Took a year for that mark to go away.

hilarious! lesson learned

GF thought it was funny too. Never had trouble identifying me in a crowd at the beach.

I managed to hijack a bunch of padded foam for shipping from my work. Im going to spray adhesive onto the panels behind the rear speakers that already have 3 layers of edead then put the sides back on and call it done.

I still have to use of the last 1.5 rolls of edead on the floor where the real noise is.

Crawling back into the yaris to wrap up this project, pics will ensue.

yeah, I have some 2" thick medium density foam with a non-porous backing in the side panels of my car.... pretty sure it actually made a difference... but with out a really sensitive mic it's hard to know for sure. Human ears are a horrible tool for detecting changes.

At least with all that padding your car will be better insulated in the winter? :P

Adds more protection during a crash; better than side airbags.

had to take out some of the foam pieces but I instead just stuffed them farther back in the wheel well if I could.

It's definitely a good deal more quiet now and thats without having the 3/4" carpeted MDF deck in place.

Ive also still got like 20 sqft left and everything got at least 3 layers, a fair amount got 4.
