  1. Hello all. This is my first post. I have a 1982 Trans Am and have been driving it for about 4 years. It has had lots of work done to it by me and my father: mildly built 406 sbc, EFI, full free-flowing exhaust (loud), 4L60e, paint, interior like new, etc. I've never really been happy with how "open" it feels to outside noise, meaning it's not very quiet inside at all. It's never bothered me too much though because that's all I've known a car to be like. Dad's '03 and '66 Corvettes are loud inside, Mom's '95 Explorer is loud inside. Well, back in 2010 we bought a new Camaro RS/SS. Wow, it's extremely quiet inside, unlike anything I have ever been in. Still has some tire noise but nothing like I'm used to. Fast forward to about 4 months ago when I started working at the Mercedes, Jaguar, Land Rover dealership around here. I now know what luxury car silence is. After having this constant exposure to nice quiet cars, I almost cant stand to drive my own because of all the noise. My goal is to make it at least as quiet as the Mercedes are, if that's possible with a 30 year old car. From what I have gathered, be it lurking on this forum or studying the Second Skin website, the CLD tiles only require about 25% coverage to be fully effective. Then you add the MLV and you want full coverage. Please, please correct me if I'm wrong. I wont be offended, I'm here to learn and do it correctly the first/only time with all Second Skin products. I guess my first question is, how many square feet of what do I need for my '82 Trans Am? I have yet to find information where this has been done on a third generation f-body car. I'm not too worried at all about trying to have the quietest vehicle on the road because I live in the real world where cost effectiveness is what I live by. I just want a nice quiet ride without spending $600+ for sound insulation. Hell, a cheap little Honda Civic is luxury quiet when compared to my car. I don't have any "tunes" or loud bass I'm trying to keep in. No subs or amps, just a replacement head unit from when the stock one gave out and some "slightly better than stock" speakers. I'm a simple is best kind of guy. I just want a simple, "minimal steps required" solution. Thanks to anyone in advance for any help and thanks to all for this very helpful forum!
