      I think he is going for weight reduction, Dynomatt is VERY heavy, best to use LizardSkin, it is a isocyanate ceramic that is substantially lighter and far superior to Dynamatt.

      I have a few spots were water somehow entered the cabin and sat under the carpet and caused some corrosion to start. I will use ChassisSaver to encapsulate the corrosion(stops it in it's tracks) and then LizardSkin followed by Μonstaliner.

      LizardSkin is a spray-on product. I will also be masking and spraying the backside of all the interior plastic panels. A buddy did his RSX that way and the car sounded/felt far more refined/solid.

      That sounds like an excellant DIY, Doug. Have you worked with this product before?
