I installed this today. Was an easy job. It adds some weight to the hood and makes a nice solid sound when you close the hood. I can't comment on the engine noise yet, still working on the A/C system, but that should be sorted out next weekend. Here is what you need to buy.
Dynamat Xtreme Tri-Pack # 20445 ( got it at Amazon.com for $55.33 w/free shipping)
Dynamat Hoodliner # 11905 ( got it at Amazon.com for $43.03 w/free shipping )
The tri-pak has 3pcs of 18"x32" sound deadener material. You will use all three with alittle left over. The only tools you need are a razor knife, scissors and a Dynamat roller ( you get that at Amazon too ) I already had a roller from a wallpaper project. You have to remove the hood. No other way to do it. Make sure the surface of the hood is absolutely clean. I used Meguiar's Gold Class Bug & Tar remover to get rid of the grease and grime then washed it a few times with car wash soap. I then waxed the perimeter since the hood was nice and clean and now easy to get at. Do not wax any area that the Dynamat material will be adhered to.
When you have it clean and dry you can start trimming the Dynamat Xtreme material. I found it easier to hold the material against the hood and rub your thumb along the edges of the hood support frame. This makes a mark on the backing paper and you can use scissors to rough cut the shape. When you have the shape that fits just peel back the paper and start at one end using the roller and press out the air bubbles. Keep peeling the paper until you have the material pressed in place. If you get an air bubble in the middle just make a cut and roll it out.
Installing the HoodLiner is easy. The only trimming you need to make is on the top corners. I decided to install mine closer to the front so I need to trim the corners to fit. If you don't mind seeing some of the Xtreme material up front then you don't need to trim a thing. I do wish that Dynamat made the kit 34"x54". Then it would be a perfect fit. But it looks good anyway. I did something different on my install. I reused 4 of the original fasteners from the old insulation. May be overkill, I think it looks good though.
You will be surprised at how this insulation makes your hood sound soild. I'm happy with the install. Time will tell how well it stands up.
By the way, I happen to have 2 boxes of Dynamat Xtreme Tri-Pack # 20445 for sale. They are unopened and brand new. $40.00 each plus shipping and I will donate 25% of each sale to DWEB.

This one should be a little better (the little circle).
