Any shop (or person) that does sound deadening?

Looking for reasonably priced sound deadening install for an 08 fxt. I was thinking about picking up a ton of raaamatt and ensolite, but don't have a driveway/garage so figured i'd just pay to have it done. any help appreciated

Super easy to do but expensive to have a shop do it. I am sure you find find a place to park and pop your door panels out for a few min.

figured as much. i'd be down to try (definitely never pulled apart an interior) but no idea how long it would take, and how i'd find a place out here for that to happen

I did it to my 05 fxt and it is quite some work. Probably a total of 8ish hours, i did my 4 doors, rear hatch and trunk floor. I still have some left but you just need to get in there and do it. It really isnt too bad.

My shop can and does do it, I suggest you DIY it. 8-12hr labor depending on car for the full thing. Its really not that hard to do yourself, just very time consuming.

read through this before you do anything. just dumping a ton butyl wall-to-wall is the bonehead way to do sound control, theres much better solutions out there and much better materials for different locations/applications.
