Sound dampening doors with Secondskin DP & LLP Thought I'd post a couple of pics of my current project.
You can read about the products here:

Very positive 1st impression:
1) The doors now close with a solid Thunk...not the cheap, sheet metal sound from stock.
2) NO sound comes through the doors now. So now I can isolate FRONT vs REAR road noise. Surprisingly, it's the rear tires I hear the most (holding in clutch, idling at 50 mph).
So now I'll work on rear road noise and the muffler drone.
I still want to be able to hear my header/catback/cam...just not as loud while cruising.
Two Damplifier Pro "Tiles" on massive 2x4 doors to reduce vibration
Followed by 2x4 sheet of Luxury Liner Pro glued over tiles.

I think you should be able to muffle your 10 bolt quite a bit with all the bare sheet metal around it to apply sound dampening to.

I did this to my ENTIRE car. Pulled up all the carpet, did the doors, the trunk, EVERYTHING... Its quieter than a Cadillac. That and with the sound system its a dream. Great investment over all, little pricey, but I love it.

Did you weigh it before & after?
The 2002 Camaro brochure (I still have it!) boasts "under 3,500 lbs"
Mine with 1/2 tank weighs 3480lbs. But now I've ordered 30 lbs and then another 50 lbs of sound dampening.
Pretty soon it will be like a modern Detroit "Camaro" /Challenger /Mustang tank!
