Integra_boomer Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Im going to buy some sound deadner and i noticed with fatmat, you get alot more for your money but how does it compare to the second skin? I know the second skin is good stuff but all i want is my trunk rattle GONE lol.. any opinions will help thanks.

n8ball2013 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 its about half the thickness of second skin and even more than that of SS damp pro. I bought fatmat didnt like the smell of it straight out the box and sold it off. The guy i sold it to said it did not smell once out of the box though.

jeyrapboy Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Get fatmat man... Its really good. As nate said it does have a smell to it. But when i pulled it out of the box the odor was gone. Been in my buddys car almost 8 months and we lost the rattles and there is no odor at all... I am about to pick up the 100 sq ft roll.

TeamHT Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) i know the fatmat price is nice, but it really depends on your setup. if youre not installing groundpounder equipment fatmat is great for the price. if you wanting best quality secondskin all the way. but if youre wanting best quality but cheaper, upgrade from the fatmat and get the rattletrap. im using the rattletrap an couldnt be happier.

BeatBox Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 fat mat for me i didnt notice any smell, yeah some when installed but after wards none at all, and does make a difference. not as good as second skin but for the price fatmat is the way to go IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socky Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I just wanted to add this, at slamology a 300c with 4 fi btls on 4 saz 3500s, had 5 lays of fatmat on the roof and 3 on the doors, 2 on the floor. When he sealed his car up, you could not hear any bass at all.

Andrew2944r Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) If you have high heat where you live do not buy Fatmat, smell is like a tar road for weeks. I switched to second skin and have had no issues with smell or sticking issues.
