I've recently come to the conclusion that my beloved EG will most likely never be the stripped out, roll caged, fixed bucket seat B18CR racer I once dreamed of. Well, not in the forseeable future.

The opposing side of this is, I still love my EG. 600KM from 35L tank keeps me happy and call me a rer-tard but I think it's actually a really good looking car. The aircon is freezing and the tint keeps it cool so it's actually a perfect daily driver.

To the question: Is it worth sound deadening the EG or will it always a thin rice rocket? I was thinking 2x bulk packets of Dynamat Extreme ($220x2) and new black carpet with thick knox felt underlay (same thing as 53XXX guy did). 2x front doors solidified with Dynamat (service holes sealed up), Dynamat on the floors and also all over the boot. Maybe Paint on deadener under the arches if I could be bothered (this would be cheap though).

Would the above drastically change the feel of the car? Both in a car audio sense and Lexus kind of way? All up, doing my own labor it should come to roughly $550 in parts (SD, Underlay and new Carpet).

I have a decent setup in it at the moment but it's obvious the thin metal and loud cabin noise is making it sound not so good.

Cheers
