> 3 dayBeing the first time I have used this I didnt know what to expect. Was it going to be hard to install? Would I hear a sound improvement? I was watching videos of people installing it and they said to let it heat up in the sun. There is a point when it gets a bit to hot and it flops around and is super sticky. I was putting this in the door panels of a 2019 Honda Civic 2dr. Not a lot of room to work with and it wants to stick to every little thing it touches. Not a bad thing but just takes more care to get it in there. I did the bottom 2/3 of the doors. Now when you tap on the doors its just a thud. Overall sound from the stereo was improved. The low notes are now MUCH cleaner! The bass guitar sounds like a bass guitar and not just some humming low note. Same goes for the bass drum. Much more defined and musical. I cant say anything about noise reduction from outside the car yet because I just havent driven the car enough. So for under $50 its worth it in my opinion.

> 3 dayDecent for what it is…. Not as thick as 80mil I believe but it does the trick. If you do 2 to 3 layers you will be sold just 1 layer might not do it for a big audio build.

Greater than one weekSuper easy to install! I just cut up the material a bit and applied it with one of the cheap sound deadener rollers that are on Amazon. The noise level went down significantly with only about 30 percent coverage on some of the van panels. Previously, the sound had been so bad, that my husband and I could not hear each other talk even when we were yelling, and I felt like my dental fillings might fall out from the vibrations. After applying the sound deadener, I took a day trip a few states away, and I actually forgot to listen and check on the noise level, because the noise level had reduced so much. I recently replaced a door on my van, and because that door doesnt have sound deadener, you can now hear a lot of rattling but only from that door. Have to get the roller and sound deadener out again.

> 3 dayI have a 2013 Mercedes C300 4MATIC. The only place on the vehicle where they do not add sound deadening insulation is in the trunk, where the spare tire lies. I decided to give this a shot because it had a 5 star review. Well, it did not let down! There is a noticeable difference in the road noise. I am very OCD about things, and this took care of all my worries. I utilized the 18sqft package, and had one mat left over. I did a full layer covering the entire spare tire well. It took about 2 hours, with the assistance of my wife. I would highly recommend getting the roller to get air bubbles out and to ensure proper adherence. Prior to installation I cleaned all surfaces with rubbing alcohol and ensured that all particles were swept out. I DID NOT utilize gloves, nor would I suggest it because they just get in the way. I took her for a drive down the interstate immediately following install, and all I can say is. WOW! Definitely worth the $50 bucks. Truthfully, it does not look all that bad, either. All of it is hidden under the spare tire carpet covering, so you have to lift that up before you even know that it is there.Thank you KILMAT!!!!

Greater than one weekI installed Kilmat in my Toyota Camry SE; which as any Toyota Camry owner can tell you the road noise is quite loud. I did the entire trunk, and all of the doors, including the inside of the skin of the door, and the door panel itself. I will say this product is fantastic at blocking noise and deadening sound vibrations. Installation is easy and definately get the rollers (espeically the small one) as they make a huge difference. My aftermarket stereo really came to life after applying Kilmat generously on the doors; the bass came to life and the nuances in the music could now be heard. The Camry is much quieter now and the doors have that quality thump when you shut them. the outside noise is now at a minimum; and you can tell you are sitting in a quiet car. The nice thing is that you do not have to blast the music to hear the nuances; which is great for my daughters ears. I found most reviews here say that there is no smell; this in my experience is completely untrue. Perhaps there may be an off-gas period that needs to happen, but the inside of my Camry smells like tar or perhaps a glue smell. However, the smell is not repulsive or strong, but definitely present; its like someone farted in the seat and you sat in the seat and got that whif.... opening the windows relieves the strength of the smell for a bit. I left the windows open today to deal with the smell; and I did the trunk a few days ago and it still smells. I have read that Kilmat is not asphalt based, which is great, but beware that after applying you may smell it for a while. To be fair, it has only been a few days since applying, so I will update this review when the smell disappears as I expect that it will. I would and will continue to purchase this product as the value of what this does for the price is great. I plan on doing my 4Runner next.

> 3 dayMy truck is just about as noisey as they come, while I wasnt jumping for joy to do the actual job of installing these, ill tell ya - pretty big difference. After the install i remember my first drive thinking whats wrong with my truck? it sounds... weird - what was weird was that it was quiet! Installing these is a labor of love. Find a nice fair weather day, some shade and put on some tunes and just get it done, if your car is noisy this is your solution. It goes on easy and has so far (1 year+) held up great, I have had to remove my door panels to install new mirrors and took a peek inside and its all held up the same as the day I put it on. I ended up doing nearly my whole SUV, interior, firewall, all 4 doors, the back bed/trunk. Made a huge difference, would do it all over again if I had to. 5/5

Greater than one weekThis was really great quality insulation - stripped my car to the frame (removed trim and chairs etc) and adhered it to the frame itself. Easy to cut the pieces down to size with a simple box cutter (though will get gunked up over time with the black stuff inside). Put it down, kinda use a flat surface thingy (I used an old name tag from work) and then went over it with my hands (the heat from your hands helps). Now my car is clean, quiet and warm in this cold front were all having. Highly recommend if youre looking to quiet your car from outside or engine noises (Id say a good 20-30% decrease from before I did this). Very happy with how it turned out.
