I ordered RAAMat BXT II and Ensolite last week. It's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Hopefully, I will begin the installation this weekend. I plan to do the doors first. If I have the energy, I will start on the rear wheel wells, trunk and other areas.

I have a Radio Shack sound level meter, but I keep forgetting to take measurements.
Idk. I'm going off on what ebgs500e stated in #7 that doing the doors didn't make an appreciable difference for him. Moreover, if I did do the doors, there's a chance I'll create more rattles if something was not secured properly or some rubber/foam/insulation was missed or misaligned.

In general driving, it seems quieter but not so on bad freeway surface.
