Heard these guys make some pretty good stuff.  Anyone ever use this outfit or have a recommendation for something of similiar quality and price?

On a similar yet totally different topic has anyone ever tried ceramic tinting their windows vs just regular tint?  I heard the ceramic tint really blocks the sun and I live in a desert so I thought I might be worth it to spend the money on a really good tint job.

Thanks

This could go above the headliner to keep the heat out.

I was also thinking that maybe on the firewall and under the floorboards I could  put this down to keep some of the heat out of the Interior from the exhaust/headers?  Not sure if there's enough space or if I'm overthinking things again.

Thanks in advance...

I just use the sound deadener on the roof.  Makes the car sound super solid when the doors shut too.

I've used www.fatmat.com (http://www.fatmat.com) on a couple of cars now and really like the stuff. It's as good as Dynamat but significantly less.  I purchased the sheets instead of a roll because it is easier to fit and cut as needed.  I did my doors too and it made a big difference in sounding solid instead of like a hardware store was collapsing.

I'm going to be using this product "Lizard Skin" spray-on insulation when I get to that point in the project.
They have a spray-on sound control and a ceramic heat protection that you can layer together.

I used it once, never again.... It works ok, nothing special.. but it's messy & it leaves rough texture like undercoating

We will see how it works out. I did lizard skin thermal coating from the lower half of the firewall to the rest of the bottom of the car and roof. For my application, the texture doesn't bother me much. I can see an issue on a OE style restoration though.

I may be on my own here but I used this stuff . . . it is thin, less expensive and has the same effect.
It is a slow go at only 6" wide strips but it does make it easier to install.  :alan2cents:

I tried a product called Noico.  Available on Amazon and Ebay.  They actually give you a piece of Dynamat to compare it to. 25 sf is $39.20 delivered.  50 sf was $68.80.  Pleased with it.  Seems to make a huge difference on the roof.

This is what I am using. So far I've done my doors and trunk and have no complaints on quality or price

You guys haven't had issues with deadener on the roof? I've heard horror stories of the head breaking lose the glue and falling down on the headliner...

That was the only reason I waited so long to do the roof.  I wiped the roof down with prep all first to make sure I got a good clean surface.  I only had a few air bubbles but I cut the material there and rolled them real good.  It does sound solid but I still worry about the possibility of it getting too hot and coming loose.  No going back now.

I've used both Dyna and Hushmat products. There is a slight installation advantage when using the Hush mat. When applying  into tight spaces like on your door skin the aluminium backing is not as stiff making it easier to get into tight corners. And don't forget to get your self a good roller too.

As an alternative to lizard skin, Added to rustoleum rolled and brushed on floor. Some say lizard skin is simply this additive or similar and a high solids latex paint. After painting I then added sound deadener.
