Hey all,
I got my dynamat in a few days ago, and thought today would be a good day to start the process. I have never used dynamat before, so today was the first time applying it.

I got this "bulk" kit (dynamat extreme) off ebay for about $90 plus shipping. Contains 36 sq. feet in the form of 9 sheets
I used the DIY rear seat removal posted by "nycg35" found here: http://g35driver.com/forums/showflat...&part=all&vc=1
Great write up!
Back to the topic. I found it easiest to make a template out of paper and then transfer it to the dynamat for cutting.
Here is what the original back looks:

Notice the olive drab mat. It is not glued down or anything, rather just sitting there. I don't know how good it does at dampening the sound.
Here is a pic of the first sheet I applied.

The sheets are rather easy to apply. Once the template is made, simply start at a corner and slowly press into the crevases and such. I used a 1" wallpaper wooden roller to help smooth everything out and make sure there is a tight bond between the dynamat and the metal.
I cut a special piece to cover the lids, rather than just leaving it solid. No need to do anything if they have to be removed.
I finished the other side and used some of the scraps to fill in some of the other areas.

This is not a quick project, nor is it relaxing work. :P Tomorrow I will work and remove the side panels to get to the wheel wells, where I will put 2 layers of dynamat. Then I'll move up to the front of the car and do under the floormats/front wheel wells. Leftovers will probably be put in the trunk area.
With these layers, there is a slight decrease in road noise. The real "hot" spots are above the wheel wells.

The bulk pack is 36 sq feet and weighs 15 lbs. Not that much weight.
There is a spray on form, that you use for the outside of your car, like the plastic liner of the wheel wells. I'm not sure how effective it is.
