Once you get this done, you'll can report back to us about how much of an impact the undercoating makes for sound deadening. If it makes a very noticeable difference, I might consider looking into having it done.

Hamster I'll let you know when I get a chance to take a long trip the end of this month. One thing I can say for sure. It doesn't make any noticeable difference in only city driving to my ears. Hope it's better on the freeways...

Darn, too bad it doesn't seem to make a difference on city streets. There are some pretty bumpy side streets around where I live!

There was another guy that said it did help with quieting down his ride. I think he said there was rocks or gravel on his raods. If I see his post again I'll write down the user name for you.

Thanks! It'd be great to see what other's have experienced in terms of sound deadening.

Found him Hamster. Try PM ing henrylee from this thread. He seems satisfied with the undercoating I think his is solvent based, maybe from a spray can.

Thanks! I'll look into it. But first, I need to find out if the Toyota dealerships around where I live offer the undercoating. When I bought my Yaris in 2009, I remember the salesman trying to push me into buying the paint and upholstery protection thing. I declined, since I knew it was BS. I cannot recall if he tried to sell the the undercoating. Looks like I'll need to call the dealership.
