[QUOTE="headless, post: 6505217, member: 566363"] ****! I hate to say it, but that's some lazy ass ****. Putting deadening only on the inside of the inside door panels is just cutting corners. I would guess that they just didn't bother because they didn't want to clean the exterior door skins with acetone, and maneuvering the deadening through the holes in the inside door panel can be a little tricky. At retail prices, a door kit, ~12sqfoot is ~40$. I used 2 of those plus a bulk pack plus about 60-80sq foot of RAAMat for my trunk and doors. I only put ~2sq foot in each of the rear doors because no speakers were mounted in them. For 300$ i would expect to be paying for the matierals and and installation of a bulk pack (~140$ at retail cost) correctly in my doors. That'd be ~18fq foot total per per door and should be good to go. I'd probably want an additional trunk kit installed too. With that much deadening, large portions of the plastic door panels and metal door skins would be covered with overlapping deadening or double layered. The trunk and 2 doors PROPERLY deadened shouldn't be a >500$ proposition, especially considering you could pick up an entire 62.5 sq. ft. roll of raamat for ~120$ and install it yourself in 4-5 hours.
