I know that I might get flamed for it, but you sound like youre doing what I am working on.

I am 3x bulk packs of dynamat xtreme (36ft2 per pack) in and I need 1 more bulk pack to finish the job.

I have not touched the doors, the area next to the rear seats, or the firewall yet.

I have, however, matted everything else. I have enough done such that I have all of the interior back in the car except for the plastic panels by the back seats.

So, using 4 bulk packs as a guesstimate, that puts it at 144 square feet (give or take).

Thats a gross amount of matting (har har...)

Default Ramaat

I used 65 sqft. of Ramaat Ultra (used to be called Brown Bread) but ran out at the passenger door. 80 would be better.

honestly, just get some name brand DYnamat extreme for your car. youll thank yourself later. There are TOO many cheap immitations around that dont work nearly as well as they say they do. ive used 200 sq (100 on my car)ft of fatmat xtreme and could not be more disapointed. Dynamat extreme forms extremeley well around curves, is slightly thicker, and needs minimal prepping for the best adhesion. Fatmat starts falling off after 1 week of hot weather.

Do it right the first time; you never have to worry doing it over. Should sound great with no rattles.
