if you have more time and material...
side panels (especially on the Liftback)
and roof.


the great thing about the yaris is that our roof is REALLY small, so the noise from it is nothing compared to say an SUV.


I'm looking forward to adding 20sq ft to each door and sealing them up, 20more sq ft to the firewall.

and then adding the window vent shades (which people claim cut down on wind noise)

When cruising on a nice road I mainly only hear wind noise.... Car is alot quieter than stock (when I run stock PSI in the tires... i'm run 40+ now).

Thanks for the quick reply. I am already familiar with how to apply the material to the doors, but for the life of me I can't find not one source online that tells you how to apply it to the firewall. Do you know of any source that explains the process? To tell you the truth I am not even sure what constitutes a firewall to begin with!

For the wheel wells, what do you recommend? I know they make sprays you can apply, but there are so many it's very difficult to choose wisely when doing this for the first time with no experience.

I have also read that people applied material to the hood of their cars. Is this effective in any way in reducing cabin noise? Sorry for bombarding you with questions! Thanks again.
