat or something and fully line the trunk area. Work in progress as life goes on!

Some brands like Hush Mat you don't need a roller, is super easy to go down.

Didn't use a roller, used a handle of my scissors to get into the wedges and then a card thingie (those plastic dry wall paste appliers?) to smoothen the surface. Lots of hand action too!

The good thing about the 3m brand is it was maleable and stretched to conture into all the nooks and crannies and bumps. I'm going to have to more than likely make some cuts into the foam after applying the hushmat so the plastic fenders can fit back in.

It's actually pretty fun... and looking at some of stuff you guys have done in the past I'm in the 'more is better' category too! lol That extra weight will keep my tires contacting the pavement haha

noted! leaning towards the hushmat now!

I've never used a roller for dynamat. Just a nice set of gloves so I don't slice up the hands. Speaking of, I just ordered a bulk pack of dynamat myself. Probably going in next week.

That's not a simple fix. Looks to me like there will be some work under the surface as well.

Sorry to see that. Get a good shop.

you gotta use a roller... otherwise you might have gaps between the material and panel making it less effective.
