On a different note, I was backing out of the driveway and slowly turning the steering wheel as the rear of the car began to dip on one side and lift on the other I could hear a snapping sound as the body twist broke some of the material adhesion loose.
That stuff had to be affixed very tightly in order to make a snap/pop sound like that when it gave way.

Got the rear area done all the way to the back of the front seats. Did the drivers door as well and will finish the rest when I have time. Ive used 6 1/2 rolls so far and have used it very generously. Not a area uncovered. So far its made a dramatic improvement in outside noises, exhaust drone, tire noise, overall suspension noise, climate stability, and bass clarity. Would definitely recommend this stuff. I just used a roller bc it was hot enough i could press it into any place needed. The non buisness end of a screwdriver helps in the tight areas too...

I'm contemplating covering the inside of the interior panels before reinstalling everything. Just not sure if it would be worth the time, money, and effort?

Yea thats me ha. I was thinking the same thing but didnt wanna add the extra weight and spend the money if there wasnt any more results. I havnt had any noise out of my plastics since I did this if that helps you any but its only been 2 days.

Personally one of the best mods ive ever done - but im going to go back add some more to the transmission tunnel, and a little more to the doors - maybe get some ensolite - because now the rest of the car is quiet but I hear a lot of noise from the center console hahaha

Another good thing to do is put down some closed closed cell foam and a mass vinyl layer on top of the quick roof. The quick roof just prevents the sheet metal from vibrating and its not neccesary to cover 100% of the surface area (even though I did just for the hell of it). 25% coverage on the middle is recommended for the vibration dampner material and the foam should act as a barrier between the dampner and the MLV. The MLV is what really blocks out road noise, tire noise and exhaust drone. Think the dampner made a difference.... wait til you add these two components to complete the equation. Heres the formula haha Quick Roof (or Dynomat, Edead, Fatmat,etc.)+Closed Cell Foam+Mass Loaded Vinyl = QUIET.

With the Quick Roof I did mine outside in the sunlight (not by choice, limited time to work on it) and didnt need a heat gun. If you have the luxury of doing it indoors or in a shop a heat gun might be a good idea to make it easier to form. A dough roller is what I used and had ZERO problems getting it to fit and the even pressure really made it stick.

As for the coverage area you want it everywhere, not like the vibration dampener. In an F-body, the biggest differences would be in the doors, rear hatch area, behing the back seats, and center console as you mentioned. Obviously thats most of the car but if your gonna do that just do the whole damn thing...

Just got done with the quick roof in the rear well and I am surprised at how far a roll goes. I used two and need another half or so to finish the wheel wells. I don't know if I'll do inside the drivers side fender well area, I'll have a stealth box wedged in there to help block out any road noise. All in all pretty cool stuff!
