GTMat is located in Texas and the majority of installations have been in Texas where, as you know, summers can hit up to 115 degrees. We have several employee vehicles that were covered in GTMat during the summer and have not had any type of melting issues. We have also shipped samples to California and Arizona in the summer and have not had any reports of melting from these customers. As far as an asphalt smell, our product has been engineered to have very little to no smell. Most of the free sample users who reported a smell, noted that it was hardly noticeable and dissipated after a few hours of installation.

Take a look at our test video and feel free to call me when you are ready to give us an honest review.
And by the way, it's ma'am and I will be installing GTMat on my 370Z doors this week. I'd be happy to take a video for you showing the temperature here and what not if you wish.

You are more than welcome to request a free sample and let us know your thoughts. Give me a call if you want one. I'd like to state the we are not out to deceive customers about our product. We know there are better options but they may not work with a budget that has been set.

I'm not one to make excuses; so with the utmost of respect to you, I apologize for being so brash. The guy up there was correct- your synopsis of your product was very honest; and I find it admirable that you even recommend higher-end, butyl-based deadeners over your own to those with fewer budgetary constraints.

Also- thank you for offering me sample in spite of how crappy I came off. Right now, I have no need. However, in the event I ever decide to build a second keeper, I may consider taking you up on it.

Liqui-Damp can be used in any place where you would consider matting. We recommend it to be layered over GTMat for the best results. People find the liquid product to be easier to work with surfaces with nook, crannies and hard to reach angles where mat will not work.

OP did u remove the stock sound deadening before install?

[GTMat]

Agreed, i also received my sample roll and it works great. Definitely much quieter cabin. I will definitely be looking into getting enough for the rest of the car. Thanks again.

yes i had previously removed it when i installed the new carpet kit. I just had to peel the carpet from the floor board, lay down the deadener, and re-apply the 3M carpet adhesive and I was done.

Kudos to you man... I may just have to try your product out as a cheaper price point product.

Hey guys, wanted to update you on this. We are no longer offering the free 10sq ft samples but still providing a smaller size sample of all three mats.

We just launched GTMat Onyx, our butyl based deadening mat. Pictures and prices can be seen here:

Of course, I am here to answer any questions you may have!

Hey Mike,
Now that we offer our own butyl based mat, maybe you can give us a shot?

I'd like to offer you a small testing sample. I'm interested in hearing some feedback from a professional installer.

[e5s4y]

if i used about 80 square feet of the gtmat, how much of the liquidamp would you recommend to cover that?

PM sent to you.

Got my GTmat in the mail yesterday and spent a couple hours this morning laying down an initial layer. The product is awesome is awesome, the quality is really great. I ordered 25sq/ft and I have a lot left to finish the center once I grind out some rust.

[future]

Going to be installing my 10ft pretty soon in my corolla and will update this thread, depending how it comes out I might be buying some more to finish off the car cause I know 10ft won't be enough

[e5s4y]

i need to put up some of the pics i took, but i installed about 80 sq. ft. of the gt mat (removed all the oem crap first) and it made a pretty noticeable difference. still need to install it behind the door panels tho.

[GTMat]

Thought I'd share some pictures of the GTM Supercar that we sponsored with Liqui-Damp.

[guitaraholic]

GTMat how much weight did it add? I will be doing the same thing to my SL-C when I get back from overseas. Did it bring the noise down to a "stockish" level?

[future]

So after doing the 10ft I was only half way done with the trunk. Ordered another 10 feet to do the other half. The before and after differences is disappointing. I might try their top of the line stuff but sceptical. Cause I noticed no difference before and after. I know Toby sells some great stuff but his is more then double the price. So still debating and don't have the funds anyways to blow on it. But as for GT bottom of the line stuff. Save your money.

I don't believe he used the entire gallon, so I'm unsure of how much weight was actually added on. A gallon comes in at 13lbs total though.

The car is still being built so I have no feedback on noise level just yet.

Sorry you feel that way. I've posted before that 10sq ft of the 50 mil will reduce cabin noise by 3db on average at idle. 10sq ft of the 80 mil bumps up to 5db on average.

If you're looking for full sound deadening, you will need to go the full route with closed cell foam and mass loaded vinyl.

If you'd like a sample pack of all 3 mats, let me know and I can drop it in the mail. It might give you a better idea of the premium product vs Pro and Ultra.
